    No, you are thinking of Sally Struthers (Gloria). Rob Reiner went on to be a great director, and part-time actor. He survived just fine.

  5. Yes, Sally used to cry a lot on the show but Meathead was always whining,ect at Archie because of Archie's behavior.

    It wasn't whining, it was exasperation. They are both whiny in the regard you mean, heh.

    When Cancel Culture Comes for the Person With the Pitchfork
    The leader of the mob follows the victim to the gallows.
    https://reason.com/2021/03/24/cancel-culture-teen-vogue-new-york-times-podcast/

    The Teen Vogue cancel culture news cycle reached its inevitable denouement earlier this week after social media sleuths discovered that Christine Davitt—a staffer at the publication who was involved in the successful effort to oust incoming editor-in-chief Alexi McCammond due to her decade-old insensitive tweets—had also tweeted bad words a long time ago.

    While McCammond had profusely apologized for offensive and racist remarks she had made about Asians at the age of 17, she was nevertheless forced to resign—something that prompted Davitt to exhale "the deepest sigh I've ever sighed." But now it's Davitt's turn in the hot seat.

    This is utterly unsurprising. Attempted cancelation of the person involved in the initial cancel mob has become a recurring feature of these stories. People who rejoice that their least favorite celebrity, media figure, or children's book author is finally being held accountable for some past wrongdoing are soon forced to remember that they, too, have done and said things they regret.

  9. Unfortunately the "People who live in glass houses should not throw stones" applies perfectly here.

    Davitt probably had it in for Alexi and wanted her out and now got bit in the ass with her own cancel culture..

    I find it amusing and a real lesson in cancelling going too far. When is a past indiscretion a one time event and forgivable.....who knows.
