Which shows do you think had the best pilots? Since often networks will put pretty big budgets behind some pilots, there's some pretty good ones out there. First one that comes to mind for me is Lost's pilot. That whole first segment of the survivors trying to get ashore was shot incredibly.

That 70's show's pilot was pretty funny back in the day. As was Lost, Prison Break etc. Basically all the good shows had a strong pilot.

Any pilot with a nuclear detonation in the first episode is awesome in my book. Do you know if they are still going ahead with the movie to take place after Season 2. A new American Civil War would be a great concept for a movie.

While I haven't watched any other episode other than it I agree that it's excellent.

I think Lost had the best Pilot in TV history. And its not even close. The budget for the Lost pilot could rival that of Hollywood movies. And really, I don't think I've seen a better Pilot episode.
