Old Schhol TV Vs. New School

So on this weeks project I watched an old program called The Honeymooners that originally aired on October 1, 1955. The reason I chose this was because I actually remember my father watching it as I was growing up. The main characters name is Ralph who also has a kind of goofy neighbor named Ed who lives up stairs from him. Then you have Trixie who is Alice's best friend (Alice being Ralph's wife). This show is really about marital combat, which is based on Ralph's and Alice's arguments. Ralph would say his famous line "One of these days pow, right to the kisser" and then the show would always end with Alice saying "Baby, you're the greatest".
The show, although ground breaking for it's time, resembles a lot of sitcoms on TV now , for instance, King of Queens, Roseanne, Still Standing, Reba. All these shows are based upon arguments with the family especially being the husband and wife or ex-husband and wife. I also think that all these shows are based on topics that would happen in real life.
