Television shows have a habit of pairing up a drop dead gorgeous wife with an inattentive, less attractive husband who usually takes his wife for granted. For some reason the smoking hot wives stay with these guys, mostly because they are funny. This staple of the sitcom has bothered me for years. I am funny, where is my lingerie model wife? These are the top 5 mismatched TV couples. Come on, ladies. You can do better.
5) George Lopez & Angie Lopez – The George Lopez Show
George Lopez is not in the best shape nor is he the most handsome man in the world. Yet he is the most likely match for a hot wife on this list because he is not super fat and he is a fairly normal guy. Unlike most sitcoms, George is not a wacky guy getting into shenanigans, but rather a fairly normal guy putting up with his family’s shenanigans. He was not too busy guzzling beer to pay attention to his kids and he seemed like a nice guy. Angie Lopez (Constance Marie) was still too hot for him though.
4) Homer Simpson & Marge Simpson – The Simpsons
The Simpsons took the idea of a fat childish oaf paired up with a woman out of his league and ran with it. At least it is a little more believable in a cartoon where everything is supposed to be ridiculous. Maybe that is why it is easier to accept the fact that despite Homer’s many shortcomings Marge still loves him. Family Guy has the same sort of relationship with Peter Griffin and Lois Griffin, and the same thing applies to them. Plus Lois is almost as crazy as Peter in her own way.
3) Jim & Cheryl – According to Jim
Jim (Jim Belushi) is not only fat and slovenly, but also extremely selfish. He really just acts like a jerk all the time to create conflict in the show, and somehow he got married to Cheryl (Courtney Thorne-Smith). While Cheryl makes sure the children are cared for, Jim watches sports, drinks beer, and harasses his neighbors. Jim is basically a jerk. Cheryl somehow manages to put up with Jim’s nonsense, but I think she does it for the kids. How she managed to have kids with Jim on 5 separate occasions I will never know.
2) Doug Heffernan & Carrie Heffernan – The King of Queens
Doug Heffernan (Kevin James) has been married to Carrie Heffernan (Leah Remini) for 9 seasons of The King of Queens. That officially makes Carrie the most patient woman in the world. Doug is also immature to ridiculous extent, which gives Carrie a motherly role to go along with putting up with Doug’s fatness. This is a shame because Carrie is one of the hottest TV wives to grace the screen. She cleans up very nice. Where as Doug is only believable as a competition eater.
1) Ralph Kramden & Alice Kramden – The Honeymooners
Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason) was a blob of a man who was always going off on harebrained schemes to get rich quick. Alice Kramden (Audrey Meadows) would try to be reasonable and let Ralph know he was an idiot. It is usually at this point that the show’s catchphrase is said by Ralph: “One of these days… One of these days… POW! Right in the kisser!” Domestic abuse was funnier back in the day. I blame The Honeymooners for the Fat Husband/Hot Wife trend. Luckily Hollywood seems to be shifting over to Awkward Nerd/Hot Girl so I still have a chance!
