Mickey, that does not really help.  Do you mean the initial pilot or the episode that was shown as a pilot?

If the latter, would that mean...
ravens?

Nope!

Hee, this is going to be fun. Cheesy

There's only one pilot. The pilot is not always the first aired (sometimes never aired). Birds of a Feather was not the pilot. Wink


As the covers are up with a description of the plot, I can now refer to the line in question. "That mess at the zoo."

 I always thought the pilot episode was the one they used to play to test audiences to see if the show was liked enough to be picked up for reg airing tv. Maybe that is just how they use to do it. Do they even do test showings anymore?

Smiley  That's the line I thought you meant.

Bingo. Which is why sometimes the pilot never airs. In this case, it was cut up and shoved into a regular episode length, which seriously hurt it.

It was interesting to see Bob as the skull on a shelf instead of the ghost.   While Im a big fan of bob, and was kinda disappointed seeing the ghost version the first time, after seeing it Im kinda glad they went the way they did (not that it saved the show or anything).  I always pictured Bob as more animate than that.  I imagine him bouncing a bit on the shelf, swiveling around, and actually talking, maybe even clacking a bit.  The inert skull was just boring, glowing eyes not withstanding.


On a side note, but its where I get my image of Bob: 
Anyone here ever played any of the Monkey Island games put out by lucas arts, specifically "Curse of-" or "Escape from Monkey Island?  Well in those games there was this recurring character named Murray, who used to be a skeleton pirate in a zombie army, but some irresponsible use of a cannon on the part of you the player caused his body to be lost somewhere in the bay, and now he is Murray Evil Demonic Skull. Most people pretend to be scared out of pity.  He has had a successful career as a Guardian of the Voodoo Swamp, Demonic Skull Haunting the Crypt, and Greeter at a theme restaurant Planet Threepwood.

Wait, the unaired pilot had Bob as a firespirit in the hearth that was spaed like a skull...was the aired version just a skull? They may have resot those parts for the aired version, which would explain the lack of movement....low budget reshoot.
