TV Meme: Day 27 - Best Pilot Episode.

Hmm... it's Day 27... and I have to figure out what I believe is the best pilot episode. This really was tough one. One that could have made it, but didn't, was the (I guess) pilot episode to Battlestar Galactica. I don't mean the 3-hour miniseries that spun-off into the series, but the first episode of the actual series entitled "33." Talk about a hardcore (and amazing) opening to the show. Though I'm not sure if that actually counts considering the miniseries. Anyway, I think I'm gonna go with a cop-out answer... mostly because I don't want to think about it.

Glee's pilot episode was shown months before the show even aired. Its pilot episode was advertised as being online for an entire summer before the show even aired. They were really pimping out this pilot episode... long before the show even aired. So was it worth all the hype? Hell yeah.

This pilot amped up the buzz for the show even more than it already had, and the anticipation level skyrocketed by the time the show actually began airing. And it was a great opening, giving you pretty much everything you should expect from the series (though it did become more realistic and human as the show went on).
