He used to call her dingbat and insult her repeatedly which is not much different then beating her according to the left these days.

No, he just called her stupid and a dingbat.

Sadly, a woman like Efith would think herself very lucky to have a husband like Archie! Sure, he was rude and thoughtless, but he was a good provider, he never hit her, he didn't cheat on her, and wasn't an alcoholic or a deadbeat. Women of her generation and status had such low expectations that someone like Archie could seem like a catch!

Absolutely never.

Of course not and why would you want to see an episode like that?

Like in the Honeymooners - Ralph would never have really hit Alice nor Archie ever have hit Edith. He'd have found the idea repugnant.
