The Goldbergs

The ’80s are over. The comedy loosely based on creator Adam F. Goldberg’s childhood in Pennsylvania debuted in 2013 and will conclude with 10 seasons. The show had a tough time in recent years, with the passing of George Segal, who played Pops, in 2021. That was followed by Jeff Garlin, who played Murray, exiting due to allegations of inappropriate behavior. “You can’t keep asking your audience to mourn people,” star Wendi McLendon-Covey said. “That’s not why they tune in.” Hopefully, the show that brought back wonderful memories will go out on a happy note.

A MILLION LITTLE THINGS ABC, May 3

This emotional drama about the bonds of family and friendship may have begun as ABC’s answer to This Is Us, but it stood on its own and found a devoted fan base over five seasons. Creator D.J. Nash says a big “celebration of friendship” awaits in the finale. “This last scene … would be the message I would hope resonates for all of our fans who might be sad that the show is ending,” Nash told TV Insider. “There’s a circle of life that we all go through that is really profound and I can’t wait.”

BARRY HBO, May 28

Bill Hader won two Primetime Emmys for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series playing a socially awkward hitman who takes up acting classes in the dark comedy that fades to black after four seasons. We won’t forget Henry Winkler’s turn as over-the-top acting coach Gene Cousineau anytime soon.

“It’s been an amazing journey making this show, and it’s bittersweet that the story has come to its natural conclusion,” Hader says.

SUCCESSION HBO, May 28

Creator Jesse Armstrong decided to bring the Roy family saga to an end with Season 4. The two-time Emmy winner for Outstanding Drama Series was a wildly entertaining look at the unimaginably wealthy family’s boardroom machinations, power struggles and vulgaryet-clever aspersions. “There’s a promise in the title of Succession. I’ve never thought this could go on forever. The end has always been kind of present in my mind,” Armstrong told The New Yorker. “We could do something a bit more muscular and complete, and go out sort of strong. And that was definitely always my preference.”
