The Goldbergs (2013)

The Goldbergs is a sitcom created by Adam F. Goldberg based on his childhood experiences in the 1980s. With characters based on Goldberg's own relatives, the show follows the dynamic of the titular family including grouchy father Murray (Jeff Garlin), doting and overbearing mother Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey), overconfident brother Barry (Troy Gentile), and edgy sister Erica (Hayley Orrantia). The show focuses on comedically capturing the spirit of life in the '80s through nostalgia.
