question about a length of a show

i m new so bear with me. i have a half-hour show i want to make myself but i only can probaly get 12-14 hours work from production, actors, and so-on because we all have regular jobs. so my question is how long does it usually take to make a half hour show?
 
It all depends upon the amount of preproduction & rehearsal, the number & complication of the set-ups and the talent, dedication & skill of the cast and crew. I worked on a one set 10 minute short that came out really well where the shoot was Saturday 8am to midnite and Sunday 11am to 9pm.
 
I think a safe bet is a weekend, thats what I did and I think my short will end up crossing the 30minute mark. Mind you it was my first time, I'm sure later short films will be better quality in that time or longer.
