In the 1980s, geeky Adam uses a video camera to document his family's crazy life. His mother, Beverly, is overprotective and lacks boundaries, while his dad has a hot temper and finds it difficult to parent without screaming. Rounding out the clan are Adam's terrifying sister, Erica; his older brother, Barry, who has middle-child syndrome; and the family's beloved grandfather, Al "Pops" Solomon. Pops is responsible for wild antics, including offering drinks to Barry and teaching Adam about the ways of love -- which create more chaos in an already high-strung family.

Beverly buys a bicycle for Adam just like the one from "Pee Wee's Big Adventure"; Barry and Erica turn Murray's furniture store into an after-hours lounge for college students.

With everyone living back at home, the house is full of Goldberg chaos; pregnant Erica enlists Beverly's help in clearing things out for the baby; Adam and Barry are forced to share a bedroom to make room for the baby nursery.

Erica, Barry, Geoff and the gang go on a spring break trip and things don't go as expected; Adam questions if college is for him when his test scores are not as good as he was hoping for.

With both sides of the family eager for answers on Geoff and Erica's pregnancy, they decide to keep their baby's sex a surprise; Adam recruits Glascott to help his mother cope with his departure for NYU.
