That science fiction trope where planets fall into two categories: Earth-like (solid, with a human-breathable atmosphere and the same gravity, even if completely barren), and gas giants. And often, many of the gas giants have Earth-like moons. Even the most inhospitable of Single Biome Planets are not immune.
There is, of course, a certain subjectivity regarding the definition of "Earth-like". In some works, "Earth-like" means that a human being can walk around without a pressure suit and not die, but everything else (the presence of animals and plants, the weather, the gravity, and so on) might be vastly different. In other works, "Earth-like" means not only are pressure suits unnecessary, but a person can eat the plants and animals, drink the water, walk around in the gravity without a lot of effort, survive the weather, and so on.
Often justified by mentioning terraforming; series without terraforming invariably have many life-bearing planets that are perhaps more similar to Earth than most would consider plausible.note We don't actually know how common or uncommon Earth-like planets are in Real Life, and thus it's hard to judge "realism" here objectively. For what it's worth, NASA's Kepler mission so far suggests maybe one in about 30,000 stars might have a planet that's Earth-like in terms of size and orbit, at least, though not necessarily in terms of atmosphere or other important details. There are estimated to be between 200 and 400 billion stars in the Milky Way, so that's at least six million inhabitable planets in those terms, before counting near-Earth-sized moons... needless to say, even if that number’s only a small percentage of the many exoplanets out there, in human terms it’s quite a promising number. Hell, even with terraforming, there still would not be too many planets in one solar system that might be human-inhabitable without some sort of huge sunlight-focusing and gathering apparatus in orbit, since the planets' distance to the sun seems to be the main factor. There are also some theories that an Earth-like planet would be the ideal type for (carbon-based) life (but again, this is just a theory). Additionally, even if a planet is terraformed, it still would look mostly the same as it did before, except a different color (if Mars were terraformed, it would still have its volcanoes and craters).
Can also be justified by The Law of Conservation of Detail. Most people are unlikely to visit a planet where they can't breathe, so Earth-like planets will tend to be the only places anything interesting is happening.
This frequently happens because at least half of science fiction shows are shot in British Columbia, which conveniently happens to be located on an Earth-like planet (Earth).
In live-action TV, this is inevitable, since creating a convincing alien planetary setting tends to require (a) a great deal of budget and F/X spent on a set that must be built very quickly and most likely will not be used again, and (b) any actors appearing in that setting to don costumes (also expensive, but more potentially reusable) which, if they are convincing full-protection envirosuits, will usually obscure the face and make acting more difficult. (See Rubber-Forehead Aliens for a reverse example of that problem.) Movies, animation and novels, less bound by time and budget concerns, have a somewhat better record, but even there the ability for human characters to see, be seen, and interact with each other without significant inconvenience tends to trump realistic assessment of xenoplanetary environmental conditions.
Of course, this makes it problematic if some species wants the resources of a certain planet and are not concerned about the fate of its inhabitants. You'd think that a universe full of uninhabited planets would be a wonderful resource for metals and other minerals, but no.
There's an actual astronomy term for Earth-like planets: Earth analogsnote And remember here that all we can say with our current technology is that a given star has one or more planets similar to ours in terms of mass and/or diameter, and that are located at a distance of their star where conditions in theory allow liquid water to exist. So far, the actual conditions on them besides at best some rudimentary data on their atmospheres are unknown and are pure guesswork at worst. Said planets may be Venus analogs instead.
See also Single-Biome Planet. Contrast Death World.
For depictions of planets in our own Solar System as more Earth-like than they are, see Once-Green Mars, Solar System Neighbors, Strolling on Jupiter and Venus Is Wet.
Since this trope is so ubiquitous, only Lampshade Hangings, subversions and aversions ought to be listed.

Watchmen has a single superhuman in the world, Dr. Manhattan. He teleported to Mars just to have some solitude (with his godlike powers, he has absolutely no problem surviving there), and later returned and teleported Laurie to Mars as well. But, being a normal human, Laurie almost died of suffocation on Mars, before Dr. Manhattan remembered that other people need to breathe and created an air bubble for her.

In Destiny:
Most of the planets you can visit in the solar system are relatively Earth-like (in that humans can walk around on them and breathe the atmosphere) but this was due to the Traveler going around and terraforming them.Venus, Mars, Io, and Titan, for example, are all inhabitable by humans, while Earth's Moon has at least some atmosphere. That said, each planet retains features from before its conversion. For example, Venus◊ is still a yellow planet with a thick atmosphere and strange weather patterns, but now it can support vast jungles and human cities. Mars◊ remains a red, sandy desert, but it's atmosphere is warm enough, thick enough, and breathable enough for humans. Io◊, despite being a tiny moon, was turned into a verdant green Earth-like world.
Mercury◊ was intended to be a very Earth-like world by the Traveler, but the Vex came along and converted the entire planet into a vast Vex machine. And while 7066 Nessus◊ looks Earth-like, only with red vegetation instead of green, the entire planet is another Vex machine world and it has an atmosphere intensely toxic to humans.

For most part, StarCraft averts this, as the vast majority of planets in the Koprulu Sector are said to be largely inhospitable to human life. In the original game, only Aiur appears to be anything close to an Earth-like planet, with most other planets supporting permanent human habitation depicted as semi-arid wastelands. According to the backstory presented in the manual, the colony ships were originally sent to colonize a habitable planet that was one year away from Earth, but ended up traveling blindly through space for twenty eight years when their navigation systems shut down. The supercomputer controlling the ships forced them to land on the nearest habitable planets before life support systems failed.
Expanded universe materials and the sequel game expand the number of Earth-like planets, with Umoja, Agria, and Meinhoff being notable examples. Korhal IV also used to be a nice place to live, but most of the planet was flattened by nuclear missiles before the start of the first game.

