Today In TV History
On this date in 1949, ‘The Goldbergs’ debuted on CBS-TV. The program had been on radio since 1931. The TV version lasted for four years on CBS. It ran in 1954-55 on DuMont Television Network. “The Goldbergs” were, if not the first, among the first of the sitcoms. It was a domestic comedy featuring the home life of a Jewish family, supposedly located in the Bronx. The star of the sitcom was Molly Goldberg portrayed a big-hearted, lovingly, albeit a meddlesome, and somewhat stereotypical Jewish matriarch. The show began as a portrait of Jewish life in a tenement apartment before later evoking modern problems as moving into a more suburban setting and struggling with assimilation while sustaining their roots. Also, interesting is that Molly Goldberg wrote and directed each episode—-quite an accomplishment since it was a weekly series that ran through a much longer season than present sitcoms! It may have been a precursor to “Seinfeld” as the show touch upon everyday common issues as well as some real world issues.
