What's with all the bitchy sitcom wives / idiot husbands?

[chicken10der]

The only sitcom I've been able to watch since the end of Seinfeld has been Arrested Development, and of course that got canned.

I have zero interest in ever watching an episode of: Raymond, King of Queens, Yes Dear, etc. etc.

Here's a recap of last week's episodes of those shows if you missed them-

Wife: "Husband, you are stupid. I refuse to pleasure you sexually now."
Husband: "I apologize for being so hopelessly retarded, even though the whole mess was a misunderstanding on your part."
Wife: "Well, I guess I'll put up with your dumb ass then. You're extremely lucky that you have me for a wife because I am so much better than you."
