I dunno... kinda seems like you're off an a tangent there, which is a very interesting tangent IMO, but still not really what I was trying to focus in on.

I'm not gonna state my theme point ad nauseam, but I suspect there are some very significant reasons why shows like The Honeymooners were rare in terms of the skewed husband-wife dynamic. Patriarchy probably being first. Patriarch and patriarchical tradition across pop media.

That is the real point I was trying to get at, explaining why it took so very long for a show like The Simpsons to finally break through.
