What shows do you think showed the best pilot?

I think Three's Company, Different Strokes, and Friends

I think The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, The Munsters, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, The Brady Bunch, Mary Tyler Moore, Laverne & Shirley, Three's Company, and Mork and Mindy

NewsRadio (1995) The plot was funny with a great introduction to the cast.

Andy Richter Controls the Universe (2002) Although not the funniest episode of the whole show, definatly served the purpose it intended to. It introduced the characters and made me laugh at the same time.

Taxi (1978) An emotional pilot where Alex is reunited with his daughter after many years. It also manages to be funny and shows all the characters and their lives.

Three's Company (1977) A funny episode with a hilarious scene involving Mr. Roper demanding that a woman (whom he thinks is Jack) take off her clothes.

Cheers- The pilot was great because he showed how Cheers was such a friendly bar. It was also really funny. It's definitely one of my favorite episodes of the whole show.

The Cosby Show - It was funny and held your attention

Family Ties

Alice

Hogan's Heroes- Great way to introduce the boys and their operation. A little odd having Klink be harsh though.

I Dream of Jeannie- again, a great way to intro the characters and the plight Tony would go thru for another 5 years.

Adam-12- Right away, it established the main point of the show and Pete and Jim's relationship.

While I would have loved to say "Curb Your Enthuisiasm", I wasn't too thrilled with the Original Pilot or the show's 1st episode "The Pants Tent".They just don't do the series justice IMO.
