I watched Goldbergs last night. It was a touching show since they paid homage to George Segal.."Pops" who passed away a few weeks ago and it was his last show.
They had a little montage to A-ha with the video and the new slower unplugged version song of Take on Me at the end.
From what I remember a few years ago...Adam Goldberg the shows creator and producer wanted to do a show about Duran Duran..and band and mgmt refused to, so they would not be categorized as just an "80's band!"
I mean if it wasn't for the 80's we would never have had Duran Duran!
Accept your roots and history guys!
The publicity for them would have been great! I don't get why they continue to blow these things?
Time for new management!!!!

I think for a while they needed to reinvent themselves as not just an 80s band, but nowadays I don't see what harm it can do.

If anything, DD are the most likely to be still connected to the eighties than any other artist who are still around from that era. That’s their legacy and what put them where they are now. Just embrace it!

There were multiple appearances of Duran T-shirts in the show, but I never heard their music played. It was definitely a missed opportunity, especially in the show’s heyday.

Schooled which was a spinoff of Goldberg's set in the 90's did have Ordinary World in one episode. They were going to do a whole show on Duran Duran. Erica was supposed to have a huge crush on Simon and they were going to do multiple songs with a possible JT appearance, but I heard Duran's management put a stop to it! Makes no sense..would have been great publicity! What about other '80s icons, have there been more who have reached out who want to participate? Scott Baio reached out, and his poster is now on the wall in Erica's (Hayley Orrantia) room. That's been the coolest part: people that I grew up on are watching the show and talking to me about episodes and saying, "Hey, can you use my stuff?" The Fat Boys — I grew up on their music and have so many videos of me with pillows stuffed in my shirt pretending to be them — they message me all the time about episodes. Tiffany reached out and [joked] about doing an episode where they all go to the mall. It's really cool to have that dialogue with these people online that I admire. Once they give me that approval to sign off, there is always an episode that I could do because I love these people and I have something to say about them. Who's your big Everest who is still saying no? Madonna. I did a whole episode where Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey) dresses like Madonna. First, it was impossible to get a yes. Once we got a yes, the price was astronomically prohibitive. It's a bummer. I ended up using El DeBarge and doing a joke that Beverly thought El DeBarge was Madonna. One of my big dreams is the Beastie Boys — I want to do a Beastie Boys episode and do a whole tribute to their first album, which had a huge impact on me as a kid — so it's beyond getting a song. I want to explore what it was like being a Beastie Boys fan in the '80s as a kid. Then the other dream is Michael Jackson. This year I wanted to do a big Halloween "Thriller" episode. Not only is the song impossible to get, but you have to also pay $100,000 for the choreography. For the choreography?! Yes, for the choreography! We broke out a whole "Thriller" episode — which would be amazing — but it's so heartbreaking. Then you get into the nuts and bolts and you can't do it unless the Michael Jackson Estate says yes, which I don't think is possible, and unless the choreographer says we can use the moves for free, which I think is impossible. Hopefully if this is printed, they can read it and come back to us! I run into that every week: There's something that I'm dying to do, but with having a TV show and doing so many episodes, there's only so much budgeted and so much time to get it done. What about Duran Duran, they were another big artist in the '80s who really blew up thanks in part to MTV.
Duran Duran I think I could certainly get. I've slowly been building in this season that Erica is love with [lead singer] Simon LeBon, which she talks about in the episode called "I Drank the Mold." I'll keep building her love of Simon in to next season, and we want to do an episode about that infatuation (laughs).Beyond the Princess Bride-inspired episode that's coming, what other properties are on the horizon? So we have a big Tiffany episode coming up. We're doing an episode where Erica wants to be the next Tiffany and Tiffany has fully blessed it. The episode came from her tweeting at me that she was game to just be on the show in any way. The writers started to talk about what if Erica wants to be a musician when Tiffany comes to town. How does that work? It's all about Beverly becoming a momager, of course. Tiffany is not appearing in the episode, though. Hayley does get to sing, and it's about what happens when your kids come to you with a dream that's scary. It stems from telling my parents that I wanted to be a writer when everyone else in my family are doctors.

It isn't hurting a-ha any. They have double the monthly listeners on Spotify as DD and that's on the strength of just one song that is pushing 1 billion streams. I don't think it would hurt DD financially to embrace their most commercially successful decade but if they care more about legacy than money then I get it...

Very silly on Katy's part to say something like that and if that was the reason they weren't included...HORRIBLE!!!!

I mentioned this a few years ago because I'm very involved with the Goldbergs fandom (yes there is a fandom, we are called Goldnerds) and Adam F Goldberg (who is very involved with the fandom) mentioned trying to get them and was turned down. I never got this because while the show is dropping in the ratings (though the ratings are still decent) when they were asked the show was huge (Nielsen Top 10) and who turns down a very popular show! Nothing wrong with being an "80's" band, especially when one sees all the other people on the show.

Never heard of this show until now. It seems something big in the US?
