    I can think of a few exceptions - Breaking Bad, 24. Sitcoms tend to start much more unevenly.https://twitter.com/jimgeraghty/status/1155130533015408640 …

    The pilot of a television series is almost always one of the weakest episodes because it's difficult to explain everything and set everything up and simultaneously have something dramatic happen.

        Lost had the best pilot - all the rest of the episodes were horrible.

        It's a miracle Seinfeld was ever picked up. Those first few episodes. . .oof.

        Lost; best pilot of all time. Dexter was good.

        Arrested Development was easily the best sitcom pilot I've seen

        The Cheers pilot was absolutely perfect. They had the pitch of every character nailed from episode one.

        I don't remember the Cheers pilot (and I'm old enough to have seen it) but I know the sienfeld pilot was so bad I didn't watch another episode until about seasons 2 later when people talked about it enough that I gave it another shot.
