    This is, in fact, the first actual episode. The pilot WAS actually aired as a regular show -- the scoring system was different (lost points for wrong answers, correct answers kept you at full score, for one example), and a disclaimer was given before the show to that effect.

      *Sad Informational Trivia (Which most fans already know, in all honesty)*
      Both Lynne Thigpen (The Chief [1990-1995] & Luna the Moon from _Bear in the Big Blue House_ [1997-2003], among other things) and Mr. Rogers (Mister Fred McFeely Rogers of _Mister Rogers' Neighborhood_ [1968-2001]) both died in 2003 of a brain hemorrhage and complications from cancer, respectively, within a short time (a week, if not mere days) between each other.

    I loved the part where the Mona Lisa called Greg and gave the clue. LOL, I actually remembered that from when I was a kid. Yet, I didn't remember the Ninja Turtle reference. Then again, I'm not really a TMNT fan to begin with, so make of that what you will.
    Another thing I love about the show is when they do the Loot, Warrant, Crook thing. Rockapella comes up with some hilarious stuff with the Loot sometimes.
