Check Out MeTV’s Tribute to Rob Reiner and ‘All in the Family’

MeTV pays tribute to legendary actor and director Rob Reiner, who died on December 14, 2025, at age 78, with a marathon of All in the Family episodes focused on his character, Mike “Meathead” Stivic, on Sunday, December 21, beginning at 6pm EST.

Reiner won an Emmy for his work on the show, playing the liberal husband of Sally Struthers‘ Gloria — who often found himself at odds with the conservative and infamously prickly Archie Bunker — on the show’s first eight seasons. Reiner, who had gotten his start writing on variety shows like The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, also wrote several episodes of the series. He left the show in 1978 to focus on working behind the camera, though he did drop by one 1979 episode of the spinoff show Archie Bunker’s Place.
