Did the Gloria character remind anyone else of a teenager? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I thought the Gloria character was supposed to be a grown women but she ALWAYS reminded me of a teenager by the way she whined, moaned, and cried. Her character not mature at all. Actually her character was immature the entire time she was on All in The Family. I can say she was mature on her spinoff-"Gloria" but never on All in The Family

If you think about it though most all tv shows have a character or two who are in there 20's, or 30's, or above who are incredibly immature. I mean Lucille Ball's character was in her 30's and she could be pretty immature. I think what annoyed me most about Gloria was her cry. Everytime she does that annoying cry I reach up for my ears.

I think they were trying to rip off Lucy's famous wail whenever Gloria cried. People thought Lucy wailing was pretty funny, so I guess that's why they kind of did that with the Gloria character.

I guess why they wrote the Gloria character to be immature at times was to emphasize that she is still Archie's 'Little Girl' She did have her mature moments on AITF. It's just kind of hard to notice because the immature moments far outrank the serious/mature moments.

Gloria had her moments and so did Mike. I don't know which one was worse.

Mike did have his moments. I can see why Archie called him a meathead.

I remember Mike having moments when he lost his temper but not moments when he was immature

I agree with that! Also, any woman that calls her father "daddy" into her 20's......

Losing your temper, and overreacting, as Mike often did, is immature in itself.

Adults lose their temper also. Mike always reminded me of a grown man but Gloria never reminded me of a grown woman.

Of the two, he was the more mature person, but Mike had his immature moments. Of course, trying to get your point across to a man like Archie would make most of us lose our temper.

Yep, I agree with everything you said Janice.

Sometimes Gloria acted even more immautre then a teen-ager. When she got a pink slip from Kressler's she gave it the raspberry. Although as it turned out Gloria had the right to be annoyed at Kressler's because the let her go, due to her pregnancy. Still, Gloria did the raspberry almost as much as Archie did. Now would you call sone doing the raspberry mature?
