In all reality , by the time the 80’s came Rob Reiner was busy making lots of movies and creating Castle Rock Entertainment. No way he was going to be on “Archie Bunkers Place “ or “Gloria” , so they wrote him off via divorce. Better than having his character die off , I guess.

It is amazing how Glorias character changed over time. She grew up.

You got that right! "All in The Family" was and still is the King of Sitcoms. There is a whole generation of people who have never seen any of the '70 Sitcoms.

So the check has somewhere to go. There is nothing wrong with the families getting the money.

The problem with this show is that it was built on a faulty premise. There’s no way Mike would have abandoned his family that way. I can see Gloria and Mike grow apart and divorce, but I don’t think Mike would have run off the a commune and I don’t think Gloria would have moved her child 3000 miles from his father. And don’t get me started on the whole veterinarian premise. The writing stunk too.

This scene clearly illustrates why the series stank and didn't last long, Sally Struthers was fantastic in her supporting role on ":All In The Family," however, that doesn't automatically translate being able to "star" in your own spinoff example: "The Ropers." Struthers just wasn't strong enough to carry the show on her own, it could have had a chance with co-starring Rob Reiner but he likely declined if he had been offered, a wise decision. Not exactly clear what role the "great" Norman Lear had, but even tv royalty can have a turkey now and then.

Yes, a lot of supporting actors and actresses who were brilliant in their roles simply could not carry their own shows. Probably because supporting characters can get away with being ditsy and zany all the time, but when they become lead characters, they have to turn serious, and so their entire purpose is gone.

It wasn't very good

Life happens, and sadly Archie was right about Mike. I don't think either of them would have gotten married had it been for Archie though. Even in my family we had an example of this. My Aunt married a guy like Mike (he even was Polish) family despised him and she probably wouldn't have married him had things took their course (this was back in the 70's). However she did, still is married to him and is still miserable (mom even suspects the reason the aunt hits the vodka bottle regularly is because of him). My mother married a total hick who had a violent and controlling demeanor. She managed to get divorced and has made her life go on. Sometimes people act rationally (like Gloria) and sometimes they don't (like Mike). People get afraid, they question things and they seek safety and security where they think they won't have to worry. Some people eventually change their minds, others accept the consequences thinking that's what they deserve.

That's how it is everyday

This show tackled the topic of divorce which was on the rise. Women are not slaves. They could choose. Divorce isn't easy.

The way they should have ended this was Mike coming back and he and Gloria getting back together. Archie and Stephanie would guest star.
