*** A few ''[[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyager]]'' sets found their way onto ''[=DS9=]''. In an episode where Bashir was subjected to experiments by Section 31, the ''Voyager'' holodeck set was reused. In another episode, Bashir traveled to Romulus aboard an Intrepid-class ship (same as ''Voyager'') called the USS ''Bellerophon''. ''Voyager'''s bridge, mess hall, and Janeway's ready room underwent some cosmetic changes to differentiate the two ships; they kept the CGI model, however, right down to the serial number, prompting ''Website/SFDebris'' to rename it the USS ''Dancing On Voyager's Grave''.

* ''Film/TheClimax'' uses the same opera house sets as ''Film/PhantomOfTheOpera1943'' which was left over from ''Film/PhantomOfTheOpera1925''.

* ''Film/TheClimax'' uses the same opera house sets as ''Film/PhantomOfTheOpera1943''.

* The Town Square at the Creator/WarnerBros studio in Burbank has been used in multiple shows, as it can easily pass for the center of small town America. It usually prominently displays a small gazebo in the center, with a number of houses and stores surrounding it.

*** Amy's flashback of his previous adventure in [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD Little Planet]] uses a still the beta Windy Valley as a background. Even though this one look noticeably different from the final Windy Valley to pass off as a wholly different area, eagle-eyed players should notice that other parts of the game use stills of it, such as Big's background in the opening FMV.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'', the exterior for Amblin Entertainment is a redecorated version of Acme Loo from ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures''.

* The set for the 1994-95 syndicated nighttime version of ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' (hosted by Doug Davidson, as opposed to the daytime Creator/{{CBS}} version [[LongRunners begun in 1972]]) had its set recycled for an unsold game show pilot called ''Cash Tornado''.

* The Paramount Ranch was a very popular shooting location for TV westerns, having [[Series/{{Gunsmoke}} Gunsmoke]], [[Series/DrQuinnMedicineWoman Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman]], [[Series/{{Westworld}} Westworld]] and numerous others filmed at the set. It was sadly destroyed by a wildfire in late 2018.

** It's also been used in ''Series/GhostWhisperer'', ''Series/Supernatural'', ''Series/TheDukesOfHazzard'', ''Series/PushingDaisies'', ''Series/{{Eastwick}}'', ''Film/{{Norbit}}'', ''Series/GoOn'', and even ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}''.

* ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' had several instances. For example, the senior hallway from season 5 is almost exactly the same as the school hallway from seasons 2-4 but shot from a different angle. Also, for a little while Mr. Turner and Mr. Feeny had the same classroom, just flipped around with a few different props.

* The Warner Brothers Studio Backlot Town Square is used in multiple shows, which is convenient as it can easily pass for the center of small town America. It usually prominently displays a small gazebo in the center, with a number of houses and stores surrounding it.
** It is the main exterior representing Stars Hollow for all seven seasons and the revival of Series/GilmoreGirls.
** Series/TheWaltons uses many of the same sets, and the Walton's house was later repurposed for the Dragonfly Inn in Gilmore Girls.

** ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'' reused some sets as well. For example, the bridge of the USS ''Shenzhou'' in Season 1 was reused in Season 2 as the upper section of the bridge of the Section 31 starship, and the usual USS ''Discovery'' canteen set was reused as the main medical room of the USS ''Hiawatha'' in "Brother". The corridors of the USS ''Enterprise'' were simply the corridors of the ''Discovery'' redressed.

* James Rolfe used the same set for Monster Madness 2019 and the Angry Video Game Nerd episode for Halloween of that year.

* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' reuses a few different set layouts from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood''. Specifically, the establishing shot of Gotham City and the warehouse in ''Downtime'' and Roy's apartment in ''Auld Acquaintance'' and ''Salvage''. Freely admitted by the showrunners if asked -- one of them, Brandon Vietti, was the director of ''Under the Red Hood.''

* The Paramount Ranch was a very popular shooting location for TV westerns, having [[Series/Gunsmoke Gunsmoke]], [[Series/DrQuinnMedicineWoman Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman]], [[Series/Westworld Westworld]] and numerous others filmed at the set. It was sadly destroyed by a wildfire in late 2018.

* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' used many of its level designs twice, with tougher enemies and obstacles the second time around, due to the limited cartridge space of the time. The arcade version replaced the duplicates with all-new levels, whose designs were in turn reused for ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels''.
