Pilot taped nearly five years earlier?!


Maybe I was too young to notice a difference in their appearances, but it's hard to believe that the pilot episode was taped in 1974, as the trivia for this show states on IMDb.

Has anyone recently seen the pilot and then one or more of the first season episodes to compare?

If there was a pilot, it was likely done with different actors and never aired.

True. Especially since Pescow (I assume) got the role due to her role in Saturday Night Fever, made three years after the presumed pilot was filmed.

I'm wondering if maybe there was an episode of Love American Style that served as an inspiration to the creators? It wouldn't be the first time a show was born out of an episode of that show (Happy Days, Wait 'Till Your Father Gets Home)
