Random Tune for Tuesday 3/18/14

You must start watching the Goldbergs on ABC, particularly if you have any part of your personal development that occurred in the eighties.

Not only do you get quality acting (across the board ... even/especially the young 'uns on the show ... not to mention the inimitable Wendy McclendonCovey), but you get the best use of snippets of song on a weekly television program since Scrubs (and I'm even including that odd AfterScrubs concept year).  My only hope is that they will follow in the steps of Scrubs and release a soundtrack or two each season, because they are picking the best parts of the eighties to feature in every episode, and I can't help but smile every time I hear the opening chords of whatever tune they've worked into the plot.

Like, for instance, the episode I just watched last night (it was on demand, so it was a few weeks old), that ended with this classic Mister Mister tune that takes any eighties child "to church".
