* ''Franchise/StarTrek'': The franchise has had a long tradition of redressing pre-existing sets. Many of the sets built for ''Star Trek: The Motion Picture'' went through various modifications until the end of ''Star Trek: Enterprise''. It was also good for reusing various sets of buildings on one planet for buildings on another from episode to episode.

*** 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. Apparently they also made some mistakes due to continuity errors where the Voyager crew had converted an area of the ship. The mess hall being changed by Neelix, but appearing the same as the ''Bellerophon'' is one of them.

* 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 EverytownAmerica. 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''.
** Starting in 2010, it became one of the featured sets of ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars''.

* Done for a laugh in the ''Series/{{Angel}}'' episode "[[Recap/AngelS05E20TheGirlInQuestion The Girl in Question]]": Angel and Spike visit the Rome branch of Wolfram and Hart, and it's entirely identical to the Los Angeles branch.
* ''Series/AsTimeGoesBy'': This is kind of a TV/movie crossover -- but the BBC appears to have recycled the set of an earlier adaptation of Creator/NoelStreatfeild's ''Literature/BalletShoes'' for the show. If you've watched ATGB before you watch ''Ballet Shoes'', you can't help but say, "Hey, they live in Jean and Lionel's house!", or vice versa.
* When ''Series/Batman1966'' moved to "Londinium" for a three-part episode, Superintendent Watson's office at "Ireland Yard" is an obvious redress of Commissioner Gordon's office set. So obvious that Gordon lampshades the similarity, noting that due to the similar demands of police work worldwide, ''all'' police commissioners' offices are essentially the same!
* In ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'', the Pegasus interior sets were originally made for the abandoned ''Series/LostInSpace'' reboot, and were later recycled within the Galactica series for the interiors of the basestars. This is what ultimately led to the decision to have the Pegasus destroyed.
* In ''Series/BostonLegal'', when Denny and Alan go to the LA Branch of Crane, Poole and Schmidt, the offices look exactly the same as the Boston offices. This is lampshaded as Alan and Denny do discuss it (Denny wanted the offices to all look the same so no matter where someone was in trouble they could walk into the offices and feel at home).
* ''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. (This one is TruthInTelevision -- many schools have near-identical classrooms and hallways for ease of design and construction, though many will have ones that don't match from years of expansions and renovations.)
** Mr. Turner's apartment was lightly renovated into Jack and Eric's apartment.
** The 'Chubby's' set (with a bit of new furniture and a fresh coat of paint) was used for pretty much every hang out location from Seasons 2-5. Lampshaded in "Things Change", where the set is transformed from the Chubby's set-up into a pirate-themed restaurant set-up during the course of a conversation.
** The Matthews' house (specifically the living room set) would go on to be re-used (though with some layout renovations) as the living room on ''Series/AccordingToJim''.
* In the pilot episode of ''Series/LivingSingle'', the girls' apartment is the entire downstairs of the Winslow's house from ''Series/FamilyMatters''.
* ''Series/FullHouse'' would reuse the set for Steve's apartment a season later as Gia's apartment. The same set was also being used at the exact same time on ''Series/FamilyMatters'' as Eddie and Waldo's (and eventually Steve's) apartment.
* Believe it or not, The kitchen set from ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'' isn't original to that show. It was first used on a short lived sitcom called It Takes Two.
* Happens all the time in ''Series/TheChampions1968''. The worst example was in the episodes "Twelve Hours" and "The Search" (which were episodes 13 and 14 so they were shown on successive weeks) and "The Silent Enemy", all of which used the exact same submarine interior sets and exterior ''Main/StockFootage'' shots, of supposedly three entirely different class submarines from at least two different navies.
* In ''Series/DirkGentlysHolisticDetectiveAgency'', Estevez and Zimmerfield's police station seems to be Vancouver PD HQ from ''{{Series/Continuum}}''. Specifically, the office which belongs to Estevez and Zimmerfield in ''Dirk Gently'' appears to be Betty's office from ''Continuum''. This is unsurprising, as both shows were filmed in Vancouver.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E9TheTimeMeddler "The Time Meddler"]] reused the set of the Doctor's TARDIS for the Meddling Monk's. During the Pertwee era and again in the eighties, the Master's TARDIS used the Doctor's TARDIS set as well.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E2TheDalekInvasionOfEarth "The Dalek Invasion of Earth"]] recycled multiple Dalek sets from ''Film/DrWhoAndTheDaleks''. Due to dates, the serial actually aired before the film came out, making this the sets' first appearance.
** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E3TheInvasion "The Invasion"]], the villain, a fascistic industrialist, has a factory/headquarters in London, and a factory in the countryside which looks identical on the inside. The Doctor's companion Jamie points this out, and the villain says something like that efficiency and uniformity are important.
** Due to the relatively high expense, bits of the sets constructed for [[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E2TheArkInSpace "The Ark in Space"]] show up in various places during the Tom Baker years. And the vacuum-formed cryogenic pods from the cryogenic chamber reappear in the climax of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS17E5TheHornsOfNimon "The Horns of Nimon"]].
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E2PlanetOfEvil "Planet of Evil"]] recycles the Thal spaceship doors from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS10E4PlanetOfTheDaleks "Planet of the Daleks"]] for the geology ship exterior, and floor panels and structural components from "The Ark in Space" and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS9E4TheMutants "The Mutants"]] in the ship interior. In particular, a distinctive set of walls with a waffle-like triangular embossing first used in "The Mutants" appear in many episodes well into the eighties, and even turned up on ''Series/BlakesSeven'' as well.
** Various locations around Cardiff have been recycled time and again across all three series of Nu-Who.
*** Of particular note, a distinctive tiled floor and black fluted square pillars place [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E2TheEndOfTheWorld Platform One]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E3Gridlock the New New York Senate]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E2TheFiresOfPompeii the Sybilline temple]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E8TheHungryEarth the Silurian]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E9ColdBlood city]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E8LetsKillHitler the Hotel Adlon]] as having all been filmed in the same building, Cardiff's Temple of Peace.
*** Caerphilly Castle has been in multiple, wildly-different episodes, playing wildly different buildings.
*** There's a pedestrian underpass that has appeared in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E10LoveAndMonsters "Love & Monsters"]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E12TheSoundOfDrums "The Sound of Drums"]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E9Flatline "Flatline"]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E8TheZygonInversion "The Zygon Inversion"]].
** Harriet Jones once [[Recap/DoctorWho2005CSTheChristmasInvasion made an emergency broadcast]] from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime Joshua Naismith's office]]. The paintings of Kings Henry VII and VIII on the walls really help make it clear.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E1NewEarth The New New York hospital lobby]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E10TheGirlWhoWaited the Red Waterfall reception area]] are almost identical. The episodes even share an identical shot down the length of the room which highlights this.
** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E2TheFiresOfPompeii The Fires of Pompeii]]" was shot on sets originally constructed for ''Series/{{Rome}}''. As a nod to this the episode begins with the Doctor and Donna assuming they're in AncientRome only to discover that they've landed in Pompeii by mistake.
** The [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E4TheSontaranStratagem Sontaran]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E5ThePoisonSky teleporter]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E6TheDoctorsDaughter Jenny's ship]] (from Series 4) are the same set with different props and details.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E6TheDoctorsDaughter "The Doctor's Daughter"]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E12NightmareInSilver "Nightmare in Silver"]] both have the same theatre being repurposed as military barracks.
** The football game in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E11TheLodger "The Lodger"]] was filmed in a park previously seen in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E9ForestOfTheDead "Forest of the Dead"]]. The gazebo Donna and Miss Evangelista speak in can be seen in the background.
** A series of hexagonal corridors has been used in both [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E4TheDoctorsWife the TARDIS]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E7AGoodManGoesToWar Demon's Run]].
** The back of Cass' ship in [[Recap/DoctorWho50thPrequelTheNightOfTheDoctor "The Night of the Doctor"]] is the same corridor and door as the Cybermen's ship at the beginning of [[Recap/DoctorWho2013CSTheTimeofTheDoctor "The Time of the Doctor"]] with completely different lighting and a different paint job.
*** Speaking of "The Time of the Doctor", does the outside of Clara's apartment building [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E1Rose look familiar?]]
** Missy's garden in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E1DeepBreath "Deep Breath"]] is the same set as the garden Amy encounters in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E10TheGirlWhoWaited "The Girl Who Waited"]]. This is one of the most noticeable examples yet, and led to a lot of {{Jossed}} fan speculation that it was deliberately meaningful.
