THE GOLDBERGS
May 3, 2017  | By David Bianculli

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Pop Quiz of the Day: Tonight’s episode of The Goldbergs is about the characters seeing, and reacting to, a frightening, Cold War-inspired ABC made-for-TV movie from 1983, called The Day After (pictured). It imagined a Soviet nuclear strike on the Midwestern U.S., and its aftermath. The pop quiz question is this: What other TV series, also set in the Eighties, presented the same basic plot last year, with its characters watching The Day After and reacting to it? (Hint: It wasn’t The Russians.)
