That would be The Cosby Show but that didn't have adopted kids like Different Strokes did. I think they pretty much took all the tired tropes of TV family sitcoms and just mixed them all up to come up with Horsin' Around .

This. It was a slurry-like mix of all those wretched (mostly ABC) sitcoms of the late 80s and 90s which enjoyed inexplicable popularity despite seemingly written by and for dim-witted children. It makes me think of Full House, Webster, Step by Step, Family Matters (Urkel is even shown in a cross-promotion with Bojack), etc.

BTW, despite the line "Back in the 90's I was on a very famous TV show," Horsin' Around was supposed to have started its fictional run in the late 80s.

Yep, and to add to your list of banal and vapid TV shows , I grew up in the 80's so I remember them well, was Silver Spoons, Family Ties, Growing Pains, Charles in Charge, and Who's the Boss? . Had a crush on Alyssa Milano back then. Who'd thunk she would turn out to be a lunatic Catty Daddy, don't turn out like Alyssa Milano. Roseanne actually falls exactly with the started in the late 80's and went into the 90's Horsin' Around timeline you mentioned.
