Fred and Wilma, Barney and Betty, now the characters on Family Guy... Let's not forget the Simpsons.To some extent, even Cosby was guilty of it-that wife wasn't even old enough to have the kids portrayed on that show and work her way through lawschool, but that was the premise.
The men are out of shape dolts getting into scrapes that the wives have to suffer through and/or bail them out of. It makes for good comedy most times, even if the basic premise is one note.
I do think it'd be nice if it was a 'plain' wife with a knock-out of a husband, but knowing how things usually turn, he'd still be a dolt.....
