Yes, it was Married With Children.

I captured this by pointing my little digital camera at a TV screen, so the quality isn't great. It is a sitcom based on an American sitcom. And when I say it is based on an American sitcom, it is a virtual copy. Everything from the hairstyle of the lead female to the raspy voice of the male lead.

The issue with Doctor Who is that the BBC didn't think the series had any long term viability, so their SOP at the time was to wipe the tapes for reuse after the show aired. In many cases, the only reason we still have copies of the early episodes is thanks to copies sent overseas for air. So it'