In the Homeworld series, while Hiigara falls under this trope, Kharak is only partly habitable, being a harsh desert planet that only the poles are comfortably habitable, while maintaining .98g gravity and breathable atmosphere. Justified in the fact that since the original Hiigarans were exiled there, the planet must've been chosen specifically as being harsh, but not too inhospitable. Except the prequel Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak reveals that Kharak is getting less habitable every year, with the great desert pushing back on the habitable areas at the poles. This is why the Northern Coalition is investing heavily in space travel. It's either space or extinction for them. The Gaalsiens don't agree, though, citing an ancient prophecy about the god Sajuuk raining death from above for transgressions (they're actually right, in a way).

Played straight in the Russian children's story "Journey to the Morning Star". Given that the story was written in 1960 and meant for kids, this is expected. The Lado system in the Coma Berenices constellation has three planets, all of which are (or were) Earth-like. The first planet, Aeo Tau (the titular "Morning Star"), is a virgin world full of prehistoric creatures such as dinosaurs. The second planet, Sino Tau ("Thunder Star") is a lush paradise with an advanced race of Human Aliens who are constantly at war with one another. The third planet, Etheri Tau ("Cold Star") is the oldest of the three and is no longer capable of supporting life, although it was once much like Aeo Tau. The Etherians are Human Aliens who have lived underground for thousands of years but must now relocate to Aeo Tau to survive. The warlike Sinots invoke The Right of a Superior Species and threaten any Etherian who sets foot on Aeo Tau with death.

Stars! (1995) averts the trope. Part of defining an alien race is specifying its ideal and habitable range for temperature, gravity, and radiation, which determines which planets your colonists can survive or thrive on.

In the "GOFOTRON" arc of Sluggy Freelance, the cast visits the Punyverse, Another Dimension consisting of about one hundred planets, all but a few of them inhabited, and packed together within easy traveling distance. The strip actually addresses the oddness of this, with Riff saying, "I've never seen a universe so ... deliberate." Later justified when it's revealed that the Punyverse did not evolve naturally, but was actually created for an alien science project.

While most human systems are inhabited in one way or another in Endless Sky, this trope is subverted, as most colonised planets are lacking in one way or another (high tectonic activity, frigid temperatures). Additionally, amongst the planets that are Earth-like, most have had to be Terraformed in one way or another.

The Empire Strikes Back:
It's not most definitely not a normal planet, but while the belly of the gigantic space slug lacks a breathable atmosphere, it apparently has normal gravity and pressure. Odd, as it's inside an asteroid in deep space. Han, Chewie, and Leia can walk around with only oxygen masks. Maybe the Millennium Falcon was able to extend its artificial gravity field or the asteroid field as a whole had some kind of atmosphere.
Bespin apparently has a breathable oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere despite being a gas giant. This is probably actually more realistic than the space slug incident; it's theoretically possible that a thin layer of breathable atmosphere could exist in the upper atmosphere of a gas planet and if it's Saturn-sized or smaller then the effective gravity in its upper atmosphere could be Earth-like. That'd be an incredibly convenient coincidence, but, well, the galaxy is a big place.

Averted in The Day the Earth Stood Still remake. Life-bearing worlds are so rare that the galactic races have agreed that no race must be allowed to destroy their world through pollution or war. Thus, if a race nears this stage, it must be "cleansed" from the planet, allowing this world to try again. Hence Klaatu's appalled reaction when the US Secretary of Defense calls Earth "our world," since the galactic races consider even the concept of a race owning their planet to be blasphemous.

Honor Harrington:
Played more or less straight, but there are subversions and at least one deconstruction. The Manticore system is extremely unusual for having three Earthlike planets (partly a result of the very large habitable zone created by its Binary Suns), and part of the Star Kingdom's backstory is that Manticore was so Earthlike that a native disease crossed the species barrier and killed the majority of the first wave of colonists. The creation of a constitutional monarchy and noble class was a solution for the survivors wanting to maintain political power over the replacements the colony recruited from offworld. Meanwhile Grayson looked Earthlike from a distance but turned out to have horrifically high concentrations of heavy metals. And San Martin's gravity is so high that people can't live at sea level because the atmosphere becomes dense enough to kill an unprotected human.
Done to extremes with the very Texas-like planet of Montana that just happens to have a lot of animals that are almost exactly like real Texas animals. And everyone is a stereotypical ornery cowboy. It was handwaved by describing it as a planet colonized by very Texan-like people determined to preserve stereotypical ornery cowboy lifestyle.

Averted in The Interdependency series. In the 1500 years humanity has explored the galaxy (although, to be fair, the number of systems is actually only 47 due to Hyperspace Lanes), only one Earth-like planet has been found. Every other world is either a barren rock or a gas giant. Oh, and the link to Earth itself was lost over a millennium ago. Thus, most of humanity lives aboard space stations or in domed cities, with only a few million living on End, the habitable world. In fact, most people are so used to living in controlled environments that they view End as a shithole, partly because it's so far away from Hub, the center of the Interdependency. With the looming collapse of the Hyperspace Lanes, End is liable to be the only human colony to survive because it doesn't need machines to support the population. Later on, though, it's revealed that habitable worlds are more common in other parts of the galaxy settled by humans, particularly in the Earth Empire and the Assembly.

Averted in the X-Universe. There are a fair number of Earthlike planets (most of which are colonized by the Argon), but plenty are decidedly not Earthlike and still inhabited. The Boron homeworld Nishala is an ocean planet with an ammonia atmosphere, and the Terrans' Lost Colony Aldrin is an airless planetoid that presumably uses pressure domes or the equivalent. The Terrans also have settlements on several objects in the Sol System other than Earth. And that's before you get into the many planets that are absolute uninhabitable hellholes covered in lava flows or what-have-you.

Averted in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri — Planet is called "earthlike" at the very beginning, yet some of the many problems you face in the course of colonizing Planet are the poisonous atmosphere (90% nitrogen rather than 78%, combining with higher gravity and a thicker atmosphere to give you nitrogen narcosis if you try to breathe it), inedible plantlife, and hostile (very, very hostile) native fauna. And the game doesn't hide the fact that even such "earthlike" planets are very rare.
The planet in the Creator-Driven Successor Civilization: Beyond Earth is also poisonous to humans. Instead of xenofungus, colonists have to deal with poison gases that can easily kill unprotected humans. There are three main approaches to dealing with the planet: Harmony (biologically modifying humans to survive there), Supremacy (turn humans into cyborgs who aren't as susceptible to the hostile environment), and Purity (aggressive Terraforming in order to make the new planet into a second Earth). The Rising Tide DLC adds hybrid approaches/affinities, explaining them as compromises.