* A unique hall tree seen in the Winslow home of ''Series/FamilyMatters'' is seen again in the near-same position of the Biggs home in ''Series/MikeAndMolly'', which also seems to share the same first floor layout of the ''Family Matters'' home. They also used part of a set from ''Series/{{Roseanne}}, and many people believe that elements of the set from Everybody Loves Raymond were also used.
* Done for major creepiness in an episode of ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' set on a relative of the LivingShip that's been infested by all manner of nastiness.
* ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' Crane lives at 1901 Elliot Bay Towers. We have seen 2001 (Cam Winston's apartment, directly above Frasier's) and 1801 (directly below Frasier's). Naturally all 3 have the same layout [[JustifiedTrope due to the way the building is built]], but whereas 2001 has different furniture, 1801 is a direct copy. The only difference is the lack of Martin's ugly chair.
* The different floors of Series/{{House}}'s hospital is the same set with a different colour palette.
* ''Series/{{iCarly}}[=/=]Series/{{Victorious}}'': As both shows are exclusively filmed on the same set (as opposed to ''Zoey 101'' which was filmed on location), they have reused locations, many of which first appeared in ''Series/DrakeAndJosh''.
** The sidewalk where Josh ran around in "Dinner With Bobo" is the same sidewalk Carly rode her electric-powered scooter in "iGo Nuclear." It also showed up on an episode of Victorious where Jade and Tori sing in Spanish.
** The dirt roadway in ''The Wedding'' where Drake and Josh got stranded in their car is also the spot "Somewhere Outside Tokyo" where Carly, Sam, and Freddie were ditched by Kyoko and Yuki in ''iGo To Japan''.
** Pretty much any big room ends up being made via a redress of the main iCarly studio sets. Spencer, Carly and Freddie's bedroom were all done in this way. It's also the reason why unlike Drake & Josh where their room was a major location, on iCarly they are only shown in one-off special episodes and never show up again.
* ''Series/HenryDanger[=/=]Series/DangerForce'':
** The exterior for Club Soda is reused as the exterior for the eponymous ''Series/GameShakers''.
** The interior of Duke E. Dawg's is also the interior for Funk E. Festers in the ''iCarly'' episode "iBust a Thief".
* ''Series/{{LOST}}'': The scenes in the third season finale showing Jack at a hospital were shot on sets borrowed from ''Series/GreysAnatomy''. This marks one of the few times the show filmed scenes outside of Hawaii.
* The pilot episode of ''Series/{{MacGyver|1985}}'' featured a run through a damaged gas laboratory. Said laboratory was a heavily redressed Torpedo Bay from ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'' (and much more, as said in the Film section). The cast even climb out the torpedo hatch to escape.
* In an episode of ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'', Kelly gives to some producers an idea for a ShowWithinAShow based on ''Married With Children'' itself.
* Parodied in the famous ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'': Parrot Sketch, in which the customer walks into the second pet shop and finds it identical to the first pet shop... right down to the bird cage he left on the floor earlier in the sketch.
* An eagle-eyed viewer can see that the harbour scenes for ''Series/MurderSheWrote'' were from ''Film/{{Jaws}}'', and can see them in Universal Studios Hollywood's studio tour.
* On ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': Several bedrooms of witnesses/family members/otherwise involved characters--when shown--are repeated several times.
** When they needed an NSA office, it was a slight redress of the set from ''Series/BostonLegal''.
* ''Series/TheNuttHouse'' was created at least in part explicitly to recycle a set. The hotel sets were originally created for ''Film/BigBusiness1988''. The film's producers couldn't get permission to film at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, so they recreated it on sound stages; ''The Nutt House'' was a failed attempt to recoup the construction costs.
* The German science-fiction series ''Series/{{Raumpatrouille}}'' also reused a lot of sets, for example:
** The bridge set was not only used for ''Orion 7'' (destroyed in episode 2) and its successor ''Orion 8'', but also for the ''Hydra'' (e. g. in episode 2) and the ''Tau'' (episode 7).
** The smaller ''Lancet'' was reused with some additions as a similar craft from the planet Chroma (episode 5) on the rationale that this was a lost colony using technology based on earlier Earth designs.
