A few Hollywood folks on Twitter were discussing and sharing clips of TV shows from the ‘80s. Stephen J. Cannell was apparently known for this. Writer Lee Goldberg pointed to a show that used footage from six different shows (with no original footage). And he says they did that more than once.

The biggest offender I recall were the ships and effects “shared” between Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers.
Meanwhile, the same Lee Goldberg shared a screen capture from an episode of The Magician guest starring William Shatner that seems to be shot on redressed hallway from the original Starship Enterprise.

In the UK, ITC who made loads of action adventure series in the 1960s did the same sort of thing. Here's a compilation of clips of two cars going over cliffs that we use repeatedly. The shows they're from are in the YouTube description.

Yup, busted! Both Paramount and Universal guilty as charged, yer honor...
A responder to Goldberg led me to discover something I'd never known about... "The Brady Bunch."

The Brady Bros discussed this on their podcast. They said that after the first season, the set was left standing during hiatus because it was too time consuming to break down and re-assemble. So Paramount just used it for other projects.
