  1. The Simpsons antecedent in American television would be William Bendix in "The Life of Riley" 1953-1958". Homer Simpson is a blue collar worker at a Nuclear Plant, Chester A. Riley is a blue collar worker at an Aircraft plant. Both are parodies of dysfunction suburban American family life. The show has even earlier incarnations in radio, then on TV with Jackie Gleason.
