pretty good price, but folks should be aware that this is not the "unaired pilot" that there is a space for in the season one set... this is already present in the season one set without the extra disc

what is the difference to the pilot in season 1 and the "unaired pilot"?
"The unaired pilot is an earlier version of the first two episodes of the series, "Wheel of Fortune," and "What It Seems." The main differences are that several scenes were re-filmed, and two actors (Reverend Purdy and Dana Bright) were later re-cast."

When they filmed the original pilot, the "serial killer" storyline was going to run throughout the season, rather than be wrapped up in the pilot. Reverand Purdy was played as a "red herring" (a possible suspect), and so Michael Moriarty comes off somewhat sinister. When they re-filmed the pilot sometime later (it was originally sold to UPN and then they lost interest, -it was then sold to USA where it does quite well for them these days), they re-conceived the part of Purdy to be less of an antagonist for Johnny Smith. Moriarty was no longer available, and David Ogden Stiers was brought in.
