Wasn't there an unaired pilot that was basically episode one only with a different Joanie? Maybee they'll put it on a season 2 set as an extra.

It WAS aired actually, but as a "Love American Style" episode.

I'd really like to see that, because it's basically the only HD episode I havent already seen.

I know about the Love American Style one. This isn't what I'm refering to. I'm refering to the one that had the regular cast with Tom Bosley, Fonzie, Ralph, and was the All The Way episode with the different Joanie(different even from the LAS Joanie) and a couple scenes like the dinner scene slightly longer.

There is an unaired pilot episode that does have the regular cast members with the exception of Joanie. If you have the season 1 dvd, most of the scene differences were restored in that episode on dvd, such as the longer dinner scene, and the chess scene. The other noticeable difference are the beginning and ending credits are altered. From what I know about this episode, Erin Moran had not yet signed her contract, so they used a stand in for her part. From what I remember, they don't even mention the girl's name in the credits, as she barely had 3 lines in the episode.

Didn't that Love American Style episode also have a different actor playing Mr. C?

Yes. Harold Gould played the part of Howard.
