Yes I believe Ricky Ricardo did that. Can you imagine if that happened in 2011? If a married couple (husband spanking wife) as a punishment for buying a pair of new shoes (and not a sex fantasy thang). Some things that were shown in the “olden” days would not be shown in the present.
I don’t think Ralph Cramden ever spanked his wife, although he always threatened “bang, Zoom! To the Moon, Alice!”. I was wondering if Ricky was all bark, no bite.
The audiences might be more forgiving if they believed that the husband would never really hurt their wives.
(I don’t recall if Al Bundy ever threatened Peg Bundy.)