Slingshot subverts this in that yes, most planets that people visit are earthlike, because why else would go there? Still, quite a few non-habitable planets like gas giants are mentioned, and the habitable planets tend to have different climates all over them. And then there are places like Itaipú, where it rains acid, but hey, the ground is so rich in copper that it's worth the hassle. At least for The Company, after all, who cares for the miners?

Averted in Odysseus Kosmos and His Robot Quest. There are only two planets of note in the Gargan-Hope binary system: Calcutta and Ithaca. Ithaca is an ice-covered lifeless rock, with the "ice" actually being composed of inert gases, not water. The surface temperature is only about 30 degrees above absolute zero. Calcutta is a super-Earth about 1.5 times the size of our planet. The average surface temperature is zero Celsius, and yet there's liquid water on the surface, which is probably the only reason the crew went down to investigate. Since Calcutta is close to Gargan, it experiences a lot of Time Dilation, to the point where minutes on the surface translate into years aboard the ship.

Cowboy Bebop dodges the bullet when it comes to climate because every single solid object in the Solar System has been terraformed to one degree or another. What doesn't make sense is the gravity, which is Earth-like in every inhabitable space. The main cast grew up on three different planets/moons with wildly varying gravity (Faye and Ed from Earth, Spike from Mars, and Jet from the Jovian moon Ganymedenote Mars and Ganymede have 38% and 15% of Earth's gravity), but there's no signs of it affecting their physical growth, their living space has a single simulated gravity, and none have trouble acclimating when they move between planets.

Averted for the most part in Junction Point. Humans can survive on Mulolowa for extended periods of time, but it's far colder than Earth, with a thinner atmosphere. Ktrit, by contrast, is a tidally locked nightmare of a planet where the gravity is five times stronger, the weather far more violent, and water boils at the equator when it's noon.

Star Trek (2009) has Delta Vega, close enough to Vulcan that it can be seen in Delta Vega's sky but the only inhabitants are two non-Vulcan personnel in a Starfleet base. You'd think the Vulcan's would have colonized this planet before developing the warp drive.

Invoked right at the start of With Strings Attached. After Varx offers to whisk Paul to another planet for adventure, Paul (who thinks he's dreaming) jokingly worries that he might be dropped on the Moon or some other inhospitable place. Varx assures him that they have an oxygen planet all picked out. Later, when the four go on the Vasyn quest, the three planets they visit are very Earthlike (one of them being an actual parallel Earth) but again, these were all picked out for them.

Warcraft only has three explicitly known planets, Azeroth, Draenor, and Argus, all of which are or were very earth-like. Draenor was ripped apart by magical experiments and drained of its life by demonic influence, which makes it a very alien place... with the exception of Nagrand, which somehow remained untouched. What else is left of the planet still qualifies as earth-like as far as this trope is concerned. Life is still possible (even though half of the zones have no water or any plantlife other than herbs, but that's more an issue of Gameplay and Story Segregation). However, the alternate Draenor players visit in Warlords of Draenor is set in the past before all the aforementioned planetary corruption happened and looks perfectly normal for the most part. Argus was turned into a smoldering Death World by the Burning Legion before being made into their central base planet, but flashbacks in Legion show that it used to be just as earth-like as Azeroth and Draenor.

Averted in The Expanse: You have all the planets in the solar system, of which only Earth is Earthlike. Once humanity gains access to the gate network they find lots of planets with life, none of which are 100% Earthlike. Ilus, the first planet we get a close-up of outside the solar system, has a breathable atmosphere but it's higher gravity, the local wildlife is inedible, and at least one lifeform has a fatal contact toxin by sheer coincidence.

This is demonstrated in the first book, Pandora's Star, where an exploration team finds a planet that appears to be H-congruous, but the planet is rejected when the discovery is made that every single plant on the planet shoots or secretes acid. Suspicions are raised when the survey team notices none of the animal life will stand still for any significant length of time on the local grass equivalent.

Stargate:
Stargate SG-1: Used liberally and frequently made fun of.
Most of the planets in the series are fairly Earth-like, though there are some exceptions where the team has to wear special space suits to explore them. This is explained as the Goa'uld (and before them, the Ancients) having terraformed the planets millennia in the past. And once again, Stargates are placed by once-humanlike Precursors who would have no reason to put one on a world that would kill you the second you exited. Some of them were once Earth-like, but have since suffered some sort of disaster that has rendered it uninhabitable.
And then, there are those examples where Planets are absurdly present-day Earth-like to the point where Ikea furniture would fit right in. Particularly common in later seasons and Stargate Atlantis.
Lampshaded in "Prodigy", when Carter's arrogant young cadet emerges from the Stargate and says, "So this is another planet? ... Doesn't look that different from home."
They actually played with/subverted this trope in the teaser for a Season 9 episode. Most of the alien worlds, as stated, look almost exactly like the woods around Vancouver so the audience wouldn't be too surprised to have an episode open with a Jaffa running through one of these alien forests... until he gets hit by a truck and you find out that he was on Earth All Along.
O'Neill takes a swipe at this (and at California Doubling) at one point. "Why do they always look like Canada?"
In "Heroes, Part 1", SG-13 is doing a standard recon mission, and the team leader Col. Dixon takes bets on what they're going to find on the planet. One of his mauve shirts pipes up with "trees". Dixon says he's "disqualified for being a smart-ass."
Double Subverted in Season 1's "Solitude" when Sam and Jack are trapped in an ice cave. Sam gets a look at the surface outside and declares it's an ice planet and there's no way out. In actual fact, they're on Earth, in Antarctica, which was a temperate zone when the Beta Gate was built there millions of years ago.
Stargate Universe averts this and Human Aliens by having most worlds visited barren and lifeless and mostly only good for picking up the one or two useful natural resources before moving on. And SGU is a good example of why this trope falls under Acceptable Breaks from Reality: barren rocks really aren't that interesting of a setting. However, sometimes the ship stops at a planet automatically, and the team will explore others that happen to be in range. The ship rarely stops at nasty ones, but with these others, you're rolling the dice. And as always, the then-humanlike builders of the gates and the ship have no reason to put gates on useless or deadly worlds.

