| 208 | * ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' repeatedly uses this trope, being StrictlyFormula for the most part: |
| 209 | ** ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' and ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'' were aversions, and not just because they were the originals. Production took the seasonal themes from ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' such as dinosaurs and Chinese mythological creatures for ''Mighty Morphin'' Seasons 1 and 2, and ancient world cultures (or something) for ''Zeo'' and downplayed them so that things were kept as generic as possible - so stuff was recycled, but not [-IN SPACE!-] ''Mighty Morphin''' Season 3 and ''Alien Rangers'' (a mini-series that served to transition to ''Zeo'' that you could count as Season 3.5), however, went a fair way towards being Power Rangers [-AS [[GratuitousNinja NINJAS]]!-] |

| 238 | * ''Series/{{Riverdale}}'' is ''Series/MySoCalledLife'' [-AS A MYSTERY THRILLER!-] |
| 239 | ** Alternatively, ''Series/VeronicaMars'' [-WITH A {{WHITE MALE LEAD}}!-] |
| 240 | * The PBS show ''Roadtrip Nation'' is ''Series/RoadRules'' [-MINUS [[Series/FearFactor FEAR FACTOR]]-ESQUE CHALLENGES AND WITH MOTIVATIONAL STORIES-]! |
| 241 | * ''Series/RyansMysteryPlaydate'' is ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues'' [-WITH SPECIAL GUESTS AND MINUS MAIN/FAKEINTERACTIVITY-]! |

| 249 | * ''Series/ICarly'': ''iSpace Out'' is an iCarly episode...IN SPACE! Well, [[DefiedTrope not really.]] |
| 250 | ** WordOfGod even stated in his blog that the characters doing a webcast in space would be JumpingTheShark. |
| 251 | ** Also, Series/ICarly is ''Series/LizzieMcGuire'' [-WITH A WEBSHOW, MINUS HER ANIMATED COUNTERPART-]! |
| 252 | * Literal example: Obscure, not very successful Gerry Anderson show ''Series/SpacePrecinct'' was ''Series/NYPDBlue''[=/=]''Series/HillStreetBlues''[=/=]any other cop show you care to name [-IN SPACE! WITH TACKED-ON {{CYBERPUNK}} ELEMENTS!-] SugarWiki/BetterThanItSounds, actually. |

| 263 | * The ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode [[Recap/StarTrekS1E14BalanceOfTerror "Balance of Terror"]] is the 1957 WWII submarine movie ''The Enemy Below'' [-IN SPACE-]! Even the bearing of the unidentified initial contact and the captain's maneuvering orders to the helm are copied nearly verbatim. The Romulan ship is cramped and has lots of piping and conduits in all background scenes. The Enterprise's phasers act like depth charges, and at one point the Enterprise and the Romulan ship both go to silent running, fearing to ''talk loudly'' [[SpaceIsNoisy lest the other vessel hear them]]. |
| 264 | ** The Romulans in this episode were UsefulNotes/TheRomanEmpire [-IN SPACE-]!, as exemplified by Mark Lenard's dignified Centurion character. They didn't stay that way, though. Compare the Romulans in ''Film/StarTrek2009'' reboot movie. |
| 265 | ** The episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E13ElaanOfTroyius Elaan of Troyius]]" is ''Theatre/TheTamingOfTheShrew'' [-IN SPACE-]!

| 275 | * The much-maligned ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "Meridian" was, as admitted by producer Ira Steven Behr, ''Theatre/{{Brigadoon}}'' [-IN SPACE-]! Recalling this idea at a later date, Behr admitted: "I am a moron." |
| 276 | ** The original concept for ''Deep Space Nine'' (before they shifted the location from a Federation colony planet to a space station after Creator/JMichaelStraczynski pitched ''Series/BabylonFive'' to Paramount) would have been ''Star Trek'' [-ON LAND-]! |
| 277 | ** The episode "Starship Down" is basically ''Film/DasBoot'' [-IN SPACE-]! |
| 278 | ** The episode "Duet" of ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' is a RecycledInSpace take on the play ''The Man in the Glass Booth''. The main difference is that the latter is about Nazis and their victims, while the former centers on the Cardassians, who are ANaziByAnyOtherName." |
| 279 | ** Brandon Tartikoff originally pitched ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space Nine]]'' itself as ''Series/TheRifleman'' [-IN SPACE-]!" |
| 280 | ** The episode "Explorers", in which Sisko builds a copy of an ancient Bajoran solar-sail spaceship and proves it could travel as far as Cardassia, is essentially ''The Voyage of the Kon-Tiki'' [-IN SPACE-]! |
| 281 | ** In the episode "Melora", Jadzia Dax {{lampshades}} that Melora Pazlar's storyline bears some similarity to ''Literature/TheLittleMermaid'' [-IN SPACE-]! |
