View Full Version : Best Pilot episode nimrod_86 03-16-2003, 02:14 AM What would you say is the best pilot episode? I would have to say Dinosaurs-The Mighty Meglalosarous or King of the Hill-Pilot, they were both awsome. Unwanted Angel 03-16-2003, 03:07 AM Three's Company and 8 simple rules had awsome piolts...

It won an emmy aswell.:) BLT 03-20-2003, 04:13 PM Get Smart TheLurkerKing 03-28-2003, 03:41 PM Would you believe . . . another vote for "Get Smart." dawsongirl 03-28-2003, 05:56 PM Hogan's Heroes I Dream of Jeannie Chico and the Man Futurama Adam-12 Route 66 (1960) TheSC 03-31-2003, 02:28 PM I'm gonna go out on a limb and say: Lost at Home Spin City and Dharma and Greg were great too PinkCutieK 03-31-2003, 08:17 PM 8 SIMPLE RULES! lol and...uhm....according to jim! LucyFan 04-01-2003, 01:22 AM The best pilot ever for a comedy series I think is either Three's Company or Laverne and Shirley because both shows introduced the characters with an established storyline that provided all-out comedy from start to finish. Also, they were consistently funny and had hilarious results!

Griffin 04-05-2003, 03:56 AM For my money, the funniest tv pilot would have to be"The Beverly Hillbillies" pilot, "Clampett's Strike Oil". Indeed, the first three episodes of this series should be required viewing for all tv writers! *PinkLady* 04-05-2003, 12:16 PM The Golden Girls WKRP in Cincinnati Sanford and Son Leave it to Beaver Three's Company Superbatboy 04-05-2003, 02:03 PM The Cosby Show Mijada 04-05-2003, 05:24 PM Bewitched Mrgman 01-02-2006, 09:34 PM Three's company Fonzarelli 01-03-2006, 08:17 PM The pilot of Friends. Kristen 01-03-2006, 11:23 PM I can't believe I'm the first person to mention The Mary Tyler Moore Show, "Love is All Around," and Murphy Brown, "Respect." Both episodes introduced you to all the main characters perfectly. They're both classic episodes, IMO. And I'll also throw in the Wings pilot, "Legacy." Again, a perfect intro to all the main characters. Some shows have a so-so pilot, but these 3 are great right from the get-go. Kristen Southern Hellraiser 01-03-2006, 11:27 PM Roseanne The Cosby Show DukeDevils9192 01-03-2006, 11:56 PM I think That 70s Show's pilot is as good as any of its best episodes. Madness 01-04-2006, 12:41 AM I liked the Hogan Family and Wonder Years pilots. But all the rest you guys have named were good as well! friendsfan77 01-05-2006, 05:27 AM Mary Tyler Moore - "Love Is All Around" Friends - "The One Where Monica Gets A Roommate" The Golden Girls The Hogan Family - "Old Enough" Who's The Boss?

The "Scrubs" pilot also does a great job of setting up the show and its characters. Michael72581 01-09-2006, 12:58 PM Another show I forgot to mention in my first posting that had one of the best pilot episodes was "Soap". tv star collector 01-09-2006, 07:59 PM For my money, the funniest tv pilot would have to be"The Beverly Hillbillies" pilot, "Clampett's Strike Oil". Indeed, the first three episodes of this series should be required viewing for all tv writers! I would have to agree. It's a tough call, but I'm also going to go with THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES. Several laughs, but I think the highlight was when the Clampetts mistook their mansion for a "prison"! |
