From Season 2, Episode 17 'Mike's Mysterious Son': Mike's ex-girlfriend contends that he fathered her 4-year-old son. Mike strongly denies he ever became serious with her, but furious Gloria and irate Archie aren't interested in his side of the story.

About All In The Family:
One of the most acclaimed comedy series of all time, All in the Family with Archie Bunker as the irascible, highly opinionated, working-class family man who viewed the world on his terms and his terms only. When not arguing with his liberal son-in-law, "Meathead," Archie took refuge in his long-suffering wife, Edith, who tries her best to understand Archie's conservative ways and outdated beliefs.

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.

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.

[@mrsTraveller64]

I wouldn't mind at all,if my partner turned out to be the dad of a child/adult who was concieved BEFORE we got together! I'd welcom the child and I'd even find it quite exciting! My biggest worries would be how everybody else would handle it...

[@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.

[@bradhampton6457]

I recall this episode.. Mike couldn’t talk his way outta that one.

[@user-yz9yg4yx1k]

Yeah. But hes not his.

[@georgemurphy2579]

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.

[@StealthMode3924]

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.

[@stevescabin5441]

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.

[@EsterKunin-zs2dw]

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.

[@TSRT1976CANADA]

They are all good actors.

[@stephaniehowell1109]

It would have been nice if someone had thought how scared the child must have been, & comforted him....

[@niklass1641]

Yeah, people didn't spend an inordinate amount of time considering what kids were thinking in the 70s. I can attest as a 70s kid myself, you weren't a socal concern.

[@kilroy2517]

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

[@niklass1641]

Well now, hold on. I never said the kid didn't _deserve_ some attention and it _would_ have been kind of someone to at least concider the kid's feelings in all this. I'm just stating the fact that in those days in America, that's not how people interacted with kids. Sitting him down, stuffing him with peanut butter, and expecting him to sit there silently looking cute while the adults talked about him as if he wasn't in the room is _exactly_ what 1970s families would have considered normal. Kids were almost invisible in those days. It wasn't the best way to be when you actually had a problem, then again it was pretty awesome to have that much freedom.

[@stugrant01]

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

[@dianewalker4633]

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.

[@kd8opi]

Oh my god, the non-stop yelling. I forgot how tedious these Lear shows were.