Freelancer has roughly a 50/50 ratio of Earth-like planets and somehow uninhabitable worlds. On one hand, you have planets such as Cambridge or Stuttgart, full of fertile farmlands, or Cura, a planet full of heavenly beaches; but on the other hand, you also have planets like Pittsburgh, a barren, deserted wasteland punctuated with mines, or California Minor, a little frozen ball under terraforming.
Most of these planets are covered in rocky pine forests.

Played with in The Next Frontier. The Kerbals have two habitable bodies in their home solar system; the planet Kerbin and Laythe, moon of the gas giant Jool. That Laythe has liquid water at all much less an oxygen atmosphere is the product of a series of very improbable coincidences that surprised even the Kerbals themselves once they figured it out, so imagine their surprise when they send their first Faster Than Light starship to a nearby solar system, take some observations and find eleven planets and/or moons which have oxygen atmospheres. They draw the obvious conclusion: Terraforming. They're dead right, and boy, were they low-balling the number of inhabited planets...

Subverted in the CoDominium universe.
Life-bearing worlds are common, but they aren't always fully compatible with Earth life. Nonetheless, most have at least a few areas where very hardy humans can survive, albeit with high mortality rates (the poles of Fyrstaat and Tanith, the equator of Haven). A rare few, like Sparta, are nearly ideal for Earthlife, if slightly off in gravity and length of day. And some worlds, like New Caledonia, require extensive terraforming. The alien-inhabited Mote Prime requires respirators. The double-planet system of Franklin/New Washington required Earth plants to be genetically altered for the red sunlight.
"Haven", the setting of War World, is a case of Pournelle getting together with Niven and asking, "Exactly how horrible can we make a planet while still letting humans breathe the air?"

Macross Frontier:
Played with by the planet Gallian 4 that Alto and Sheryl go; it's described as a planet tidally locked towards the sun by a gas giant neighbor, making the extremities inhospitable.
The straight example is the Vajra homeworld, a Class-A planet virtually identical to Earth except for the three moons, and the Vajra nest/planet-sized rock formation that stretches up from gigantic pillars to form a huge ring around the equator. At the end of the series, Island 1 successfully lands on it, and the Frontier population start a new life there.

Macross:
The franchise as a whole actually plays this a bit more realistically than others: while humanity and its allies have spread through nearly half the galaxy, they have only found a relatively small number of already inhabitable worlds on which to form permanent colonies. So while Earth-like planets do exist, they are very rare, meaning that some colonization fleets have had to resort to terraforming less hospitable worlds instead. To make things more complicated, many of the most desirable Earth-like planets are already inhabited by native intelligent life.

In Arrivals from the Dark, the Orion Arm of the galaxy is divided between several galactic races, some of which have been in space for millennia, while one is known to have been star-faring for tens of thousands of years. Despite this, no race has more than a few hundred colonies. This is because habitable planets are few and far between. The Haptors have been in space for over three millennia and have about two hundred worlds. But their territory also includes thousands of systems they don't bother settling because they have no habitable planets. Humans have gotten good at terraforming barely habitable planets (after practicing on Mars), but it seems that only the Solar System has space habitats and domed cities on airless planets and moons (and only because many of those were built before humans got interstellar travel).

In the Dune universe there presumably are plenty of non-Earthlike worlds, but they're not mentioned because nobody lives there. The least Earthlike world is Dune/Arrakis itself, and people only live there because it's the only place Spice is found. Salusa Secundus is apparently a fairly close second, and it's used as a prison planet and training/recruiting ground for the Emperor's Sardaukar shock troops.

Subverted in the Halo series. It's revealed in the expanded universe that it often takes decades of terraforming to make a colony world suitable for human use. There's also an outright aversion in the Grunt homeworld, which has a methane atmosphere. That said, there are plenty of planets that play this fairly straight too, even if they have an extra moon/sun or two.

From Mass Effect 2 onward, most of the planets you visit are at least partially Earthlike. Key word being visit: you only ever touch down on planets with some kind of habitation, even if it's just a tiny mercenary resupply point. Also, the Blood Pack have a base set up on a world that's filled with gas that's toxic to all your crew members but the Vorcha can live there fine. The reason there aren't nearly as many inhospitable worlds visited past the first game is because the open-world exploration was mostly removed.

Mass Effect notably averts this; the vast majority of the planets encountered are actually very hostile to human (or most) lifeforms. This makes those inhabitable worlds that can be found all the more valuable.
"Vast majority" here meaning that only three planets shown in the first game are safe for humans, in a game that shows around a hundred. Most of the planets you visit require spacesuits and sealed environments for survival, and sometimes not even your Powered Armor/space suit will keep you alive for very long. The 80%+ of planets you don't visit are often even more inhospitable.
It's also noted on the info screens for several planets note that what makes them unsuitable for humans make them perfect for volus/hanar/elcor etc.
A few planets actually are more like subversions, too. Like Nodacrux, the planet with a much higher oxygen concentration than Earth's. It's enough for humans to feel plenty comfortable, like being in a hyperbaric chamber... but it makes thunderstorms absolutely devastating to anything they catch in their path, and vegetation goes up like tinder in amounts that make the California wildfires look like campfires. Not to mention huge insects and plants that give off pollen that causes death by allergy in seconds.
Even planets that humans actively colonize aren't all Earthlike. Eden Prime, which you visit at the beginning of the game, is pretty close to Earth, except for its sixty-four hour days.

