	You have to add "Pie-lette" from Pushing Daisies! And "Day 1, 12:00 am to 1:00 am". Tough, but mostly fair.

	I will definitely add Pushing Daisies. The latter is currently a bonus answer, but I might bump it to regular. It was difficult to make this one because a lot of shows don't have a uniquely named pilot... they're just "Pilot."

	I'd be a little hesitant to bump up "Day 1, 12:00 am to 1:00 am" to a regular answer. I guessed that show for "24 Hours," and that might cause it to be accidentally guessed too often.

	"The Stakeout" is the second episode, not the pilot. The pilot is called "The Seinfeld Chronicles" or "Good News, Bad News" (or even "The Pilot")

	@marnavot... Thanks, I'm removing it (it's too easy with the real one). I had used IMDB as my source on that one and for some reason it lists "The Stakeout" as Episode 1.

	Okay I've totally changed the quiz to include a pilot episode from all the years since 1980... it seemed that in the original quiz the hints from older shows were just too difficult. Plus I think it really helps to list the year of debut. Hope you enjoy the new and improved version!

	Big changes and mostly for the better. Bravo, Thalia, a brave move that I say works!

	Thanks... it's a pretty difficult quiz, but a lot of the more popular shows don't have named pilot episodes, so some of them are a bit obscure. Suggestions for alternative shows for any year are most definitely welcome!

	wow was I terrible at this! Great idea for a quiz.
