I think All In The Family, The Honeymooners and The Life of Riley are alike, in a sense.
What do you think?

You are absolutely correct. The classic "dumb" husband/father has also been
depicted in such prime-time animated series as THE FLINTSTONES and THE
SIMPSONS. It's almost a staple of television. To be fair, though, so is the
somewhat "scatter-brained" housewife (Lucy Ricardo of I LOVE LUCY, Joan
Davis as Joan Stephens on I MARRIED JOAN, etc.). I have to admit that I think
the stupid husbands seem to outnumber the wacky housewives (at least on
television). I guess the first one of the latter was radio's Gracie Allen (of
THE GEORGE BURNS & GRACIE ALLEN SHOW). As you probably know, while
William Bendix was the original Riley on radio, Jackie Gleason also played
Chester Riley on TV's first version of THE LIFE OF RILEY (but it didn't last long
and, when RILEY returned, he was again played by the inimitable William Bendix).
