Yeah, I know. Guess I should have tagged it as “Old”.

I think he left in 2022, though. Like halfway through the season or some shit…

But yeah, 10 seasons, though it stops being actually watchable without becoming pure cringe around… Season 6, or 7. After that it… Never recovered.

Should really have ended when the grandfather died (IRL, George Segal of course), but anyway…

But Wendi McLendon-Covey, who’s anchored the long-running ABC sitcom for 10 seasons, is more than happy to be rid of her costar Jeff Garlin—who left the show in 2021 after a series of HR investigations.

Garlin played Murray Goldberg, husband of McLendon-Covey’s Beverly and the patriarch of the Goldberg clan, before leaving the show mid-season in December of 2021.

Doesn't really matter. It's just helpful to know sometimes when reading an article that isn't contemporary.

Nice to see you back on KIA2.
