History Characters / TheGoldbergs

->'''Played by:''' Sadie Stanley

* TheBully: Often rags on Adam and friends ForTheEvulz, with his earstwhile girlfriend Carla.

* ExtremeDoormat

* NiceGuy: Most of the time. Well, out of the five main family members, he's not as cantankerous as [[{{Jerkass}} Barry]]; aloof as [[DeadpanSnarker Erica]]; tempermental as [[LargeHam Murray]]; or high and mighty as [[ItsAllAboutMe Beverly]].

* NiceGuy: Most of the time.

--->'''Erica:''' I told you nerd, get out of my room!

* ShesGotLegs: Erica's wardrobe favours flattering skirts and shorts.

* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Though the entire cast wears clothes straight from TheEighties , Beverly tends to dress up more, resulting in some truly spectacular outfits, including ShouldersOfDoom and that [[EightiesHair hairdo]] that looks shellacked.

* MagicalJew: He is the most unambiguously Jewish character on the show, and also [[OnlySaneMan the least insane family member]] and quite often gives good wise advice to daughter [[JewishMother Beverley]], son-in-law Murray, and to his three grandchildren [[JewishAmericanPrincess Erica]], [[CloudCuckooLander Barry]] and Adam.

* HollywoodNerd: A massive one.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The nice to Barry’s mean and Erica’s in-between

* IconicOutfit: His Philadelphia Flyers shirt, Big Orange. He replaces it in Season 3 after the original is destroyed with another Philadelphia Flyers shirt.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He doesn't always consider other people's feelings or needs and expects everyone to do what HE wants. This nearly costs him the JTP in one episode.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The in-between to Adam’s nice and Barry’s mean
* NotSoAboveItAll: At times she can be just as boneheaded as Barry.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Downplayed, but it's there. Possibly signifying a time change, Beverly goes from more of a TheSeventies style flip curl in the first two seasons to more of a Princess Diana-meets Dorothy Hamill layered look in the third season.

->'''Played by:''' Sam Lerner

->'''Played by:''' Natalie Alyn Lind (seasons 1—3; 7—)

* {{Adorkable}}: He's a nerdy boy who in general has an awkward, yet sweet demeanor.

* BigSisterBully: Not as much of a {{jerkass}} as Barry, but Erica occasionally berates Adam for his nerdy/geeky demeanor.

** {{Lampshaded}} in a season 7 episode, where he mentions he finally goes to a nude colony, but gets unconfortable because people there are "too nude".

* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Beverly did not like Dana as the former was jellows (for spending time with her Shmoopie that she could herself be spending); this fades away when the latter moves to Seattle. Dana herself has mixed feelings towards Beverly.
* GirlNextDoor: Literally (they live in the same neighbourhood) and metaforically (she's a NiceGirl).
* JustFriends: What ended up happening when Adam tried to go back with Dana.

* BigBrotherBully: Has this relationship with Coach Rick.