** The same former lignite mine was used for exterior shots on different small planets visited in episode 5 and 6.
* Though they did a good job of dirtying it up, the virtual reality game center where the ''Series/RedDwarf'' crew wake up in "Back to Reality" is clearly a repainted version of the hologrammatic ship bridge from the earlier episode "Holoship".
** Series X repurposed the same set for the titular ship from ''Trojan'', the market from ''Lemons'' and the simulant ship from ''The Beginning''.
** The Science Room set for Series XI and XII was repeatedly redressed for various episodes where it wasn't needed. Sometimes this would be noticeable (it appears as a similar room on another ship in "Siliconia"), sometimes not (the Lady Be Good club in "Twentica" is such a total overhaul you wouldn't guess it was the same set).
* After ''Series/SavedByTheBell'' finished, the main school hallway set was not destroyed when the show finished and went on to be redressed and reused on multiple school based shows. It was used in ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'' for approximately 5 years before being used on ''Series/ICarly''. The only functional difference between ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'' and ''iCarly'' is that ''iCarly'' doesn't use an entire extra hallway off to the right of where the new double door entrance is on ''iCarly''. After ''iCarly'' ended, the set was repainted for use on sister show ''SerieS/{{Victorious}}''.
* In ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'', bizarro Jerry's apartment was similar to Jerry's, but with some opposites (eg, the little statue of Superman is now a statue of bizarro Superman, the bicycle on the wall is now a unicycle). The layout was also, and unsettlingly, a ''mirror image''.
* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'':
** The Kent barn, obviously. It has been used for so many different purposes we have lost count. Including as a prison camp. The Talon also counts before it slowly slips out of continuity.
** In an episode, a possibly-psychic woman sees Lex Luthor in the [[TheWhiteHouse Oval Office]]. Rather than build an oval office set for only a few seconds of screen time, they flew Creator/MichaelRosenbaum (the actor playing Lex) from Vancouver to LA in order to use the standing set from ''Series/TheWestWing''.
* Franchise/StargateVerse:
** In the ''Series/StargateSG1'' episode "Out of Mind/Into the Fire", the Recycled Set was a replica of the SGC, complete with a fake Stargate, built by Hathor in a FakedRipVanWinkle ploy.
** In the episode Threads, the "Celestial diner" that Daniel Jackson ends up in while talking with his fellow ascended is the prominent diner set from ''Series/DeadLikeMe''. They even sit at the same booth the characters on Dead Like Me use, and in a small nod to the other show, Jackson orders waffles.
** ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' also uses a Recycled Set in the episode "The Tower", where it is an Ancient city-ship identical to Atlantis.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'': The franchise has had a long tradition of redressing pre-existing sets. Many of the sets built for ''Star Trek: The Motion Picture'' went through various modifications until the end of ''Star Trek: Enterprise''. It was also good for reusing various sets of buildings on one planet for buildings on another from episode to episode.
** From ''TNG'' onward, the same set was used for almost every cave. This got ridiculous in ''[=DS9=]'', since a dozen different conspiracies were clearly using the same hideout which hosted at least one major firefight a season.
** ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'':
*** The show used the same hallways to represent interiors on industrialized planets.
*** Mayberry from ''Series/TheAndyGriffithShow'' appears in two separate episodes of the original series. In "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E28TheCityOnTheEdgeOfForever The City On the Edge of Forever]]", Mayberry portrays an [[ArtisticLicenseGeography amazingly skyscraper-less]] version of 1930s New York. Also, [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110628042042/memoryalpha/en/images/5/50/Floyd%27s_Barber_Shop.jpg Floyd's Barber Shop appears unaltered]].
*** The episode "The Mark of Gideon". Apparently a world that is overpopulated with wall-to-wall people has the space and resources to build an entire fake ''Enterprise'' just to teach Kirk a lesson. To reduce overpopulation by introducing disease into their society again, actually, so there was a logical reason for getting Kirk down there, although there was a simpler way to do it.
*** Starting in the second season, the ''Enterprise'' sets doubled as various other ships: the ''Constellation'' ("The Doomsday Machine"); the [[MirrorUniverse mirror]]-''Enterprise'' ("Mirror, Mirror"); the ''Lexington'' ("The Ultimate Computer"); the ''Exeter'' ("The Omega Glory"); and the ''Defiant'' ("The Tholian Web").
