I can't seem to find a actual sourced number but most of the places I checked had a budget of between 1.5 and 3 million per episode. There was no budget jump between seasons 1 and 2 so you would need between 30 and 60 million to produce the normal 20 episode season.
Your sets are normally amortized out over the course of the season as a part of the pre-filming production work. In other words, it is included in that 1.5 to 3 mil episode number.
A final note: You would be unable to film single episodes for that value. The numbers presented here are the the "economy of scale" numbers that you would get by funding an entire season. If you tried to make a bunch of individual episodes, you would be paying some costs multiple times, resulting in a 25 to 50% increase in price (Depending on shooting schedule, your talent costs and pre and post productions cost). You would also have to pay for a license that would have to be negotiated and I have no way of determining how much that would cost you, beyond expensive.
