that isn't particularly rare. A few weeks ago EW ran a story about writers and how as the season winds through, they are constantly writing the episodes at breakneck speed. 24 especially is tight, the writers complains/brags that he has no idea how the season will end until he halfway through the airing of the episodes. I don't think any network buys more than 13 episodes the first year, they always want the opportunity to end it at 13 if things go wrong.
I once wanted to work on a series, but its horrid. writing for 2 days, table reading for a day, rehearsal one day, and shoot the last day. Its ridiculous and fun, but you are always being handed pages in different colors to mark the drafts.
