The Pilot Episode - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

According to the episode listing for the Season 1 DVD to be released in July, the pilot episode was actually called "Change". Did anyone already know this? I was under the impression that it was just known as "Pilot."

sounds better than "Pilot" anyways

It was listed as "Change" on my DVR guide when I recorded it last year from TV Land.

I hope the DVD will have the original opening where Benson is walking to the mansion pass the dogs and gardener. Many syndicators leave that part out.

I also hope that The DVD will have the original Open with Benson and The Dogs

There's no reason why the entire intro shouldn't be on there. If they cut that short, it would be disappointing. The DVD is where you should find everything in its completed form. Otherwise, where would you?

Got the DVD for review. I noticed the first episode did have that different opening credits. It shows us Benson moving into the Governor's mansion. TV Land never showed this but SGN did.

Also, as a sneak peek to the review...all the episodes but two have the full one minute opening theme! And don't worry the two that don't are NOT edited episodes.
Review will be posted by Wednesday.

Thanks, pavan! That sounds promising. By the way, can you post any other pics included in the artwork? (Back cover, inside?)
