I think Mike without his mustache was strange looking-LOL He only appeared once without the Mustache which was in 1979

No offense, to Rob, but his head kind of looks way big w/o the mustache. I like him better with it.

Wait, I thought he had the mustache then. I remember him not having it when he broke Archie's chair.

151. Archie's Chair
gs: Michael Pataki () Allan Rich () Doug Robinson () Colin Hamilton () Tyler McVey ()

Mike accidentally breaks Archie's beloved chair, and decides to have it fixed without his knowledge of what happened. The repair shop accidentally sells the chair to an art museum, leaving Mike with a lot of worry and explaining to do when Archie gets home. Archie indeed hits the roof when he sees his chair gone, and a frantic search begins for the chair.


b: 15-Jan-1977 w: Phil Doran and Douglas Arango d: Paul Bogart

I don't recall seeing that episode. Bu he could have been without the mustache in that episode. I just don't remember seeing him without it before I saw Bunkers Go West


BTW, i recorded that two part episode Bunkers Go West the other night and quickly recorded over it because it was a boring two-parter

I think he went 2 or 3 eps w/o the mustache. I def. remember he didn't have one in the chair ep though.

Bunkers Go West is so sad to me. I start bawling right when Archie and Meathead is talking towards the end.

NO Jenny-LOL, Bunkers Go West is not when Archie and Mike are talking toward the end, It's the episode when Edith, Archie and Stephanie go to California to visit Mike and Gloria for Christmas. And i remember Edith making a statement to ARchie about Mike's Mustache, She said How do you like Mike without his mustache? And also Archie askes Mike why he shaved it off and said grow it back. So That's why I thought that was the only episode Mike appeared without a mustache.

Good Night Nurse, I have no idea why I thought you said Stivics Go West.

with, he just doesnt look right without it.

I like him with the mustache. I also find he looks wierd without it. Mustache all the way! :D

Mike did not have his mustache in his two return appearances "California, Here We Are" and "Thanksgiving Reunion" (on "Archie Bunker's Place"). He also shaved it off early in the 7th season and was without it for a few episodes. There's an episode or two where you can see that he's growing it back. And there's one point in those 7th season episodes, right before he started appearing without it, that Rob Reiner is almost certainly wearing a fake mustache; if you take a good look at him you can tell. This happened at the same time when Mike cut his hair very short (he grew it a little longer for his final season). My guess is that he shaved it off and cut his hair for another role and they stuck a fake mustache on him for a while so he would look more like Mike. The next time N@N gets to those episodes in the rerun rotation, take a look and see what you think.

With the mustache!
