10. Michael Stivic was a character from "All in the Family" who was frequently referred to as "Meathead". Of course, he was not the only character named "Meathead" on television. In fact, there was also a mangy alley cat named Meathead on which of these cartoons?

Answer: Tom and Jerry

Meathead is an alley cat who has occasionally been Tom's nemesis; one instance is "Sufferin' Cats!" from 1943 (also his first appearance). He has appeared in several other "Tom and Jerry" cartoons since then. He is sometimes confused with the cat named Lightning, but let's put this to rest now.

They are not the same cat. In fact, there are a few cartoons featuring BOTH of these characters side-by-side.
