This should be a good one. I know that during one scene on the final episdoe of "Dallas", Gary and Val Ewing's house on Dallas spinoff "Knots Landing" was used in a scene. On Knots Landing, the living room set had double doors. On "Dallas" when the set was used, it had one door with fake wall padding around it. LOL.

I know of other but want to give you guys a chance. So, post your observations, please.

What's Happening used the same set for the Thomas home that was used for the Sanford home on Sanford and Son.

Irwin Allen did this all the time in his series. Props and Sets can be seen repeatedly in Lost in Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, The Time Tunnel and Land of the Giants, as well as in the Movies City Beneath the Sea & The Towering Inferno. He also used a lot of Stock Footage in his series from various movies.

The pilot episode of Hangin' with Mr. Cooper used the Growing Pains set. if I recall correctly, this was referenced at the end of the episode in a walk-on gag by Alan Thicke.

I remember seeing an episode of "MANNIX" once that used the living room from "THE BRADY BUNCH" in a couple scenes.
Once on "GIDGET" she went to someones house and their living room was the Stevens living room from "BEWITCHED".
Once on "I DREAM OF JEANNIE" Tony quit NASA and took an office job somewhere. Later Jeannie was showing Tony at his job, and he was in Darrins office from "BEWITCHED".

Irwin Allen was known for doing that a lot.

Star Trek swiped a lot of stuff from the old Outer Limits series.

treky · 10-05-2011, 12:45 AM

the "STAR TREK" episode "Miri" used the set of Mayberrys main street from "THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW"

Regulus · 10-05-2011, 07:20 AM

I wouldn't really call this a "Set" (I Guess you could call it Stock Footage), but in part two of the five-part Episode "The Disappearance" from season 10 of Lassie Timmy and his Father are looking for the dawg from an airplane (They were separated from her after a boat they were on capsized during a storm). When you see an exterior shot of the aircraft they are flying in, you see the plane from the ZIV Series Ripcord.

Two episodes of GI during dream sequences used the Gunsmoke set. The Lost in Spain three parter from Family Affair used the "To Rome with Love" set.

old grouch · 10-05-2011, 10:13 AM

All of the old Screen Gems sitcoms are famous for recycling old interior and exterior sets from their other shows. It's one reason that these shows are so fun to watch. The exterior shots were filmed at the Columbia Ranch.

On 'Bewitched', the interior of the Kravitzes house is the Stone's house on 'The Donna Reed Show', while the exterior also belonged to the Partridge Family. The Tate's kitchen also belonged to Jeannie and Tony.

The kitchen used on 'Gidget' was the same one used on 'Hazel', and the living room sets on both shows look simular.

The exterior house used on 'Father Knows Best' is the same house used on 'I Dream of Jeannie'.

And on an episode of 'The Partridge Family' when Keith drops off his date, he drops her off at the Stephens house.

treky · 10-05-2011, 05:51 PM

didn't "THE PATRIDGE FAMILY" and "MY 3 SONS" use the same house interior? I think I read that somewhere.

Schmoopie · 10-05-2011, 06:02 PM

Frasier used some of the Cheers sets every once in a while. From what I read the two sets were housed together in the same studio. Makes sense.

oz615 · 10-05-2011, 07:57 PM

The kitchen in short lived 1982 tv show It Takes Two is almost the same one used 3 years later on the Golden Girls

boechsner · 10-05-2011, 09:21 PM

In the 4th Season episode of The Golden Girls, You Gotta Have Hope, the locker room used is the same locker room used for the waitresses on the 80s sitcom, It's a Living.

Soap, Benson, It Takes Two, Hail to the Chief, It's a Living, The Golden Girls, Nurses and Empty Nest had the same production company back in the day and the same sets were often re-used or slightly re-arranged between series.
