Did you know that the pilot of Living Single was shot on the Family Matters set - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This was actually common practice back in the '90s, where a TV show shot only the pilot episode before they were green lit for an entire series.

Nice screenshot! The balustrade and wainscotting on the staircase illustrates it perfectly. They didn't change a thing.

I probably never paid attention but wow never realized that.

I never saw such a show and so I never would've known. I am not surprised though to learn of such stuff. I've been watching the Perfect Strangers show lately and I could be wrong, but the kitchen set for the home that the two couples move into near the end of the show may have been altered a little bit and used a few years later as the kitchen set for Mary-Kate and Ashley's Full House follow up show named Two Of A Kind.

God bless you and them always!!!

P.S. If you look at the kitchen set of their home during that show and then look at where Larry/Jennifer and Balki/Mary-Anne have their meals during the final seasons of the Perfect Strangers, you may notice some of the set similarities.
