Two pilots were shot, both included on the season one boxset....the unaired pilot had the Character Donald Bluesky as Marie's Manager and it didn't seem right to have her involved with her boyfriend & manager, also a different more ethnic father (ABC's words) so a second pilot was shot, Donald was just her boyfriend and she had a new casted father and it has been part of the syndication package ever since.

Also, the whole "Don Bluesky" to play on his character's(at the time) Cherokee heritage. It's fine if they wanted to make him native. But, with a last name like that he would have to be at least half Cherokee but he was too light haired and fair skinned. Plus the whole "firewater" crack was a bit non-PC.
