Most TV shows budget for 12 hours and go up from there. Because of SAG and other union rules some groups have 10 or 12 hours off guaranteed, otherwise very substantial $$ penalties. As a result, most shows start on Monday at 7 AM, on Tuesdays at 9 AM and so on.
It's not uncommon for them to start on Fridays at 4PM for stage work and work till 6 AM. Also, Friday and Saturday nights are the only time we can close streets and freeways for driving/car crash work. So sometimes I end up working at night.
