Pilot Study

Chris and Grimes dig deep into the world of television pilot episodes. We don’t talk about episode 2. We hate second episodes.

“Reno 911!,” the cult “Cops” spoof, is the subject of Episode 68 of Pilot Study. This begins a dive into some of the more memorable programming choices in the history of Comedy Central. Chris and Grimes talk the unaired pilot and the program’s history at Fox, using the “blurry face” to their advantage, and more.

Note: The pilot is available at the Comedy Central website.
Note 2: “The State” ran for 4 seasons (’93-’95).
