On The Ten Best Comedy Pilots in TV History

As juvenile as it may be, I think that the pilot of That 70s Show might be one of the better ones. It sets up the cast perfectly, and Kurtwood Smith as Red Forman is at his imperious best from the get-go. It even set up the Donna/Eric romance that was ruined in later seasons by the creators inability to work out what to do with them as a couple. But their first moments together were kinda awesomely played by Topher Grace and Laura Prepon, immediate chemistry.
