Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Before "The Cosby Show," "Good Times," or even "I Love Lucy," there was "The Goldbergs." From 1929 until 1955, it was one of the most popular shows on radio and television. Aviva Kempner, director of the documentary "Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg," looks at the show's star, Gertrude Berg, the American Jewish heroine who emerged during the most difficult years for American Jews. She's joined by Adam Berg, Gertrude Berg's grandson.

"Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg" is playing in New York at Lincoln Plaza Cinemas and the Quad Cinema.
