Do you think it could happen?

Do you think that we shall ever see the day where a man, especially a white man, plays a guy with above-average intelligence (outside of work) in a TV comedy? I mean, is it not possible to be smart and funny at home or in social situations? There are some where he is smart, but generally not funny (the straight man - see Dharma & Greg)

Do you think that, in these same comedies that the women (mainly wives) will be in the same league as the schlub hubbies? Do you think that these same women will ever be portrayed as anything more than "I've-had-it-up-to-here-with-this-imbecile!" and ta-tas?

The only one coming to mind right now that was very popular is the Cosby Show...that's kinda sad. I mean:

Everybody Loves Raymond - great show, but hubby is a doofus and wife with nice ta-tas is out of his league and has had it up to here with him.

King of Queens - Bad show, same as ELR, but 10x more

Still Standing - Awful show, the league discrepancy is astronomical, though both husband and wife, while both being major doofuses are raising generally smart kids...

Yes, Dear - Mildly amusing, but generally annoying show. The league thing isn't as bad, and Jean Louise Kelly is the only thing that keeps it tolerable. Did you know she's a graphic designer on the show? But Anthony Clark is a classic case of smart, but not funny.

Joey - doofus

Will & Grace - hmmmm, dunno, a lot of discussion on whether will is actually funny or not...otherwise it may be the exception. (Grace isn't always annoyed with him and doesn't have ta-tas.)

George Lopez - AAAAACK!!!!

According to Jim - the absolute bottom, worse than anything Fox, UPN and WB have ever put on (sitcoms only)...How did this show make it past 2 episodes? How did Courtney Thorne-Smith agree to do this show?

Well, /rant.

Oh, and don't misunderstand, I'm not complaining about the ta-tas, I likey! Just does every guy have to be a dork and every wife have to be über-annoyed with him?
