1. The out of shape incompetent husband
2. The hot wife
See: Everybody Loves Raymond, the Honeymooners, According To Jim, etc.

i totally agree with you
some more examples:
King of queens
George lopez
i dont get how the fat slob like jim or weak shlub like raymond would end up with an attractive, smart and hardworking wife who ends up having to right everything
thats supposed to be comedy?
well it kind of is in a way isnt it? lol cuz it wont ever happen in REAL life
I guess
The war at home, is more beleivable and grounded for life
cuz the husbands and wives are pretty similar to eachother and the kids are out of control lolz
Family guy
(i know its a cartoon and theyre taking the piss of the family sitcoms but its irritating)

Yes and I hate it.
Even though it wasn't a husband-wife formula, but The Drew Carey Show did this too.

Ever notice the trend of the blue collar, working class husband portrayed often as the "buffoon"? It's interesting stuff...

Yes. And you'll see older-husband / younger-wife, but rarely younger-husband / older-wife. I suspect it's because the formulas they use consistently get better ratings than doing things the opposite way.

The sitcom is imitating real life. :)
