Episode chronology

"Pilot" is the series premiere of the popular sitcom Moesha. The episode was written by series creators Ralph Farquhar, Sara V. Finney, and Vida Spears. It was originally ordered as a pilot for the CBS network's 1995-1996 television season, who rejected. It was then picked up by UPN, who aired it as a mid-season replacement. It went on to become the biggest success for the nascent network and one of the greatest hits over the course of the network's entire run.

Moesha tries to cope with her new step-mother, Dee who is also a teacher at her school. She convinces her father Frank to let her go to the local hangout The Den, much to the dismay of Dee who thinks that she does not have a place in the family. It is clear that Moesha is secretly dating poet Ohagi even though she is banned from dating until her 16th birthday. Moesha and Dee clash over Moesha's antics but after a betrayal, they come to an understanding about roles in this new family.