Mass Effect: Andromeda is basically about the main character trying to find an actual Earth-like planet for galactic colonization, after all the scanned "Golden Worlds", supposedly Earth-like planets, turned out to be Death Worlds. Later on in the game, the earthlike-ness turns out to have been because a group of sufficiently advanced aliens went to a lot of trouble to make them nice and cozy for their own ends.

The planet Fiorina from Alien³ has breathable air but no inhabitants bar a few inmates on a mostly closed down prison. The fact that they terraformed somewhere like LV-426 implied that inhabitable planets were rare in this setting.

And in Avatar. The atmosphere has plenty of oxygen, it's just that we can't breathe the atmosphere because the composition of the other elements in the atmosphere more resembles the Earth during the Permian extinction — a whopping 18% carbon dioxide; trying to breathe that is like trying to breathe with a plastic bag over your head, and 0.1% hydrogen sulfide, which is extremely toxic to humans at even half that amount, being capable of damaging the mucous linings in the lungs. The Na'vi, along with every other land animal, are able to breathe in this environment despite it being hostile to the vast majority of earth-like life because the Pandoran life actually evolved there. Additionally, just about every plant or animal is inedible/toxic to humans. The low gravity is also why everything is so much bigger on Pandora; it can afford to be, on account of the lower gravity.

Phineas and Ferb is especially odd — even Mars is Earth-like enough for the human characters to survive, not to mention an asteroid that had air and normal Earthly gravity. Of course, the latter had a milkshake bar on it, so presumably the aliens terraformed it in some way. (It Makes Sense in Context. Sort of.)

In the old Star Trek game for the NES, players could technically only land on planets with breathable atmospheres, but all that it actually meant is that the designers only made planets with oxygenated atmospheres. The rest are just there as a backdrop.

Galactic Civilizations II, with all of its expansions in, finally adds toxic, ocean, high grav, barren and other world types. However, you can research technologies to colonise all of them.
Except possibly on the highest "usable worlds" setting, nearly all of the worlds you encounter are not only not earthlike but completely uninhabitable quality 0 gas giants or tiny balls of scorched or frozen rock. Although there are weird mega-events that occasionally roll through and turn an entire system into medium to high quality potential colonies, regardless of the size or nature of the planets.

The Ellimist Chronicles features the interesting case of the Ketrans. Their home planet features giant floating crystals (upon which the Ketrans live) above acid oceans and an atmosphere that seems to consist mainly of hydrogen. When their home planet is invaded they flee in a newly built spacecraft to search for a new home, assuming that All Planets Are Ket Like. But, as anyone familiar with the Animorphs verse knows, the truth is that All Planets Are Earth-Like, and thus inhospitable to Ketrans.

In BattleTech, 'Earthlike' is variable. No planet is exactly like Earth in terms of comfort for humans, which is commented on by those who are lucky enough actually travel there. Most of the settled worlds are fairly close, though there are wild exceptions, like the domed cities of Sirius V (the atmosphere is poisonous), or Tharkad, the Lyran capital, which is in a serious Ice Age (though contrary to persistent fan rumor, it is not completely frozen and does have an equatorial tropical band, something the writers take pains in pointing out on multiple occasions). Justified in that Humans would naturally pick the Earth-like planets to settle first.
The Star League in its heyday did in fact do rather a lot of terraforming and other mega-engineering projects. Then the Succession Wars started and military budgets took priority over such expensive flights of fancy and massive terraforming projects stopped.

Downplayed in Alien Biospheres. While Biblaridion does make Tira pretty Earth-like to make it easier to come up with organisms, he adds some unique twists such as lower gravity, extra hydrogen sulfide in the atmosphere, and a larger moon resulting in larger tides.

While it seems to be the case in The History of the Galaxy with several hundred human colonies in known space, that number is only a tiny fraction of the total number of colony ships sent out during the Exodus. According to the author's website, that number is 7023. This means that the vast majority of those ships never found a habitable planet to settle. In fact, humanity's very first extrasolar colony ship Alpha ended up in a system with a barely habitable planet and had to implant colonists with metabolism adjusters that drastically reduced their lifespans, just so they could survive on the surface. One planet is known for being entirely covered in ice. The colonists there had to build marvelous subglacial cities that are now largely empty once contact with other, nicer colonies was reestablished. One novel mentions that anyone, who finds an unsettled habitable world, can expect to retire incredibly wealthy on the finder's fee alone. In recent years, corporations are starting to settle new worlds with machines in order to build up colonies and prepare planets for settlers (i.e. terraform them).

Averted in Star Trek: The Original Series. The planet Elba II had a poisonous atmosphere that would kill humans breathing it before very long, "The Way to Eden" had a planet that was technically habitable (right sunlight and air quality), but all the flora excreted a deadly acid, and the fruit was lethal.
The TOS Writer's Guide acknowledged this trope right from the start: the formal orders to the captain of the Enterprise found therein contained instructions that the ship would mostly confine its operations to Class-M planets, though the ship did, of course, carry spacesuits.

Sliders, which dealt with Earths in parallel universes, mentioned once or twice that the nature of the wormhole would keep it from dropping the heroes in universes that were patently incompatible with human life. Or inside rocks. Although it did once briefly drop them on an Earth that was covered completely with fire. Of course, they were standing in the one safe spot, and the fire was alive and followed them.

In Futurama, the only non-Earthlike planets shown so far are a few moons and asteroids without atmospheres, and one high-gravity (but otherwise Earthlike) planet. Even the world with three giant suns, apart from being a bit warm at full noon, was perfectly livable to humans.

Many of the planets and moons in Orion's Arm are rather earthlike, but it justifies it in that most of them were terraformed in some way. However even if you include the terraformed planets they are still greatly outnumbered by the non earthlike planets in this universe, ultimately making this an aversion. The non earthlike planets in Orion's Arm can be anything from dead rock worlds, to planets covered in atmospheres of strange gasses and pressures, yet thriving with (non earthlike) life.

Averted in Rocketship X-M, ironically enough given the movies' massive Hollywood Science. Scenes on Mars were filmed in California's Death Valley, which NASA latter used to test equipment due to be used on Mars because of its similarity. However aircraft pressure suits and breathing masks are all that's needed to walk around in, rather than the full spacesuits.

