Re: Best "First Episode" To Introduce Your Favorite?

(Anonymous) 2016-03-15 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
I kinda hate starting a show from the pilot (except in cases of EXTREMELY serialized shows where each episode is totally built on what happened previously). Just personal preference mostly, but also because IMO most pilots are very unrepresentative of what the bulk of the show is really like.

I would try and pick the most "day in the life" sort of episode possible. Like, something that shares the most common factors with all other episodes? The least "unusual" episode possible, and the one that incorporates as many elements of the show in the most balanced way possible. Also something that doesn't rely on an existing familiarity with the characters.

I would pick something from the first season (or maybe the second, for older shows that take longer to get going) though, unless it's one of those shows that gets massively retooled or the characters/style changes a lot after a very weird first season, like Parks and Rec.

For example, for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, my "introduce" episode go-to is "What's My Line? 1 and 2".
