Recycled Set / Live-Action TV

• The Town Square at the Warner Bros. studio in Burbank has been used in multiple shows, as it can easily pass for the center of Everytown, 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 Gilmore Girls.
  • The Waltons 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 Pretty Little Liars.
  • It's Walter and Gary's hometown seen at the beginning of The Muppets (2011).
  • It's also been used in Ghost Whisperer, Supernatural, The Dukes of Hazzard, Pushing Daisies, Eastwick, Norbit, Go On, and even Seinfeld.
• Done for a laugh in the Angel episode "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.
• As Time Goes By: This is kind of a TV/movie crossover — but the BBC appears to have recycled the set of an earlier adaptation of Noel Streatfeild's Ballet Shoes 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 Batman (1966) 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. Gordon lampshades the similarity, noting that due to the similar demands of police work worldwide, all police commissioners' offices are essentially the same.
• In Battlestar Galactica (2003), the Pegasus interior sets were originally made for the abandoned Lost in Space reboot, and were later recycled within the Galactica series for the interiors of the basestars.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 Boston Legal, 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).
• Boy Meets World 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 Truth in Television — 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 According to Jim.
• In the pilot episode of Living Single, the girls' apartment is the entire downstairs of the Winslow's house from Family Matters.
• Full House 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 Family Matters as Eddie and Waldo's (and eventually Steve's) apartment.
• In the season 7 episode of The Cosby Show called Total Control, the set used for the expectant couple's home is the same one used for the Huxtable home in the pilot episode.
• Believe it or not, the kitchen set from The Golden Girls isn't original to that show. It was first used on a short lived sitcom called It Takes Two.
• The set for the dormitory on season 1 of The Facts of Life was first used on a very short lived show from the late 70s called Co-Ed Fever.
• Happens all the time in The Champions (1968). 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 Stock Footage shots, of supposedly three entirely different class submarines from at least two different navies.
• In Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Estevez and Zimmerfield's police station seems to be Vancouver PD HQ from 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.
• Doctor Who:
  • "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.
  • "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" recycled multiple Dalek sets from Dr. Who and the Daleks. Due to dates, the serial actually aired before the film came out, making this the sets' first appearance.
  • In "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 "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 "The Horns of Nimon".
  • "Planet of Evil" recycles the Thal spaceship doors from "Planet of the Daleks" for the geology ship exterior, and floor panels and structural components from "The Ark in Space" and "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 Blake's 7 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 Platform One, the New New York Senate, the Sybilline temple, the Silurian city and 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 "Love & Monsters", "The Sound of Drums", "Flatline" and "The Zygon Inversion".
  • Harriet Jones once made an emergency broadcast from Joshua Naismith's office. The paintings of Kings Henry VII and VIII on the walls really help make it clear.
  • The New New York hospital lobby and the Red Waterfall reception area are almost identical. The episodes even share an identical shot down the length of the room which highlights this.
  • "The Fires of Pompeii" was shot on sets originally constructed for Rome. As a nod to this the episode begins with the Doctor and Donna assuming they're in Ancient Rome only to discover that they've landed in Pompeii by mistake.
  • The Sontaran teleporter and Jenny's ship (from Series 4) are the same set with different props and details.
  • "The Doctor's Daughter" and "Nightmare in Silver" both have the same theatre being repurposed as military barracks.
  • The football game in "The Lodger" was filmed in a park previously seen in "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 the TARDIS and Demon's Run.
  • The back of Cass' ship in "The Night of the Doctor" is the same corridor and door as the Cybermen's ship at the beginning of "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 look familiar?
  • Missy's garden in "Deep Breath" is the same set as the garden Amy encounters in "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 Family Matters is seen again in the near-same position of the Biggs home in Mike & Molly, which also seems to share the same first floor layout of the Family Matters home. They also used part of a set from 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 Farscape set on a relative of the Living Ship that's been infested by all manner of nastiness.
• Frasier:
  • 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 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.
  • In the flashbacks to 1991 in “The Return of Martin Crane” in Season 9, the diner Martin and his partner Frank are in when Niles confronts them over Maris’ car being towed is a redressed Cafe Nervosa set, the series’ usual Local Hangout.
• The different floors of House's hospital is the same set with a different colour palette.
• iCarly/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 Drake & Josh.
  • 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.
• Henry Danger/Danger Force:
  • The exterior for Club Soda is reused as the exterior for the eponymous Game Shakers.
  • The interior of Duke E. Dawg's is also the interior for Funk E. Festers in the iCarly episode "iBust a Thief".
