I see Midnight as engaging as any first episode. I disagree with but understand your reasoning.

Kenneth Elder

The pilot is not a standard single episode length.

Phil Ken Sebben

Children of the gods pilot would be best

Jason Shearer

The Storyteller, episode 7: The Soldier and Death. If you've seen it, you won't forget it. Amazing work by the Henson team.

thebeefmaster

I submitted The X-Files S7 E21 - Je Souhaite - A standalone episode. Je Souhaite is French for "I Wish".

thebeefmaster

I think they said that they have seen a few random episodes.

LoTeq

The Expanse - S02 E02 - Doors and Corners Ship battle scene, political tension, hints at what's happened and what's to come but doesn't spoil the show's paradigm shift, Miller's cold-ass final scene.

HuskerChuck

WKRP in Cincinnati (Season 1, Episode 7) "Turkeys Away"

Keith S

Red Dwarf Season 5 Episode 6 Back to Reality.

Paul Hess

Thanks Blane I was going from memory and hadn’t checked the final vote. I love Midnight also, but IMHO it does suffer from some of the clumsiness that permeates season 1. I do think Gethsamane shows the show more in its stride, without spoiling anything major despite being in season 3 (because B5 is so tight, that’s a hard find!).

Katie Jackson

I don't think so. They haven't said yet if they have.

THE LORE!!!

Have they seen it? Man, that'd be the perfect non ST show for them.

Stevtrek

Yes... perhaps I tried to pack too much info into that post... lol.

Season one episode one the pilot episode of “nowhere man“ 1995 Bruce Greenwood directed by Tobey Hooper

Matthew McKinnon-Gray

Just to be clear, is this The Flash (1990) EP S1.11 ?

thebeefmaster

The X-Files S7 E21 - Je Souhaite - A standalone episode. Je Souhaite is French for "I Wish".

Evan Guthrie

Yeah the "seasons" and "episodes" of columbo can be screwy, that's why I included the title

Bradley Shafer

The Outer Limits Season 1 episode 14 Quality of Mercy. Bonus you get a Star Trek actress you haven't met yet Nicole De Boer

Regan

Columbo's episode numbering can be different depending on where you look. iMDB classes some episodes as separate TV movies, rather than episodes of a series.

Blane Mather

It was a close 3rd in the last poll. My suggestion of Babylon 5 -s1e1 "Midnight on the Firing Line" took 2nd place by 2 votes. I've added it here as well because I think that's a better intro to the series. These gentlemen watched "The Gathering" and decided it wasn't for them. They might have had the same experience with Trek if they had watched "The Cage" first. I'm trying to rectify that problem.

PFCoffey

HBO's "Rome", S1E1, introduces all the characters, but the following episodes are much more interesting.

Blane Mather

Babylon 5 - s1e1 Midnight on the Firing Line.

KevinH

The X-Files "Bad Blood" S5 E12

Kevin B

Westworld S01E01

Badger

Black Mirror-"USS Callister" Season 4, Episode 1 ..cuz..why not

Jonathan

Mary Tyler Moore Show 6x7 “Chuckles Bites the Dust” considered one of the funniest tv episodes of the 20th Century.

tyranusfan

Seaquest DSV, pilot episode “To be or not to be”. Superficially TNG underwater. Great cast (Recommend season 1 only if you decide you like it ! lol)

Katie Jackson

👍

Josh (Target Audience)

We’ve both seen Stranger Things

Josh (Target Audience)

That title looks to be episode 1 not 3

James H

I was going to suggest “Fade in to Murder,” but any Columbo is good.

Phil Ken Sebben

Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law - “The Dabba Don”

T’Pynyn of Vulcan

Sherlock, Study in Pink (season 1, ep 1) with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. Created by Steven Moffat.

Stevtrek

EP S1.11 The Trickster with guest stars Mark Hamill (Star Wars), Joyce Hyser (Just One Of The Guys) & Gloria Reuben (ER, Timecop) of The Flash (1990), starring John Wesley Shipp (The Flash 2014... as the same character) as Barry Allen/the Flash, Amanda Pays (Max Headroom) & Alex Désert (Simpsons, Becker). Hamill is an insane magician who wreaks havoc throughout Central City as the maniacally clever Trickster. One of my favorite, mostly unseen series. Mark Hamill reprised the role of James Jesse/The Trickster 24 years later in the 2014 Flash episode "Tricksters".

HG

The Greatest American Hero S1E1 “The Greatest American Hero” (pilot - 1981)

Miki Ah Heong

Fringe Season 1 Episode 4 The Arrival. It's early enough to make sense after the pilot and not spoil much of anything out of context, effectively shows off the three main characters with emphasis on the relationship between Peter and Walter, and acts as an introduction to some of the more fascinating parts of the mythology.

Michael Figueroa

Good episode, but I'm partial to "The Most Crucial Game" or "Playback".

Collin Freeman

Hill Street Blues episode 1 “Hill Street Station”

Prof Moff

Castle S 5 Ep 6 "Final Frontier" please voters before you dismiss this because you have never watched Castle, just do a search of this ep and read the description and you will see why I put this up for selection.

Michael Figueroa

"Nightcrawlers" from The Twilight Zone (1985)

Echo Moon

Here is a non-scifi show. M*A*S*H season 11 episode 16 Goodbye, Farewell and Amen. It's the last episode of the entire show but it's IMO the best one and you really don't have to watch any of the show to love it. :) It's longer than a regular episode because it's the last one but it's totally worth it. I hope folks agree. :)

Echo Moon

Ya'll know I'm gonna say it LOL. BSG season 3 episode 16 Dirty Hands. It's a great one. :)

xadg

Good pick.

Tom Occhipinti

That episode has MY vote too.

James Bottas

Episode 1 of HBO's Spawn series

Katie Jackson

Farscape Season 2 Episode 9: Out Of Their Minds

Keith S

Out Limits original series Wolf 359. Season 2 episode 8?

TalynStarburst

Farscape “Crackers Don’t Matter” season 2 Episode 4

Katie Jackson

Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot (1hr.)

Katie Jackson

Stranger Things Season 1 Episode 1: Chapter 1 (49 min.)

Paul Hess

I don’t want to split The West Wing vote so I’ll just mention another great one, maybe for a future poll. S1E10, “In Exelsis Deo”.

Paul Hess

Babylon 5 Passing Thru Gethsemane. It can be watched as a somewhat standalone episode (as much as any B5 episode can be considered standalone) and it does a great job of showing B5's balanced and powerfully dramatic portrayal of societal issues, religion, etc. This was a close second last poll. Please “like” and let’s get it over the top this time!

Katie Jackson

Grimm Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot (43 min)

Evan Guthrie

Dr scrubs

Evan Guthrie

It's not one vote per person so go ahead

Katie Jackson

The X-Files Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot (48 min.)

James H

I was going to suggest a different Columbo, but I don’t want to split the vote.

Evan Guthrie

Columbo season 1 episode 3: Murder by the Book

Dor

The Wire S1E1

Kenneth Elder

Stargate SG-1 S01E11 "Torment of Tantalus". It's a high quality taste of SG1, early on so easy to follow, dramatic, deals with the unique quirks of the setting. I love this episode, for standing on its own merits and leaving you wanting more. It's not my personal favorite but those ones are better for those more entrenched in the series.
