TV Shows With Strange Pilot Episodes

[ajburke]

Thanks for all the input so far. Lots of interesting examples.

In terms of aired or unaired, I was generally thinking aired. That would indicate a more successful show, right? Or at least a better conceived pilot that begat a good show with a few changes between pilot and the next episode?

I guess the holy grail of examples here would be successful shows that had a pilot which differered in some noticeable way from that which came after.
