Gloria was a spinoff television situation comedy that lasted one season on CBS, from September 1982 to September 1983. It starred Sally Struthers, reprising her role as Gloria Stivic, the daughter of Archie Bunker on the hugely successful 1970s sitcom All in the Family.

The setup of the show was that Gloria had been left at loose ends after her husband, Michael Stivic (who did not appear in the new series), left her and moved away to a commune. Gloria, to be closer to her father, decided to move with her young son, Joey (played by Christian Jacobs ), and pick up the pieces of her life as an assistant to two veterinarians in Fox Ridge, New York . The veterinarians were played by Burgess Meredith and Jo De Winter ; the character played by Meredith was also, conveniently, Gloria's landlord. Gloria Stivic as a plucky assistant veterinarian apparently did not catch on with viewers, however, and the show was not renewed at the end of its first season.
