Writer:	Ivan Goff, Ben Roberts
Director:	John Llewellyn Moxey
Star:	Farrah Fawcett (Jill Munroe [Season 1; 1976-1977 credited as Farrah Fawcett-Majors]),  David Doyle (John Bosley),  John Forsythe (voice of Charlie),  Jaclyn Smith (Kelly Garrett),  Kate Jackson (Sabrina Duncan [Seasons 1-3; 1976-1979])

Jaclyn Smith previously guest starred with Diana Muldaur in the January 7, 1973 episode of McCloud called Showdown at the End of the World and with Kate Jackson in the December 16, 1975 episode of The Rookies called The Code Five Affair. (edit) This is the only episode in which David Ogden Stiers appears. When the series was picked up later that year, his character of Scott Woodville was cut. (edit) Upon its initial airing, the pilot drew a 54 share in the Nielsen ratings, which translates into over half of all television sets in the country in use that night were tuned in. The pilot ranked 3rd among all tele films for the year and when it was re-aired on September 14, 1976, it ranked 4th. (edit) As a result of Kate Jackson's last-minute decision to play Sabrina instead of Kelly, Jaclyn Smith is prominently featured in the first third of the pilot as she establishes her cover as the phony heiress, Janet Lemaire to the Samarra Vineyard.

Sabrina: Jill, you'll never guess who ordered the sheriff.
Jill: Charlie, who else. (edit) Beau: It was all a con. One great big con.
Jill: (Smiling) I guess you know that, uh, there was never really any oil.
Beau: Yeah. (Nodding his head) I guess I know that.
Wilder: What do we do with them?
Beau: Well we came to dig a grave. May have to make a whole cemetery. (edit) Kelly: (Speaking into the walkie talkie.) Woodville. Woodville. Sabrina, Jill. Something's gone wrong! We better get out of here. (edit) Jill: (Posing as Jenny Lou and coming out of the shack down in the Swamp area.) Just leave him to me. You know grandpa's getting old and he really ain't dealing with a full deck up there. So uh, I think I can get him to sell.
Beau: How much?
Jill: Quarter of a million.
(edit) Aram: You know, I'm getting pretty tired of meeting Janet LaMaire's everyday. What the devil are you two up to?
Sabrina: Who?
Aram: You and the one yesterday. The one who filled you in.
Sabrina: Fill me in about what?
Aram: You can turn it off, honey? There never was a barn down by the river!
