Gosh,sitcoms are so hard to understand,drives me crazy!
There are two sentences.
Sotryline:

Answer

"What with the dead wife and all"= all the things that arise after  her death. For example, his grief,  arranging the funeral, making sure the will is done,  family grief etc.

Answer

1. There are a number of pills that can be obtained - either legally through a prescription or illegally, that will make a person feel (artificially) happy.
They come in all colors, but pink is often the color.
"Just your typical little pink pill to erase your sadness and make you happy."
So some mind-altering drug was taken and it is referred to with sarcastic humor here.

"What with the dead wife and all" = "Considering the situation with the dead wife and everything else that was happening connected with it."
