Barry's mother, Beverly

Barry Goldberg's mother, Beverly, is a central character in the show 'The Goldbergs'. She is the wife of Murray Goldberg and mother to Erica, Barry, and Adam Goldberg. She is portrayed by Wendi McLendon-Covey.

Beverly is an overprotective and often embarrassing "smother" to her children. She is very intelligent and could have pursued a career in law, but instead chose to be a mother, a stay-at-home mother for the first three seasons of the show. In seasons 4-6, she works as a substitute teacher at William Penn Academy, where her children attend school.

Beverly is very involved in her children's lives and is known for going to great lengths to get them what they want. She is overbearing and strict, and is often heard saying her catchphrase, "I have failed as a mother!" She is particularly fond of her youngest son, Adam, but she deeply loves all her children and frequently gives them "snuggies".

Beverly has many hobbies, including cooking, knitting, jazzercise, power walking, and occasionally dancing. She is also known for her ability to break up couples and get people together, as seen in the seventh season's episode "Preventa Mode".

In the show, Beverly supports Barry's rap aspirations. She is likely the reason Barry got his 'Big Tasty' goldbergs t-shirt, as she supports his wannabe '80s rap career.
