* GenreTurningPoint: Considering that it was one of the earliest television series at all, let alone a popular and successful one, it [[UrExample paved the way]] for nearly every DomCom that would run with everything that made the show unique, from the leads being a [[BumblingDad bumbling husband]] and [[WomenAreWiser snarky wife]], to the [[DropInCharacter wacky neighbor]] to [[ContrivedCoincidence a perfectly-timed misunderstanding which would lead to 30 minutes of hijinks]], et al, to the point that it's almost impossible for newcomers to find anything fresh about them. The worst offender was easily ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'', literally just [[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace an all-caveman remake]] which is still more popular today than this show.

** The show is considered groundbreaking for being one of the first instances of film or television to portray marriage in a negative way (UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode strictly forbid it at the time). Nowadays, it's hard to imagine any sitcom where the married leads aren't in a love/hate relationship.
