On March 24, 1980. John Landis sent a memo to Bill DeCinces (art director and backlot executive at Universal City Studios) and Joe Hiatt (General manager of Universal City Studios), ...complaining that sets built for the Blues Brothers film were being used for television shows, and that: "I want you to understand why I will be extremely reluctant ever to shoot anything on this studio lot again".
So apparently there are one or more 1980 television shows, reusing Blues Brothers sets.

- That could include a lot of television shows. Universal Television shows filming during the 1979-80 TV season would include: Columbo The Rockford Files Quincy M.E. The Incredible Hulk Shirley Mrs. Columbo Buck Rogers in the 25th Century B.J. and the Bear The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo House Calls Galctica 1980 Stone When the Whistle Blows Good Time Harry Nobody's Perfect Magnum P.I. I'm not sure how many of these shows were actually filmed on location at Universal Studios but I'd say the odds are good Landis was referring to one or more of these in particular. Although The Rockford Files came to an end in January 1980 so we could probably rule that one out. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NBCUniversal_television_programs ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

I believe the BB finished filming in October 1979, so sometime between then and March 24, 1980, when the memo was written.
My initial guesses, from that list, would be "The Hulk" (which I believe did a lot of backlot filming, or "Lobo" (lots of police themed settings).
