Do they rent out a bar for a hour or do they have studios built for all that?

here's how it works.... the script is broken down to shots and numbered... then the heads of department have a meeting after going over the script and break it down per department...
the location manager will pick all the locations needed, while props blah blah blah takes care of their end and so forth....
so now it's 2 crews working.... the rigging crew and the shooting crew.. and the B roll sometimes...B roll is stuff dropped between scenes like a freeway shot or helicopter shot or maybe a slow city or country pan etc...
the rigging crew go first and lays in the power, the lights and some other bothersome stuff... they split and the shooting crew come in and works with actors etc while the rigging crew is setting up the next location. when the shooting crew is done the rigging crew swings back and breaks the set down and moves on to what's next on the list... crews that can shoot 7-10 pages of a scripts a day are kicking ass... figure 1 hour episodic scripts are 45 pages.... most shows shoot an episode in 7-8 days...