*** The ship's chapel in the ''TOS'' episode "Balance of Terror" was a redress of the transporter room.
** ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'':
*** The ceiling of the transporter pads is the ''floor'' of the transporter pads from ''TOS''.
*** In the episode "Where Silence Has Lease", an Away Team beams to a replica of the USS ''Yamato'', the Enterprise's sister ship, allowing the show to reuse the Enterprise bridge set. Interestingly, the next time we see the ''Yamato'', the bridge is noticeably different, with some sort of [[TheBigBoard large display board]] visible behind the captain's chair. It's never seen again; presumably, in-universe it was some sort of experimental feature added to later models of Galaxy-class starship that didn't work out.
** ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'':
*** Empok Nor is identical to the titular space station, except abandoned and therefore sideways (even though [[FridgeLogic it's in space...]]).
*** Encounters with the Prophets tended to involve visions of them appearing as other characters, in an area that is just like a recurring set, only red-lit.
*** The USS ''Valiant'' was a Defiant-class ship, allowing them to reuse the sets for the USS ''Defiant''.
*** 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. Apparently they also made some mistakes due to continuity errors where the Voyager crew had converted an area of the ship. The mess hall being changed by Neelix, but appearing the same as the ''Bellerophon'' is one of them.
** ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': Lampshaded in "The Adventures of Captain Proton", a ShowWithinTheShow homage to sci-fi {{Film Serial}}s of the 1930's. Harry Kim points out that "Planet X" looks identical to "The Mines of Mercury" that they visited in the last adventure. Tom Paris points out that sets were expensive in the days when you couldn't just create them on the holodeck, so they were frequently reused.
** ''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. And the sets for ''Discovery'''s sister ship were the regular ''Discovery'' sets lit differently.
** ''Series/StarTrekPicard'': The bridge set for the USS ''Zheng He'' is a redress of the ''Discovery'' bridge.
* The same diner set was used in ''Series/StargateSG1'' (the Ascension Diner), ''Series/DeadLikeMe'' (Der Wafflehaus), and Warehouse 13 (the diner where Artie meets the Regents).
* Howard's house in ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' is the same as Buzz Aldrin's and Creator/{{Wil Wheaton}}'s houses.
** ''The Big Bang Theory'' is famous for its WalkAndTalk scenes in which the characters climb four flights of stairs because their apartment's elevator is perpetually broken. Of course, every level except the lobby is the same set.
** The scenes of Howard on the International Space Station were filmed on the same set that was used to represent the ISS in ''Film/TheDayAfterTomorrow''.
* LampshadeHanging on ''Series/ThirtyRock'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqCiYZpuugY here]].
* In ''Series/VoyageToTheBottomOfTheSea'', every single time the MonsterOfTheWeek had a WombLevel, it used the exact same set.
* Does the alley where everyone skates on ''Series/ZekeAndLuther'' look familiar? That's because it first showed up in Season 3 of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.
* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'' liked to reuse a lot of props and sets but most notable would be the space ship interior which is always the same; including stock sound effects which later appeared in ''Series/{{Star Trek|The Original Series}}''.
* The garage in ''Series/ChicoAndTheMan'' is the same garage as in ''Series/{{Taxi}}''.
* If the house from ''Series/MikeAndMolly'' isn't the same house from ''Series/TheKingOfQueens'', then it's a pretty close approximation.
* Every ''Franchise/KamenRider'' and ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' (and by extension, ''Franchise/PowerRangers'') series shot since around 2000 will use the same set of about 15 locations from around Tokyo: a path high on a hill, part of a street next to a train track, the carpark, stairs and occasionally interior of a stadium, a curving road around a hill, and so on. Some of the more iconic locations include Ajinomoto Stadium, Chichibu Muse Park, Harumi Wharf, and Mt. Iwafune. Most fights in all three shows take place outside for safety and budget reasons, and to the shows' credit, they never use the same location two episodes in a row.
** Especially gratuitous is the use of an [[JidaiGeki Edo-era Japanese village]] set, which is part of a theme park owned by Toei. When it shows up, it usually requires some excuse to get the characters there; whether it's a dream sequence, time travel, or whatever.
