@@Ravenscroft82 Couldn’t agree more. There was no need to have Mike run off to a commune with one of his students. All they had to say was that Mike and Gloria continued to drift apart (they were actually separated in that Christmas episode) and decided to go their separate ways. It wasn’t necessary to destroy the Mike character in order to make Gloria single for her own show.

@justmeiniowa Год назад

Rather than her own show, They should have had Gloria and Joey move in with Archie, possibly all move to a bigger house. That would have given Archie Bunker's Place the boost it needed and would have been far better than the show Gloria that only lasted a few episodes anyway.

I would have much preferred that Mike was killed trying to help someone or was tragically murdered by trying to reason with a criminal -- than turning him into a cheating, overbearing, deadbeat forever. It would have made for better storytelling with the context of the characters they spent years developing. Both Archie and Gloria dealing with loss in their own ways. The respect that Archie would have developed for the man he called Meathead. It would have been much more depressing, but it would have served the characters and the show better.

@tammylewis2408 Год назад

A similar stunt was pulled on One Day at a Time when MacKenzie Phillips was fired from the show a second time after relapsing; the show wrote her out when her Julie character left her husband Max and infant daughter Annie which, looking back, made Julie a deadbeat mother which did not sit well with fans of the show. The writers could have written a better scenario should MacKenzie decided to return or had her killed off in an accident if she didn't want to return. But the show would end at the end of that season. Around the time Gloria returned to NYC, Rob Reiner declined to return because he was filming/directing the movie "This is Spinal Tap" which was released in 1984.

Everyone. Notice the lighting. On all in the family the house was always brightly lit. The lighting in this scene is dark. Somber. Sobering. Almost cold.

Edith dead. Archie has come full circle and is accepting truths he previously denied earlier in life. That's life an ultimately Archie became what he was always meant to become.

The producers said they could return if the spinoff didn't last, but then kept the show on life support just long enough to renege. We then had to suffer years of Mr. Furley.

The marriage was over long before they moved to California i mean when they said when they tired to rekindle their marriage that all they had in common was Joey. And then when hey moved to California when Edith and Archie went or their for Xmas. They found out. Gloria had an affair. So why blame mike Archie when he found it was Gloria. Who broke her marriage vows even hit her and also think it’s ironic that Jenny and lineal got divorced edit Archie Louise and George and Tom and Helen were the only ones to never divorce

It's sad what became of the family after All In The Family ended. Edith's death....Mike and Gloria not together anymore...They should have ended Archie Bunker's Place with Gloria and Joey coming home and Mike coming back and them getting back together.

This AFTER Edith, Archie and Stephanie went to California for Christmas, found out Gloria and Mike were seperated due to her having an affair

@devontehuntley6274 Год назад

Given they killed off Edith, it made no sense for them to give Sally Struthers her own show unless she and Carroll O’Connell had some strife going on. I always wondered why she didn't just remain on this show. Gloria could have definitely filled in the void being the woman and mother of the house and foil for Archie. We also could have had a brother and sister sort of dynamic with Joey and Stephanie. Considering both Gloria and this show got cancelled at the same time, I wonder had this one continued would they have had Gloria and Joey relocate with Archie for good. But if you ask me, they should have remained on this show.

@entertainmentlife430 Год назад

I'm sorry but this is silly. Mike leaving is perfectly justified since Gloria chested on him before this. In fact I think because of that they were already divorced so what does it matter if he leaves to be with someone else?

@MichaelWilson-nc9ws Год назад

This was honestly the most off character thing that could have happened with Mike. He would never have left his family like that. If his character had to go they should have just killed him off like they did Edith that would have been more believable

@jonnaking3054 9 месяцев назад

Having 2 of the main characters killed off might have been too much. Honestly I could see Mike and Gloria splitting up even on AITF. Mike always seem to feel superior to Gloria and could say some really nasty things to her insulting her intelligence when they would fight. Even calling her "stupid"

@JaDav40 8 месяцев назад

Yep...early Mike might have done something this. but not the Mike we saw him evolve into. They did the character dirty to set up a mediocre show that they lost control of, which then became downright lousy. Trying to blame it on Ronald Reagan only made it worse.
