Are any TV show pilots actually good?
For so many TV shows the pilot ends up with a completely different feel than the rest of the series and sometimes isn't very good. It's a time when the writers are testing the waters so it makes sense.
Can you think of a TV show pilot that was actually great?
My answer would be the Arrested Development pilot. I think it's the best pilot episode of any show I've ever watched and one of the best episodes, if not the best episode, of that series.
