TV Pilots - Is the first episode a flop or totally fab?

Girlies! Katie and Michae are back with another episode and this week, they are discussing what makes a good pilot episode for a television show. They break down what they consider to be some of the best pilot episodes and some of the worst. They talk about how some shows got better over time, while others got worse. They address questions dealing with the future of television within the world of streaming services and the ten episode season format and how the pilot episode functions in the present day. With the recent release of the Emmy nominations, Katie and Michae take a moment to acknowledge a few of their faves that were recognized with nominations. Be sure to tune in next week to hear the duo break down their top ten favorite movie characters of all time.
