In the US, we are required (new construction) to have two dedicated 20A
(2400W) circuits to service countertop "small appliances". In
addition,
there is also a requirement for a relatively tight spacing between
(duplex) receptacles -- the intent to keep cords short (IIRC, < 4ft...
we settled on 3').

Quite. It's been the practice to steadily increase the number of fixed
wall power outlets over the years. The sitcom could easily be 30 or 40
years old, in which case, two or three worktop double outlets would be
about par for the course back then.
