And lately, fans have wondered why filming in Dr. Now’s office takes so long to complete.
In one Facebook group, fans debated why there’s a clear time shift between patients entering Dr. Now’s practice and when they leave.
“Why is it always light when they go into Dr. Now’s and dark outside then they get done?” the original poster asked. Other group members had no shortage of opinions. One thought that filming might take place after normal business hours for the sake of confidentiality.
