Michael Casimir "Mike" Stivic on the CBS-TV series All in the Family was the live-in son-in-law of the series' lead character Archie Bunker, who frequently called him "Meathead". Michael was the husband of Archie's daughter Gloria (played by Sally Struthers). The role of Mike Stivic was played throughout the series by Rob Reiner (son of comedian Ca...
The character of Michael Stivic is an Americanized version of the British original: Til Death Us Do Part's Mike Rawlins, the Trotskyist "Randy Scouse Git" who arouses the passionate ire of his arch-conservative father-in-law Alf Garnett. For the American version of this character, the Trotskyist angle was drastically softened; Michael Stivic is a social liberal and a leftist, but not an adherent of any form of communism.
Michael is presented as a representative of the counterculture of the 1960s (reflecting current events during the period in which the show was broadcast). There is no suggestion, however of the drug use or "free love" of that subculture (in fact, his espoused commitment to feminism is not thoroughgoing), and Michael is a dedicated academic.
Michael Stivic is a Polish-American from Chicago. He was orphaned at a young age, with his parents having been killed in a car crash, and was raised by his uncle Casimir Stivic, an ex-Marine lieutenant turned florist. He also has an uncle Alex.
When All in the Family begins, Michael is married to Gloria, and shares a bedroom with her in the home of her parents, whom he addresses as "Ma" and "Archie" (or "Arch"). His first meeting with Archie (seen in a flashback) shows him as a bearded hippie with a tie-dyed shirt. However, his wardrobe throughout most of the series is much more subdued; most often he wears a denim shirt, jeans, and boots. He shaves his beard for his wedding with Gloria, but keeps his mustache and wears his hair well below the collar. (As Reiner was losing his hair very rapidly early on in the series, he began wearing a toupee when playing his character.) The exact year of the Stivics' marriage is somewhat ambiguous. A 1972 episode centers on Mike and Gloria's second wedding anniversary; meaning they would have been married in 1970 while in the 1978 episode "The Stivics Go West" Mike and Gloria are coming up on their ninth anniversary meaning they would have been married in 1969.
Exacerbating the conflicts between college student Michael and his father-in-law Archie Bunker, is the fact that in the early years of the television series, these two characters live under the same roof. This proximity means that the tensions between these seemingly diametrically opposed people result in endless arguments over the simplest of topics, even the proper order in which to put on socks and shoes. Michael contributes to this with an opinionated and insulting side of his own. Michael's status as a not-entirely-welcome guest in Archie's home, and his appetite for food purchased by Archie's working-class income, contribute to the conflict between the characters. Michael is a determined agnostic, in contrast to his mother-in-law's quiet Christian church attendance and his non-practicing but nonetheless staunchly Christian father-in-law.
Although taken by surprise, Michael is excited to learn that Gloria is pregnant in 1971, though the pregnancy ends in a miscarriage. Gloria becomes pregnant again in 1975 and their baby Joseph "Joey" Stivic is born in December of that year. By this time, Michael has completed his college studies, has taken a teaching job, and he and Gloria move out of the Bunker house, and into the former house of George and Louise Jefferson, next door. After this, tensions between Archie and Michael cool, but only somewhat.
