Rob’s portrayal of Michael Stivic on All in the Family was not an act, it was his true self.............

Archie and Meathead are talking about politics, which is something they discuss a lot on the show, and Meathead says something about how people no longer try to fix things if they are broken.
Archie: “Well, you don’t work. Maybe we should throw you out.”
Recall, at the end of the series ‘M. Stivic’ gets a job at the university (some -ology no doubt), meets some grad student strange and leaves wife Gloria a single mother.
Norman Lear shows were completely pozzed, TV kultursmog has gotten worse ever since this show.
>That’s anti-semitic!
No. Nick Reiner was anti-semitic.

A lot of folks have the (odd) need to be ‘right’ and that everyone has to believe the same as they do.

Works well for directors, I’m sure - but not so much in other areas.

And he got that part because of who his father was. Any meathead could have played that part. Granted he directed some good movies later, but without All In the Family he was a nobody.
