Watch a show like "Wild Wild West" back-to-back and you'll see much reuse and redressing of stock sets from week to week, as well as props that keep recurring in slightly altered form. In that show, the same stuntmen showed up as heavies and henchmen week after week, and we never noticed. That was back in the days when studios kept a tight rein on costs and schedules.

It wasn’t unusual in tv shows back then for sets from other shows to be seen in the background of popular tv shows. For instance the house from the Munsters appeared in the background of an episode of Leave It to Beaver. Sets from other shows in the background of Wild Wild West or I Dream of Geanie or even Bewitched. If you’ve grown up watching these shows or just like watching them most people do you’ll notice these sets in the background also.
