WOW, what a great idea. Time to turn the tables on those sitcoms of yesteryear where the lead character is a "lovable" manchild who married above his weight and the only way the wife gets back at him is with wisecracks.
What would it have been like had Alice Kramden, for example, started contemplating killing Ralph and beginning a new, better life? Simply genius as is the switch between the multi camera with laugh track when she's with Kevin to the single camera shots when she's taking the lead in her own life.
Annie Murphy is so talented and charismatic; this is the perfect vehicle for her. Her screen presence is so powerful. It's just a pity that some viewers apparently don't know what's going on here: the satire of the sitcom wife and the harsh realities and drama of the effect that such a life, if real, would have on the psyche of that person. Absolutely brilliant. Hope this lasts.
