A Special Delivery For Mike Stivic (ft. Rob Reiner) | All In The Family

[@WolfAlpha64-MC-ts2kh]

The look on Archie’s face when Mike says “that’s Maryln Sanders” is priceless.

[@StealthMode3924]

Oh, how dare he not know his son existed. I know, it turns out Danny isn’t Mike’s son, but still, finding out you had a son you didn’t know existed isn’t something they can be angry at him about.

If he really WAS Mike's son, the whole family would have been right to be furious with Mike and even want Mike to leave the family.

[@carolcole570]

I disagree with you. Totally disagree with you, Ester !

[@StealthMode3924]

So he’s the villain if he didn’t know his son EXISTED? Very flawed logic on your part. If Mike knew he had a son but abandoned him then THAT would be a valid reason, but that’s not the case.

Marcia Rodd played three different roles in this series. In addition to Mike's ex-girl friend, she portrayed Maude's daughter Carol (to be replaced by Adrienne Barbeau in the Maude series), and much later on in Archie Bunker's Place, a real estate lady who offers to sell Archie's house shortly after the death of Edith.

[@tomc2376]

Lorraine Anderson on MASH !

[@jaredjlinden]

Marcia Rodd also played Ann Romano’s best friend in the unaired pilot of One Day at a Time. As with Maude, Rodd was dropped when the show went to series. But the Norman Lear casting people sure liked her.

[@mjproebstle]

I caught the different Maude daughter in the episode where Archie and Edith go to Maude’s for the weekend for the Bridal Shower.

If I remember correctly Mike's old girlfriend was just scared and left him there. The kid wasn't his.

[@yaronsteinbuch3956]

The meathead lucked out!

[@TheTCMfan]

Right kid wasn’t Mike’s but the ex’s girlfriend husbands. The ex girlfriend left him there cause she had a date and the last guy dumped her because she had a child so she hoped this date would be with a good guy who liked kids that she could eventually marry..

[@StealthMode3924]

It was absolutely reckless of her to do that, even if she knew who Mike was.

This personified the event of when Jesus said, "He who be without sin, cast the first stone." There is no person who ever existed that can claim to never have committed an impure thought, word, or deed in his or her lifetime.

I know it ultimately wasn’t Mike’s son, but even if he were, him not knowing he even HAD a son isn’t something to attack him for.

LOL, 2023 mentality applied to a 1970's sitcom. Just in case you weren't sure, this was just a TV show, not reality.

[@stugrant01]

@niklass1641 Decent people would not have talked in front of the child in that way in the 1960's or 70's.

[@msr1116]

This was one of the weirdest episodes of the series and clips from it pop up here on occasion. Under every one of them, the question of what sort of mother would ditch her son at the home of long ago sex partner gets posted. Hard to believe Marilyn had no relatives, friends, neighbors, or coworkers to leave the child with. I still don't know what the writers' were thinking because Marilyn sure as hell didn't explain herself well when she came back. Odd episode.

[@StealthMode3924]

That’s what annoyed me about this episode. They act like Mike knew and abandoned his son when in reality he didn’t even know he existed. I know the boy ultimately wasn’t Mike’s son, but Archie’s attitude about the situation and towards that little boy was atrocious.

[@sxwrtr918]

I sure wouldn't want my partner's kid from a previous relationship/marriage dropped into our lives. Not to mention the ex. Exit time for me. Great episode, though.

[@mrsTraveller64]

@@sxwrtr918 But it is a huge difference if the kid was from before we met and the husband had no idea. I mean, the husband and wife would both start from point zero with him/her!

[@sxwrtr918]

@@mrsTraveller64 I hear what you're saying, but no sale for me/us. We are adamantly child-free for our lives and would not change that. Plus, past entanglements and their consequences (though unbeknownst to the other party) are best left in the past and a current partner/spouse should not be expected to embrace, out of the blue, anything associated with it. Had a friend to whom that happened years ago, nine years into their marriage. He had no idea this kid existed. They already had one kid. Ended up divorced.

[@mrsTraveller64]

@@sxwrtr918 oh,so sad about your friend. Well I guess this is different for different people, I would not care to get involved with a man with kids, he has a past with them that I am not part of, but if an unknown child/teenager suddenly appeared on our doorstep it would be a new chapter for both of us, and I would be okey with that!

So did he turn out to be Mike's son? Does anyone know how this particular saga ended?

[@sheshisdoozie1598]

Not his

[@StealthMode3924]

Gloria tells Mike that if Danny actually is his son, he is THIER responsibility, not just his. Marilyn comes back and reveals that Mike isn’t his father, but that she brought him there to try getting things going with a man she met, she felt Mike and Gloria would be good to him for the time being, because her boyfriends kept jumping ship upon learning she was a single mother, as her ex-husband and the boy’s father abandoned them. Flawed logic, I know, but back in this time mothers needed support with their children.

[@StealthMode3924]

I hated the way Archie talked about that boy, calling him a mistake. Such a horrible thing to say about and to a child.
