On Call
TV pilots are first drafts that sometimes need to be fixed. For instance, Bill Cosby's house and number of kids changed once his sitcom eased into its first season.
In the Mad Men pilot, they made a point of showing the gals at the switchboard, and pointed out how important they are. Then they dropped the whole thing completely until the second season's finale. And then, it was former secretary Lois giving useful information in return for a ticket back to the secretarial pool. I guess being an operator isn't such a big deal after all.

Didn't Larry and Cheryl have a child in the pilot of Curb Your Enthusiasm? I guess he quickly realized that parenthood is largely incompatible with childishly self-centered behavior by the adults.
What I want to know is when they have the next season of CYE, will he be married to Vivica Fox or was that a fantasy?