The Misfits (Warhammer 40,000): The impact that even minor differences from Earth that apparently habitable alien planets have becomes a major plot point. The planets of the Storm Ravens chapter's home system, Octalia, contain extremely low levels of potassium, so the government needs to import supplements from other star systems. This allows the Big Bad to incite a revolt by exposing the fact that the government has been skimming from the supplement fund and allowing the lower classes to suffer potassium deficiency.

Mostly averted in Kerbal Space Program — since it's based on the real solar system, only the third planet from the sun, "Kerbin," is Earth-like. The rest of the planets and moons are lifeless, and many don't even have atmospheres. However, Laythe, one of the gas giant's moons, conveniently has oxygen (which can only exist in a planet's air for long periods if it's constantly replenished by plant life) so that jet engines will function.

Darths & Droids tries to explain this trope as applied to Star Wars. When unexpectedly asked about what Naboo is like, the Game Master automatically responds: "Um... Earth-like?", and the players notice that it's "convenient". Later, when they approach Tatooine, they ask the GM if it's "conveniently Earth-like again", and he hastily assures them that it's a planet-wide desert. Only, for the purposes of this trope, it's still Earth-like enough.
"So it's Mad Max World?"
Later subverted somewhat with Naboo, as well, as they figure out that, while it may have an Earth-like surface, its geology would have to be radically different from ours for some of the things they do in the game to be possible.

Played with in the Antares series: most star systems resemble Sol, with a single habitable planet. There are no named uninhabitable solid planets. However, it is implied that just like Sol, there are a number of uninhabitable solid planets in most systems — New Providence, for instance, is identified as the seventh planet in the Napier system. Presumably, the other planets are simply unimportant.

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time is guilty. Although there are a variety of planets not suitable for humans to live on (or those where it'd be very difficult for them to thrive), the main party always conveniently lands on one where they can breathe the air and move around comfortably despite any effects of the gravitational fields.

In the '90s X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon, a passing Shiar ship was bored that they had to map out a section of the universe filled with uninhabited worlds. This was the section that Dark Phoenix fried. Note, this is more of a case of softening her Face–Heel Turn, as in the original comics she did destroy inhabited worlds; and some people consider that unforgivable.

Fallen Dragon, by Peter F. Hamilton, averts this trope as well. There's no planet completely suited for human life. For all of them, extensive terraforming is required before sending in the colonists. Amethi was a frozen world with very little atmosphere when the first settlers came, and a scene depicts the startled reactions of a bunch of children who see a cloud for the first time. On Thallspring the soil bacteria and other biota make it necessary for the MegaCorp running the colonization efforts to clear out all life in large swaths of land via periodic orbital gamma laser "soaks", in preparation for colony expansion. The process is stated to kill all bacteria down to a few meters underground. Santa Chico has a very high oxygen content, and its biosphere is a biochemical and medical goldmine, which is why the colonists modified themselves to adapt and eventually began using Organic Technology, only to revert to an agrarian society of bizarre xenophobic Furries once they grew bored with the Mega Corps periodically plundering their planet.

Confirmed and subverted in the Perry Rhodan series. The Milky Way –- rather the whole universe –- is full of Earth-like planets, often to be settled by Terran or related colonists. But it's also full of hot and heavy planets suitable for hydrogen-breathers, though oxygens-breathers and hydrogen-breathers rarely interact in day-to-day life. Also, many of of the earth-like planets have extreme environments, requiring genetic modification from the settlers. Though there are hundreds of heavy-gravity worlds with extreme climates that are being settled „naturally“ by one offshoot of humanity, whose ancestors got mofidicated once.

Pitch Black: It's a desert planet, obviously hotter than hot. How it supports such an oxygen rich, earth-like atmosphere complete with rain is never explained.
The sequel features improbabilities such as Crematoria; indeed, the fact that the "most hostile" planet by Riddick's own account still sports a breathable atmosphere and earth gravity suggests that there may be no celestial bodies devoid of atmosphere.

While Endless Space probably has more Earth-like planets than would be possible in Real Life, there are also a lot more planets that are inhospitable, although colonization is possible after extensive research. Even terraforming may be possible closer to the end of that research branch, although gas giants and asteroid belts (which can also be colonized) can never be turned into hospitable planets.

It's an aversion if the human characters have to wear space suits (or at least respirators) when on the surface, as with LV-426 in Alien. However, the sequel plays it straight; this is handwaved by having a terraforming station having been set up on the planet since the events of the first film.

Warhammer 40,000 averts this trope pretty impressively. The Imperium of Man classifies planets into several different categories, some of which are Earthlike. Even within a category there is enough variation that most planets aren't a Single-Biome Planet. And being the kind of universe it is, most of the settled planets are not, in fact, habitable. The Imperium seems to absolutely love settling worlds that humans can't actually expect to survive on.

Space: Above and Beyond uses Earthlike planets in some episodes (the war with the Chigs starts when they destroy a pair of Earth colonies on extrasolar Earthlike planets), but the majority of planets visited don't have atmospheres breathable by humans and the Chigs require a different mix of gases altogether. Then the Grand Finale reveals this to be false. The Chigs can actually breathe the same air as humans, they've just gone out of their way to keep their real appearance hidden... for reasons. They actually claim that they come from the same primordial DNA as all life on Earth, having been spread to their homeworld by Panspermia.

Stargate Universe averts this and Human Aliens by having most worlds visited barren and lifeless and mostly only good for picking up the one or two useful natural resources before moving on. And SGU is a good example of why this trope falls under Acceptable Breaks from Reality: barren rocks really aren't that interesting of a setting. However, sometimes the ship stops at a planet automatically, and the team will explore others that happen to be in range. The ship rarely stops at nasty ones, but with these others, you're rolling the dice. And as always, the then-humanlike builders of the gates and the ship have no reason to put gates on useless or deadly worlds.

