Preview — The Goldbergs Season 6 Episode 1: Sixteen Candles

The Goldbergs are back and they’re kicking off their sixth season with a tribute to John Hughes’ Sixteen Candles.

The Goldbergs Season 6 Episode 1, “Sixteen Candles,” pertains to Adam’s 16th birthday. Not only will they celebrate his birthday (or not), but we will see the aftermath of the shocking Season 5 finale where Barry and Lainey got engaged (The Goldbergs Season 5 Episode 23, “Let’s Val Kilmer This Car”).

The show has done tribute episodes before (The Goldbergs Season 5 Episode 16 is a nod to Indiana Jones and The Goldbergs Season 4 Episode 16 pays homage to The Karate Kid), and they are always well done. The Goldbergs Season 4 premiere, “Breakfast Club” is another one of their John Hughes’ tributes.

If the promo trailer for The Goldbergs Season 6 Episode 1 is any indication, this season premiere is going to be non-stop laughs, 80s gags, and movie references. “Even Long Duck Dong had more dignity than this!”

Check out the photos and video below for a preview of what is in store on The Goldbergs Season 6 Episode 1, “Sixteen Candles.”

Episode description: It’s Adam’s 16th birthday, but his parents are too distracted by Barry and Lainey’s engagement and Erica’s band ambitions to remember their youngest son’s big day. But the situation presents an opportunity for Adam to ask Erica to put him on the high school social map. Meanwhile, Beverly thinks she can scare Barry and Lainey straight with the reality of being adults.
