After many appearances as a baby on ''All in the Family'' until Reiner and Struthers left the series in 1978 , the Joey Stivic character next appeared on the ''All in the Family'' Spin-off series (some call it a continuation of the original) '' Archie Bunker's Place '' in a guest appearance in November 1979 . In this instance, the character was played by child actor Dick Billingsley and was approximately pre-school age. Joey Stivic was a regular character on the ''All in the Family'' spin-off series '' Gloria '' in 1982 and 1983 . On this series, in which the now-divorced Gloria Stivic character had moved to Upstate New York in order to work as an assistant Veterinarian , the part of Joey Stivic was played by ten-year-old actor Christian Jacobs . After ''Gloria'' was canceled in 1983, Joey Stivic disappeared from prime time television for 11 years, until the character made one last appearance on '' 704 Hauser '', a short-lived 1994 series about a black family who had moved into the old Bunker home, years after Bunker had sold it. In this appearance, the Joey Stivic character was played by Casey Siemaszko , an actor born in 1961 (14 years before Joey Stivic's fictional birth). Such was the popularity of ''All in the Family'' in the mid-1970s that in 1976 the Ideal Toy Company released a 14-inch "Joey Stivic doll" (called "Archie Bunker's Grandson") which was billed as the "first anatomically correct male doll." The doll inspired mild controversy at the time, and is a collectors' item today. {Link without Title} EXTERNAL LINKS |