Used with twists in The Citizen Series: uninhabitable planets are simply ignored by the characters due to the nature of Faster-Than-Light Travel involving transiting into and out of the Continuum directly onto planet surfaces (or into the atmosphere). Even then there's variety: Nengue is volcanic and only marginally habitable, settled only to support a trading post between the Cutter Stream and the Riders. Mudball is geologically inert and has nothing but single-celled life (fortunately, most of it is photosynthetic algae so the atmosphere is breatheable). Allenson also once endures miserable conditions besieged during a monsoon season on a perfectly Earthlike planet.

Doctor Who:
Nearly every alien planet ever featured on the show has Earth-normal gravity and atmosphere.
The First Doctor serial "The Web Planet" has the distinction of being set fully in an alien galaxy, with (aside from the Doctor and his companions) a full insectoid supporting cast and environment. The Earthlings (and Gallifreyans) did not wear space suits, but at times did suffer from weakness owing to the difference in atmospheric composition.
It was parodied in the First Doctor serial "The Daleks' Master Plan", when the Doctor was nervous about the effect of poisonous gases in the atmosphere of a city on his companions. It turned out to be an industrial city Oop North, and the gases were just then-normal levels of air pollution.
In the Second Doctor serial "The Moonbase", the characters wore special atmosphere suits to explore the Earth's Moon. They were never seen again. The show's writers most likely did it because it was set somewhere that the viewing audience already knew didn't have a breathable atmosphere.
Space suits showed up again much, much later, in the Tenth Doctor story "The Impossible Planet"/"The Satan Pit". He didn't make them on his own though, but borrowed them.
In the Tenth Doctor episode "Midnight", the title planet is totally unlivable (except it turns out it isn't, but that's beside the point); it's apparently one big lump of crystal with no atmosphere and a star that emits very deadly rays. But Professor Hobbes goes on about this like it's remarkable for a star system NOT to support life.
The Doctor's spacesuit makes a return in "The Waters of Mars", set guess where.
The Eleventh Doctor is seen using the same suit again in "Hide", though equipped with a brand new helmet design this time around. He wears it on Earth, at the beginning and end of its existence.
The Twelfth Doctor breaks out the spacesuits again in "Kill the Moon", for obvious reasons.
In Series 10, the Twelfth Doctor and company go to Mars, so naturally they wear spacesuits — a new design this time.

In Stroker and Hoop the detectives encounter an elaborate con with a woman pretending to be an alien needing sapphires to return to her home planet "Sapphiria". Turns out she really is an alien and needs sapphires. At the end, one of the detectives crash lands on an alien planet, sees a jogging alien and immediately tries the same con, claiming to be from the planet "Goldia" and he needs gold. In a few seconds he says "Wait, this isn't oxygen" and collapses.

Subverted in Earth 2160. The game takes place on a number of celestial bodies in the Solar System and around the nearby stars (one mission takes place on a very large comet), but of these, only 2 planets are actually suited for human habitation. One of the is a desert planet reminiscent of the one in Stargate (complete with ancient alien pyramids), while the other is a very Earthlike planet called Eden. The main characters are visibly surprised when they see a video from the surface, and some even suspect that it's actually old Earth footage.
All of the above locations are made a bit less pleasant by the Morphidian presence.

The Beta Caeli system in Alien Legacy has not one but two Earth-like planets, named after the Greek goddesses/Titanesses Rhea (mother of the gods) and Gaea (earth goddess). Gaea is the third planet like Earth but lacks a satellite. Despite this, it has plant and animal life, even though it would be difficult for them to evolve without tides. Rhea is the second planet like Venus but has the same conditions and even life forms as Gaea. The game implies the presence of a Moon-sized satellite prevented a Venus-like greenhouse effect. The rest of the planets are similar to Solar System planets. All planets (including satellites and asteroids) except for gas giants are colonizable. However, the late-game reveal that the two habitable planets were seeded by the H'riak may imply that this is not a natural occurance. The existence of the Centaurians also implies a habitable planet in the Alpha Centauri system, although whether it's habitable for humans is anyone's guess, as nothing is known about the Centaurians except that they're Absolute Xenophobes.

Battlestar Galactica (2003) and its spin-off series Caprica zig-zag this trope. As depicted in the two series and the semi-canon poster map the Twelve Colonies themselves are all Earth-like to varying degrees; habitability ranges from pleasant worlds like Caprica and Leonis to more inhospitable ones like Aquaria (a planet-sized Antarctica) and Libran (overwhelmingly hot jungle). There are also references to moons and planets from the First Cylon War that apparently have snakes and other creepy-crawlies, so they are presumably Earth-like as well. Outside of the Twelve Colonies, however, the galaxy is a much more barren place. Throughout a journey covering thousands of light years, the Fleet encounters only five other Earth-like worlds of varying habitability: Kobol (original homeworld of the Twelve Tribes), New Caprica, the Algae Planet, Earth (home of the Thirteenth Tribe) and the second Earth, which is settled in the finale.

In Spore, all the planets are rocky and have plant life (albeit some very bizarre ones) on them. Justified, as each planet is where your creature will live and evolve. This trope is utterly averted in the Wide-Open Sandbox Space Stage, where most planets are T0 inhospitable rocks, and the few life-bearing planets are mediocre T1. A nice naturally-occurring T3 planet is fantastically rare. If you want a nice planet, you'll need to Terraform it.

Cleanly avoided in the Star Carrier series. There are Earthlike planets out there, as indicated by the Sh'daar numerical designation for humanity including our preferred atmosphere and the fact that the Agletsch don't seem to have a problem with it, but they are few and far between. Only two human-settled alien worlds allow the colonists to survive unprotected: Osiris and Vulcan (which happens to be located exactly where Star Trek's Vulcan is supposed to be), and of the two, only Vulcan has edible native life (Osiris has Mirror Chemistry). Unfortunately, one of the hostile races humanity later encounters has evolved on an Earth-like world (even though they look like large balls with dozens of mouths) and is capable of digesting terrestrial life forms... including humans.

