AS a wee lad growing up in an Italian- American family in Boonton, NJ, I always enjoyed watching “The Goldbergs,” a sitcom about a Jewish-American family in The Bronx.

For some strange reason, one particular scene (involving Uncle David pouring three glasses of milk) has stuck in my mind all these years.

I imagine I’m not the only person who remembers that moment, because it’s found in “Yoo-hoo, Mrs. Goldberg,” Aviva Kempner’s fawning and formulaic documentary about Gertrude Berg. The now-forgotten superstar wrote, produced and appeared in the enormously popular show, which began on radio in 1929 and ran on TV from 1949 to 1955.

“Yoo-hoo, Mrs. Goldberg” follows Berg’s rise and fall, mixing talking heads with family photos, vintage newsreels and scenes from her show, the demise of which had a lot to do with Joe McCarthy’s Communist witch hunt. (Harassed by the commie-hunters, Berg’s co-star Philip Loeb quit the show and later killed himself.)

Running time: 90 minutes. Not rated (no problems). At the Lincoln Plaza and the Quad.— Musetto
