   You're far too stuck on how a "normal" TV show is done. This isn't a   
   "normal" TV show - it's a George Lucas independant production, so none   
   of the "normal" rules and procedures apply. We simply don't know enough   
   yet about how the show will be broadcast (daily, weekly, etc.) or what   
   it is about.   
      
   There might be 4 crews, there might be 50 crews, who knows at this   
   point, but that was only one example of how Young Indy speeded up the   
   process and cut costs. Other ways include filming ALL the scenes (even   
   if in different episodes) needed at a particular location in one go so   
   that you don't have to keep going back there.
