Default Alternate Pilot?

Has anybody seen this promo that Wildchats posted on Youtube?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6-TS5St0Hw

It's a promo for the series premiere, but the set is much different and only one of the 3 girls is visible (Kari). It appears that there was another actress that played the youngest daughter? Has anybody ever heard or seen this alternate pilot?

Wildchats, where is that clip from? Is that from the 1981 Fall Preview Show? I had never heard of them shooting an alternate pilot.

I never heard anything about an alternate pilot,but it sure does looks like an unaired one. I wonder if Universal still has it or any footage left from it?

I saw that a few weeks after he put it up....I totally agree that would make a great bonus feature. And the house looked totally different, from what you could see of it.

I got it from Matt Bachler or however his name is spelled. He made the tapes for me a few years ago, and there was extras on it. I got so many episodes from GAB fans over the years.
