There’s an entire thread over at the TBBT wiki devoted to finding the exact spot the shot outside L&S’s apartment was taken from. (No link. Dude, you have better things to do with your time.)

TBBT geography is a hopeless mess. The address is well north of Colorado Blvd, but within a very short walking distance of a mythical gas station on it. But the zoom out at H&B’s wedding and the apartment view place it S of Colorado.

It’s like the entire show fell thru some sort of wormhole.

Note when watching a stairwell scene how the dialogue and laugh track blend together correctly. It’s magical how the “live” audience manages to get the timing right despite the set changes required to film the scene.

> I’m guessing that having the $1mil/episode stars change clothes & redo makeup is far more expensive and time consuming than having a few $20/hr set dressers run around. From the gif that **JoeyP** posted it looks like about a 20 minute job - change some crap on the doors, add/remove a plant, change the tape and change the doormats.

I attended a taping a few years ago and they do it much faster than that. It’s not just one set dresser making the changes and it only took a few minutes, each time.
