Below, catch the exciting teasers beginning with The Goldbergs which teases a Pretty in Pink prom for Adam (Sean Giambrone) and Brea (Sadie Stanley) as Murray (Jeff Garlin) makes an inaccurate reference to ’80s teen star Molly Ringwald.
As for Schooled, Lainey (Michalka) has a Cher-like realization in the show’s Clueless-themed finale as her feelings for C.B. (Brett Dier) can’t be contained any longer.
And in the American Housewife episode aptly title “Prom,” Katie’s (Katy Mixon) kids want to throw a “Crom” and only tuning in will explain the meaning behind the term.