Stellaris does have planets that aren't inhabitable, such as gas giants, "barren worlds" (including Mars, asteroids, most moons), and toxic worlds. And inhabitable planets themselves are divided into eleven types (Earth is "continental") and species favor the same type of planet they were native to, though populations can be genetically modified to favor different planet types and inhabitable planets can be terraformed into different types.
Of particular note are Gaia Worlds, which are somehow 100% inhabitable to everyone and are considered "holy" by Spiritualists, though implied to be produced by Precursor terraforming projects (or the player when they unlock the late-game tech). And Tomb Worlds, which are nuclear wastelands inhospitable to everyone not native to such planets.

GURPS Space arguably goes too far in the other direction.

Star Control 2 averts this trope: it has at least 50 types of planets. The kinds that support (humanoid) life are rare; many — not all — races come from home planets of these types (and among them (water worlds as are known there) are included those with temperatures so high that their water is as water vapor as well as those so cold their water is frozen). Each type has common characteristics — likely minerals, ranges of size and strength of gravity, tectonics, and so on. All but gas giants can be landed on and explored via Lander vehicles.

All the inhabited worlds in Firefly were deliberately terraformed, though they each have their little quirks. The core planets, which have been extensively terraformed, are comfortably temperate in climate. The rim planets, where all the poor people live, tend to be a bit more on the arid side (which helps with the general Space Western aesthetic of the show).

Forthorthe in INVADERS of the ROKUJYOUMA!? is largely identical to Earth. Humans can eat its food, drink its water and breathe its air without a problem (and Forthortheans can do the same on Earth). When Koutarou is suddenly transported there, he initially doesn't realise that he's on an alien planet. Forthorthe does have fantasy creatures like dragons, though.

Mass Effect: Andromeda is basically about the main character trying to find an actual Earth-like planet for galactic colonization, after all the scanned "Golden Worlds", supposedly Earth-like planets, turned out to be Death Worlds. Later on in the game, the earthlike-ness turns out to have been because a group of sufficiently advanced aliens went to a lot of trouble to make them nice and cozy for their own ends.

In Dragon Ball Z, someone steps blithely out onto the surface of an alien world without even bothering to test the atmosphere, and is chastised for it. In fairness though, those someones tend to be Saiyans, half-Saiyans, a Namek, androids and so on — Krillin is the only human. All the main characters possess an array of superpowers too, and they only spend a prolonged time on two alien worlds in canon — Namek (which, since there are at least two Namekians living on Earth, presumably has a similar atmosphere) and King Kai's planet, which has some connection to the Afterlife, so atmosphere shouldn't really be a problem.
It's unconfirmed whether it's this trope or Batman Can Breathe in Space that makes the Saiyan unaffected by different atmospheres.

The Star Trek: Voyager episode "Displaced" introduces the Nyrian. Like the Cardassians, the standard settings on a human ship are too bright and cold for them. They turn out to be hostile, and trap different species in prisons with environments specific to them. One of which is a frozen wasteland, presumably that species' planet is not Earth-like. Another species is indicated to come from a desert like planet (he comments that their prison is a lot "greener" than his).

In Rimworld, all the procedurally generated planets are suggested to have been terraformed and seeded with Earth lifeforms (though some are genetically modified) at some point long before your settlers crashland on them. Also, crashlanding on an airless rock would make for a really short and uninteresting game. The game averts Single-Biome Planet (though there are apparently plans to implement them in future builds) as there are a number of biomes to play in: a band of Temperate Forestnote fertile deciduous forest with pleasant summers and cold winters, plentiful flora and fauna and comfortable living runs across the northern hemisphere, giving way to Arid Scrublandnote sun-baked grassland with the odd scattered grove, hot summers and cool winters, plants and animals here are hardy and your settlers will have to be too, Desertnote extremely dry and hot with little sign of life anywhere, scorching summers and cold winters, arable soil is difficult to find and Tropical Junglenote thick and moist jungle filled with dangerous animals and disease, very hot summers and winter isn't much better in the south, and Boreal Forestnote brooding forests of coniferous trees, very cold winters but summers can be pleasantly warm, growing season is quite short so make it count, Tundranote snow-coatedd plains home to large herds of migratory grazers and little else, very cool summers and freezing winters, growing crops here may be impossible without hydroponics and Ice Sheetnote arctic conditions with permafrost kilometres thick in places, below freezing practically all year round, most food must come from hunting, trade or cannibalism in the north.

Averted in Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles, on Pluto, Hydora, Tophet, Zephyr, and Klendathu the Roughnecks need to wear pressurized suits, the only planets with shirtsleeve environments are Earth and Tesca. And T'Phai, a Tophet native who joins the squad after that campaign, needs to wear his own pressure suit off his homeworld.

Averted by Babylon 5: the titular station has segments that rotate at different rates to simulate the gravities of various resident alien races, and entire sections dedicated to non-oxygen-breathers. There are even special toilet facilities for methane breathers! B5 was one of the first science fiction series on television to not immediately assume that aliens were capable of breathing oxygen and speaking English. On the other hand, there are some species, such as the Soul Hunters, who can process both nitrogen-oxygen and alien atmospheres.

Space 1889 Mercury, Venus, Mars and the moon can all support human life quite easily (if not necessarily comfortably), although only Mars has any sort of civilization on it — Mercury has only very basic life, such as trilobites, Venus has sentient lizardmen, although they are only at stone age level. Mars has an ancient civilization based around their canals, although they have lost the technology necessary to build new canals or even to maintain their cities. The Moon can also support life, although there is no atmosphere on the surface — it only exists nearer to the Moon's core.

Voltes V: Played with in the case of Boazania. It's basically 17th-century France IN SPACE!, but the Boazanians are a Higher-Tech Species and thus have flying cars and advanced spacecraft. The Boazanians themselves are Human Aliens, except some have horns and some don't, and the ones that do look down on the ones that don't.

Star Trek: The Next Generation may have had the ultimate subversion: Earth, 3.5 billion years ago, just prior to the first protein being formed by two amino acids. Presumably, if not for Q's abilities, Jean Luc Picard couldn't have breathed on that surface.
