Not a movie but the first season of "Hanging W/ Mister Cooper" used the same exact set and all the props from "Growing Pains" after it was cancelled.

In the case of TC this was probably due to budgetary conserns, more than any reputed cheapness on the part of DeMille. There is also the consideration that these are two period pieces taking place in nearly identical historical eras in which characters would use nearly identical clothing, props, sets, etc. Why invest anything in reinventing the wheel, or a pyramid as the case may be?

I'd say I'm delusional in hearing that specific line, but I saw the short in 2004 and it jarred that memory from the Queensr˙che song.
It goes:
"Doctor Davis, telephone please. Doctor Davis, telephone please... Doctor Blair, Doctor Blair. Doctor J. Hamilton, Doctor J. Hamilton."

"Doctor davis...." is also used on Motley Crue's Dr Feelgood album
This was actually acknowledged. In the first scene of the first episode, Alan Thicke comes to Cooper's house to get the Seaver family portrait he left on the mantle

just to clarify...sets and props are a very diffrent thing. There are sets that have been used and reused in hundreds of movies for close to 80 years now. The hill valley courthouse shows up all the time, though not always the actual clock
the Wizard Of Oz Dvd has a section in the special features that shows the hour glass being reused several times after the wizard
its also widely known about the blade runner cars showing up in BTTF2
another car... in Halloween H2O. Janet Leigh drives the same car she did in Psycho 38 years earlier
The Bride and Bill's swords from Kill Bill are the same used by Miho in Sin City
and of course Robby the Robot, who even gets his own IMDB page for his appearances
