Can you imagine doing this every single week? Before videotape changed the business, sets weren’t just moved — they were built and struck daily, a nonstop cycle of carpentry, lighting, scenic resets, and controlled chaos that defined early television production. Fortunately, I think this set up is for the next quarter of production.
This time‑lapse video celebrating The Bold and the Beautiful’s 7,000th episode is a perfect tribute. Shot inside The Bradley P. Bell Stage 31 at CBS Television City, it captures the behind‑the‑scenes ballet of crews transforming the stage from bare floor to full production. BTW, the image at the top is an artist rendering of the TVC stages early on, and all except for Studio 33, all of the stage/audience areas have been filled with flat floors for much more room.
