Was at pawn shop during filming of Pawn Queens the other day

So they film for 125 days for a 30min show that is really 22mins allowing time for commercials.

He was referring, I believe, to a season.

Also, consider that 8 hours of filming with 4 cameras is 32 hours of film. And after production, some lucky editor gets to watch every single frame.

So, if a single episode follows a typical 8 hour shift, they may have 32 hours of film to whittle down to 20 mins and change, accounting for titles and bumpers.
