Quick Look: The Life of Riley is a TV sit-com that aired first for a single season (1949-1950) with Jackie Gleason as the star, and then for six seasons 1953-1958) featuring William Bendix. According to Wikipedia, "the comedic plotlines centered around Riley himself, a gullible and occasionally clumsy (but big-hearted) man, and the doings and undoings of his family. Riley's penchant for turning mere trouble into near-disaster through his well-intentioned bumbling was often aided or instigated by his arch best friend/next-door neighbor, Gillis."