• Lost: The scenes in the third season finale showing Jack at a hospital were shot on sets borrowed from Grey's Anatomy. This marks one of the few times the show filmed scenes outside of Hawaii.
• The pilot episode of MacGyver featured a run through a damaged gas laboratory. Said laboratory was a heavily redressed Torpedo Bay from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (and much more, as said in the Film section). The cast even climbs out the torpedo hatch to escape.
• In an episode of Married... with Children, Kelly gives to some producers an idea for a Show Within a Show based on Married With Children itself.
• Parodied in the famous Monty Python's Flying Circus: 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 harbor scenes for Murder, She Wrote were from Jaws, and can see them in Universal Studios Hollywood's studio tour.
• NCIS:
  • Several bedrooms of witnesses/family members/otherwise involved characters—when shown—are repeated several times.
  • Funnily enough for the first episode "Yankee White" which mainly took place aboard Air Force One, the set was reused from...Air Force One, complete with Gibbs (not The Mole from the film) gleefully rifling through the place, comparing it to the movie and remarking it looks exactly the same.
  • When they needed an NSA office, it was a slight redress of the set from Boston Legal.
  • Several hallway scenes that are implied or stated to be taking place on different floors of the NCIS office are in fact shot using the same hallway. It helps that every wall-or most of them that aren't specific places like the morgue or the forensics areas-are the same shade of orange.
• The Nutt House was created at least in part explicitly to recycle a set. The hotel sets were originally created for Big Business (1988). 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.
• One Piece (2023) filmed on several ships left over from Black Sails.
• In Power Rangers, the set used for Onyx used in Power Rangers in Space and Power Rangers Lost Galaxy looks to be the exact same set that had previously been used as the set for the Wild West episodes of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Also, the Surf Shack in Power Rangers in Space looks to be the same set used in past shows as the Youth Center, just redressed to indicate that it's a new spot, though with no indication of where Lt. Stone went off to.
• The German science-fiction 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 episodes 5 and 6.
• Though they did a good job of dirtying it up, the virtual reality game center where the Red Dwarf 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 Saved by the Bell 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 That's So Raven for approximately 5 years before being used on iCarly. The only functional difference between That's So Raven 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 Victorious.
• In 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.
• Smallville:
  • The Kent barn was re-used for so many different purposes, including a prison camp, that some fans lost count.
  • The Talon set was re-used for many different purposes.
  • In an episode, a possibly-psychic woman sees Lex Luthor in the Oval Office. Rather than build an oval office set for only a few seconds of screen time, they flew Michael Rosenbaum (the actor playing Lex) from Vancouver to LA in order to use the standing set from The West Wing.
• Stargate-verse:
  • In the Stargate SG-1 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 Faked Rip Van Winkle 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 Dead Like Me. 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.
  • Stargate Atlantis also uses a Recycled Set in the episode "The Tower", where it is an Ancient city-ship identical to Atlantis.
• Star Trek: 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.
  • Star Trek: The Original Series:
    • The show used the same hallways to represent interiors on industrialized planets.
    • Mayberry from The Andy Griffith Show appears in two separate episodes of the original series. In "The City On the Edge of Forever", Mayberry portrays an amazingly skyscraper-less version of 1930s New York. Also, 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 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.
  • Star Trek: The Next Generation:
    • 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 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.
  • Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
    • Empok Nor is identical to the titular space station, except abandoned and therefore sideways (even though 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 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.
  • Star Trek: Voyager: Lampshaded in "The Adventures of Captain Proton", a Show Within the Show homage to sci-fi Film Serials 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.
  • Star Trek: Discovery 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.
  • Star Trek: Picard: The bridge set for the USS Zheng He is a redress of the Discovery bridge.
  • Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has scenes filmed on a modern-day town backlot in Pickering, Ontario. A line of dialogue says that the colonists deliberately modelled their town on the American Mid-West. Some Discovery sets were also reused.
• The same diner set was used in Stargate SG-1 (the Ascension Diner), Dead Like Me (Der Wafflehaus), and Warehouse 13 (the diner where Artie meets the Regents).
• Howard's house in The Big Bang Theory is the same as Buzz Aldrin's and Wil Wheaton's houses.
  • The Big Bang Theory is famous for its Walk and Talk 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 The Day After Tomorrow.
• Lampshade Hanging on 30 Rock here.
• In Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, every single time the Monster of the Week had a Womb Level, it used the exact same set.
