One of my favourite running jokes in Stargate SG-1 were the comments from characters about how most planets have suspiciously similar ecology that wouldn't look out of place for, oh, as a random example, southern British Columbia. From an episode that starts with an SGC team arriving on another world for recon, discussing what they'll find:
"Take the usual bet on that, sir?"
"Sure. Wells?"
"Abandoned naquadah mine."
"Boring. Good odds. Bosworth?"
"I'm gonna put my money on trees, sir."
"Bosworth's disqualified for being a smart ass. I'll go with two-headed aliens."

"Hostile or friendly, sir?"
"One head good, one head bad. Balinsky?"
"Oh, ruins of an ancient city."
"Yeah, you wish."
One thing that SG1 had that other shows sorely lack is a whole array of Michael Shanks death scenes. Dude was a pro at dying by season 10.
