Eh, it doesn’t bother me, but it’s probably because I grew up with it. I’m quite capable of separating that nonsense from the rest of the show, and not being misogynistic toward others (or so my wife says).
On The Honeymooners his catchphrase was “one of these days Alice, bang zoom straight to the moon.” He was going to hit her so hard she flew to the moon. The height of comedy at the time.
Even some not so old. JAG is a show I loved as a kid. I tried to watch it again a couple of years ago and was shocked at how much misogyny was portrayed in it.
Close but it’s because if the husband is an advertiser, then it’s REALLY easy to slip product placements in. It was part of the transition from the actors just blatantly looking at the screen and advertising the product to making it more subtle.

So many of the plots are of the form “housewife disobeys husband” that it’s seriously hard to watch.
Watching old media is painful sometimes because of how much inherent misogyny there is.

But it’s nice to see how much progress we’re making as a society
Like the times the wife has a valid disagreement and the immediate response is for her to “stop being hysterical.”
Or you watch even older films and the response is physical abuse.

I think the characters are in those careers commonly because it’s what the writers know.
