“The Goldbergs” head into Season 6 when all-new episodes premiere on September 26. In the premiere episode entitled “Sixteen Candles,” “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.”

For more than 100 episodes, The Goldbergs has told the story of Beverly Goldberg, her sweaters, her pants-hating husband, her hilarious father, and her three children. Wendi McLendon-Covey plays Beverly on the popular show.

TVMusic Networkcaught up with her at the Television Industry Advocacy Awards where she was recognized for her work with The Write Girl Organization. Check out the interview below and catch Wendi on “The Goldbergs” airing Wednesdays on ABC.
