what other sitcoms had a fat and dumpy husband and a fat and dumpy wife as opposed to fat and dumpy husband and skinny and attractive wife, as most sitcoms are.

Good Times mom was kinda fat.
What's Happening mom, but the dad wasn't really around in that show.

He actually scared me when I was a little kid because I was always nervous that he was going to blow up at J.J. at any moment. In real life, John Amos was 19 years younger than Esther Rolle and only 8 years older than Jimmy Walker!!!

Neither were fat or dumpy, but Home Improvement had a pretty reasonable pairing. Tim and Jill looked about average.

Not saying she didn't have some charm to her, she just wasn't unrealistic. When I think sitcom milf, I think I'm more partial to Claudia from Grounded for Life. I think in part because she reminds me of Sunny.

Fresh Prince of Bel Air? The first mom was skinny I guess, but the second mom was a bigger older black woman. And Carl and Harriete Winslow were pretty normal and/or fat and ugly.

They weren't all fat but most of the parents in 80's sitcoms looked like normal couples. Michael and Elaine Keaton, Jason and Carol Seaver and Cliff and Clare Huxtabell all looked like average or slightly above average middle to upper middle class parents in their mid 40's.

Family Matters seemed reasonable. I blame The Simpsons or The King of Queens for the trend of hot wifes and fat husbands.
You know, it feels like its been a long time since we've had a dumpy housewife on TV. I get the feeling that trend is going to last a while.

I don't think so. Jill Taylor was a pretty sexy MILF for a sitcom mom. Not saying she didn't have some charm to her, she just wasn't unrealistic. When I think sitcom milf, I think I'm more partial to Claudia from Grounded for Life. I think in part because she reminds me of Sunny. Yeah, Claudia is my personal pick. Well, probably tied with Joy from My Name is Earl. Oh, and sorta weird but the actress who played Claudia was only 12 years older than the actress playing her daughter.

The actress who played the daughter guest starred on an episode of NCIS as a forensic tech in a small town. I was surprised to see her, and she looks pretty good.
