START WITH BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE. I PROMISE IT WILL BE OKAY.
Just give it a little intro: "So once upon a time there was this show, and one of the actors left after season two, so to make fun of TV they hired a dude who looked nothing like him and decided to write a plot where everyone had to pretend they were the same. Also there's a deaf wolf and a ghost."
I mean, you could also do Dead Guy Running or a season one episode like Gift of the Wheelman, but I feel like all the good episodes that aren't the actual pilot require some backstory anyway, so. And I wouldn't make them sit through the pilot, that shit is long.
