1. Ralph and Alice, ‘The Honeymooners’

Watching Audrey Meadows and Jackie Gleason take on a disgruntled blue collar marriage was not only scathingly funny when it premiered in 1955, it was also borderline revolutionary comedy. All that praise aside, if you actually lived next to The Honeymooners, you’d pray for their imminent divorce. Not only was the couple constantly bickering in their dilapidated kitchen, but Gleason routinely threatened his wife with domestic violence. Add to that the fact that Alice Kramden was way too good for Ralph and you’ve got a disaster of a couple just barely scraping by.