• Does the alley where everyone skates on Zeke and Luther look familiar? That's because it first showed up in Season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
• The Twilight Zone (1959) 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 Star Trek.
• The garage in Chico and the Man is the same garage as in Taxi.
• If the house from Mike & Molly isn't the same house from The King of Queens, then it's a pretty close approximation.
• Every Kamen Rider and Super Sentai (and by extension, Power Rangers) 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 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.
• Many of the scripted Nickelodeon shows shot at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios Florida did this. Gullah Gullah Island and Clarissa Explains It All were shot on the same set, albeit redecorated to differ between the two shows. The front yard of the house in Gullah Gullah was also used for a Coach Kreeton sketch on All That (this was Lampshaded when Coach kicked a tree and moaned "Stupid Gullah Gullah tree!")
• Babylon 5 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 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.
• Mannix: "Hardball," the last episode of the series, uses a barely redressed The Brady Bunch house set.
• The pilot for Cristela had No Budget, so they used the set for the Baxter house in Last Man Standing with minimal changes made.
• Three of The Family Channel's interactive games from 1994 — Boggle, Shuffle, and Jumble — shared many of the exact same set pieces. They had the same contestant podiums, host podium (sans Jumble, which simply didn't use one), and giant telephone keypad, all played in front of the same glass walls. Said props were moved around on the stage and redressed to at least give each show a (slightly) different look. Wink Martindale and Randy West were the host/announcer tandem for all three, and they even used the same theme song!
• Whammy recycled much of its set from the 2001 revival of Card Sharks. Both shows also had Gary Kroeger as The Announcer.
• The Ray Combs-hosted version of Family Feud (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 The Price Is Right (hosted by Doug Davidson, as opposed to the daytime CBS version 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 Family Feud, Hot Streak, Jeopardy!, and Wheel of Fortune — which all use reconfigurations of the same studio in different ways.
• Half of Longitude takes place in 18th-century England and at sea. Granada and A&E, which were producing the 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 1730s and Hornblower the 1790s and The Napoleonic Wars)
• The loft exterior for New Girl was reused for Jeff Trail's apartment in The Assassination of Gianni Versace.
• The Paramount Ranch was a very popular shooting location for TV westerns, having Gunsmoke, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, Westworld and numerous others filmed at the set. It was sadly destroyed by a wildfire in late 2018.
• The sister shows in the 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 Arrow, "Fighting Fire with Fire" is the Jitters set that shows up in nearly every episode of The Flash (2014).
• Entertainment Studios has a tendency of this — the new set semi-scripted court show The Verdict With Judge Hatchett received in 2019 was a redress of one used by We the People with Gloria Allred, a short-lived completely scripted court show that came and went in 2011-2012, and parts of that set also showed up during courtroom scenes on the early 2010s sitcom Mr. Box Office. The set for America's Court with Judge Ross was recycled from a 20th Century Fox–produced court show that Fox had intended to trash before Byron Allen, the head of Entertainment Studios, bought it for $1 (that's not a typo, Allen claims he paid just one singular dollar).
• Mandated cost-cutting on Sliders resulted in each universe 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 original set of 25 Words or Less was repurposed for the (ultimately unsuccessful) 2019 trial run of a comedy-oriented game show called Punchlines. The "25 Words Or Less" signs were removed, as was all the wood trim, but it was still clearly the same set otherwise.
• The great hall of Kattegat from Vikings was recycled into the temple of Uppsala in Vikings: Valhalla.
• The set for the 2021 revival of You Bet Your Life was redressed for the 2022 limited trial run of another game show called Person, Place or Thing. That show ended up keeping that set when it debuted nationally in the fall of 2023, immediately after You Bet Your Life left syndication.
  • Select FOX stations ran edited episodes of the 2021 version of Name That Tune in August 2023; the newly added home viewer contest segments were filmed on the Leno version's set, with all the regular graphics swapped out for Name That Tune graphics and logos.
• Standardised Sitcom Housing is a gift to the BBC in keeping set costs low: As the vast majority of BBC sitcoms take place in the Type Two Suburban Semi-Detached, a form of British housing largely built to standard plans and patterns, interior sets can be recycled ad infinitum between shows.
• The final set of The Ellen DeGeneres Show was repurposed for The Jennifer Hudson Show upon that show's debut in 2022. Both First-Run Syndication Talk Shows are produced by Warner Bros. Television, and the latter show even replaced the former show on some stations.
• The set used for most of G4TV's shows during that network's short-lived 2021-2022 revival was repurposed for America's Most Wanted's own revival in 2024.
