The Goldbergs was a situation comedy which ran on American radio from 1929 to 1947, and then on television from 1949 to 1956.

"Yoo-hoo! Is anybody?"

---

The program was devised by writer-actress Gertrude Berg in 1928 and sold to the NBC radio network the following year. It was a domestic comedy featuring the home life of a Jewish family in New York City; in addition to writing the scripts and directing each episode, Berg starred as bighearted, lovingly meddlesome matriarch Molly Goldberg. The show began as a portrait of Jewish tenement life before later evoking such growing pains as moving into a more suburban setting and struggling with assimilation while sustaining their roots.

The Goldbergs began as a weekly fifteen-minute program called The Rise of the Goldbergs on November 20, 1929. In 1931, the show became a daily offering; in 1936, it moved to CBS and simplified its name to The Goldbergs. Like other fifteen-minute comedies of the day such as Amos 'n' Andy, Lum and Abner, Easy Aces, Vic and Sade, and Myrt and Marge, The Goldbergs was a serial offering with running storylines. And Berg's usual introduction---in character as Molly, hollering, "Yoo-hoo! Is anybody?"---became an instant catch phrase. (In the 1940s it was followed by future television game host Bud Collyer warbling, "There she is, folks--that's Molly Goldberg, a woman with a place in every heart and a finger in every pie.")
