Welcome to the first episode of our little "spin off" series if you will. Once a month, the Pilot Program will take the place of one episode of our flagship podcast What We've Watched. In this series we will be talking about various TV pilots from throughout television history that catch our interest as things worth watching and discussing, it some cases this may be a show that goes on to a solid run with some success, in other maybe obscure oddities that never even went to series, All we can say is it won't be anything too obvious or recent, This series is all about exploring the past and the interesting world of television pilots! First up, we thought we'd start with an easy one: our benchmark for what makes up a classic example of an excellent pilot, its Alias, from 2001.