* One Coach Kreeton sketch on ''Series/AllThat'' utilized the front yard set from ''Series/GullahGullahIsland''. {{Lampshaded}} when Coach kicked a tree and moaned "Stupid Gullah Gullah tree!"
** On a side note, both ''Gullah Gullah'' and ''Series/ClarissaExplainsItAll'' were shot on the same set.
* ''Series/BabylonFive'' was ''notorious'' for this. Almost every large room was a redress of the council chamber, and of course all of the corridors on different levels were the same few corridors with different coloring. There's a particular type of grille partition that's seen on both B5 itself and several Minbari ships (presumably justified in-story by assuming the Minbari supplied some of the station's interior decor).
* In one episode of ''Series/{{Roseanne}}'', Roseanne and Dan visit their neighbors' house and Roseanne becomes green with envy at how much better it looks. Needless to say it's a redress of their own house, as lampshaded at the end of the episode with wipes from one dressing to the other.
* ''Series/{{Mannix}}'': "Hardball," the last episode of the series, uses a barely redressed ''Series/TheBradyBunch'' house set.
* The {{pilot}} for ''Series/{{Cristela}}'' had NoBudget, so they used the set for the Baxter house in ''Series/LastManStanding'' with minimal changes made.
* Three of The Family Channel's interactive games from 1994 — ''Boggle'', ''Jumble'' and ''Shuffle'' — shared the exact same set pieces. They were just moved around on the stage so it looked like they were different.
* ''Series/{{Whammy}}'' recycled much of its set from the 2001 revival of ''Series/CardSharks''. Both shows also had Gary Kroeger as TheAnnouncer.
* The Ray Combs-hosted version of ''Series/FamilyFeud'' (1988-94) recycled most of its set from the original Richard Dawson-hosted version (1976-85), including the giant board. Also, when Dawson returned for the 1994-95 season, they used pieces from a set that was originally constructed for when the Combs version taped at Opryland in 1993.
* 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 a proof-of-concept game show pilot called ''Cash Tornado'' (it was a demo to US state lotteries to base their own game shows off of).
* The German channel [=RTLplus=] commissioned revivals of several game shows, including the local versions of ''Series/FamilyFeud'', ''Series/HotStreak'', ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'', and ''Series/WheelOfFortune'' -- which all use reconfigurations of the same studio in different ways.
* Half of ''Series/{{Longitude}}'' takes place in 18th-century England and at sea. Granada and A&E, which were producing the ''Series/{{Hornblower}}'' miniseries at the same time, used many of the same sets (including the shipboard ones on the replica frigate ''Grand Turk''). A number of the same ''actors'' also turn up in both productions. (They did not share costumes, however, since ''Longitude'' takes place in the 18th century and ''Hornblower'' the 19th.)
* The loft exterior for ''Series/NewGirl'' was reused for Jeff Trail's apartment in ''Series/TheAssassinationOfGianniVersace''. [[https://www.avclub.com/the-new-girl-loft-was-the-scene-of-a-murder-on-last-nig-1822839415 The A.V. Club]] took note of this and were a little unsettled by the vast different tones of both series.
* The Paramount Ranch was a very popular shooting location for TV westerns, having ''Series/{{Gunsmoke}}'', ''Series/DrQuinnMedicineWoman'', ''Series/{{Westworld}}'' and numerous others filmed at the set. It was sadly destroyed by a wildfire in late 2018.
* The sister shows in the ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'' get to trade sets from time to time to save on their budgets. For example, the restaurant Paul and Curtis meet at in the fifth season episode of ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', "Fighting Fire with Fire" is the Jitters set that shows up in nearly every episode of ''Series/TheFlash2014''.
* Semi-scripted court show ''The Verdict With Judge Hatchett'' got a new set in 2019...or rather, it took the set from ''We The People with Gloria Allred'', a short-lived completely scripted court show that came and went in 2011-2012. Both shows are made by Entertainment Studios.
* Mandated cost-cutting on ''Series/{{Sliders}}'' resulted in each universe [[HandWave somehow]] having a version of the same hotel they always stayed in (different each season, at least nominally). The team usually stayed in the same room.
* The great hall of Kattegat from ''Series/{{Vikings}}'' was recycled into the temple of Uppsala in ''Series/VikingsValhalla''.
