Oh that’s disappointing, I would have enjoyed being reminded of this episode of Boy Meets World:

Spoiler: the mayor was the judge
Yes! This was especially obvious to me as a kid watching all the popular 90s sitcoms with my mom every evening.
ABC shows (oddly with the exception of Roseanne, now that you mention, that set really balanced it out) always had a bright, almost washed out look, eg Ellen, Boy Meets World, Drew Carey Show. NBC shows always looked more cozy and lived-in regardless of story location, eg Just Shoot Me, Friends, Seinfeld.
Anecdotally I've found this to be true when discussing the US with European friends I have. They think our schooling looks exactly like the sitcoms (e.g. Boy Meets World, Fresh Prince). They also seem to think we're all partially cowboys or at least like John McClane in Die Hard. They also take every bit of media coming from the major networks as absolute truth and tend to believe things that are really quite rare here happen on a constant basis.
At Thanksgiving my ~60 year old parents were telling us that they didn’t have a microwave growing up and it blew my mind. Wikipedia says only 25% of households had a microwave in 1986 and my whole life I just assumed they’d been a staple kitchen appliance since the 1960s.
Then we had fun looking up a bunch of old TV show kitchens to see if they had a microwave. The earliest we found was Season 2 of Boy Meets World (1993) though there was a lively debate about whether the early seasons of Married with Children had a microwave or a toaster oven. Better than debating politics at least.
I believe the answer comes from an old episode of "Boy Meets World"
There is no answer.
