* ExecutiveMeddling: Erica is loosely based on the real life's Adam Goldberg's older brother, ''Eric'' Goldberg. For the sake of adding an extra female character to the main cast, one of his family member's gender needed to be changed. The real Eric Goldberg (who has been interviewed on the show by Hayley Orrantia who plays "him") takes this in stride, commenting that the change gives him plausible deniability that others (such as his mother Beverly and brother Barry) can't hide behind.

* TheCharacterDiedWithHim: When Creator/GeorgeSegal passed away, Pops was also written out of the series with "The Goldbergs' Excellent Adventure" centering around the family's inability to process their loss.
