The original original pilot episode for this series is this program. It is essentially
the same episode as the first broadcasted episode with the same plot situations.
The big differences are that Peter Barton was known as David Star and the role of mentor/guardian was played by Gerald O'Loughlin. O'Loughlin was the school custodian and not a science teacher. I'm guessing the producers thought having the adult be a science teacher might explain strange things occurring in their house.
But if you've seen the first episode the plot is just about the same.
