The Goldbergs (TV Series) The President's Fitness Test (2014) User Reviews

"Let's go, Goldfarb, the President's waiting"

[Mr-Fusion · 8/10 · 22 September 2017]

There was something special about 'The President's Fitness Test'; the writing was spot-on and the moving pieces worked in real harmony. Between Adam's struggles with pull-ups in gym class and Barry's disastrous moves on the foreign exchange student, the laughs just seemed to come from all directions.

Bryan Callen plays one of the more memorable gym teachers, but Barry's easily the MVP.

A really fun and funny episode of the show, with Bev on top form.

Both stories work really well, and although the gym teacher felt like an attempt to copy Ed Cutlip from 'The Wonder Years', this was great stuff.

I do worry they're making Barry a bit too dim at times though.
