SCHOOLED EXECUTIVE PRODUCER ADAM F. GOLDBERG SHARES SCREEN PROPS IN TV TRIBUTE

In an homage to 1990s holiday movie Jingle All The Way, Adam F. Goldberg, executive producer of the ABC-TV hit comedy Schooled features that eternal search for the ultimate holiday gift in this week’s episode, airing on Wednesday, December 11 at 8:30 p.m.

“Over time, there were many toys that people camped out for, waiting in long lines, and did the craziest things to obtain for that special someone on their holiday shopping list,” said Goldberg. “Whether it was a Cabbage Patch Doll, a Tickle Me Elmo, or a Beanie Baby, we recreated the scene from Jingle All the Way where they attempt to find a Turbo Man action figure.”

In this week’s episode CB (Brett Dier) seeks to obtain a Beanie Baby to win the affection of Lainey Lewis (AJ Michalka). During his search he runs into Coach Mellor (Bryan Callen) who scores the Turbo Man toy from the Jingle All the Way movie.

“For 90s fanatics like me, Jingle All The Way has become regarded as a cult Christmas movie,” said Goldberg. “It has so many elements that makes it feel like a 90’s time machine – Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime, Sinbad, Phil Hartman, endless Home Alone slapstick jokes that defy physics and of course a 90s superhero named Turbo Man.”

“The fact that Turbo Man was panned makes it now a collector’s item,” added Goldberg. “I’m actually one of the biggest Turbo Man collectors in the country, I even own screen used props that I was able to feature on the episode.”

Created by Adam F. Goldberg and Marc Firek, the series is from Sony Pictures Television and ABC Studios. ABC Studios is a part of Disney Television Studios, a collection of studios comprised of 20th Century FOXTelevision, ABC Studios and FOX 21 Television Studios. Adam F. Goldberg and Doug Robinson are executive producers.
