Now only ever saw this once at a convention so bear with me, this is mostly from memory;
No Angel but amazingly we have both Danny Strong and Mercedes McNab, their characters were there right from the beginning.
Dark haired Buffy, wow! Presumably SMG's natural colour. Really though Buffy should be blonde although as we see in Bargaining she dyes her hair
Poor Riff Regan, you feel sorry for her but you're also very glad they dumped her for AH, the series would never have been so good without her. It's cynical of course, Riff is probably what a real Willow would look like but this being Hollywood they dump her for a girl voted 11th Sexiest in the world by FHM readers
No Oz yet but remarkably 'Dingo's ate my baby' are mentioned
Vamps don't fly here but they don't disintegrate either, they sort of melt away
It's rough and ready but this really is the Buffy prototype, it doesn't quite work yet but you can see the potential (if you'll pardon the pun)

That's a very good question and I must say I don't know, I saw it at a Buffy Convention once. Can anyone help us out?

Go to YouTube. I remember seeing one "Buffy Unaired Pilot" there, if not, I don't know. Go to JossWhedons official site.

I've seen it there, on youtube. It's broken up into a couple pieces...Let's see, I'll offer my thoughts on this episode!
-Poor Riff Regan. She was cute but she just doesn't have the screen charisma that Aly does, and the certain cuteness. I'm so glad they switched her.
-Buffy's really much more of an airhead in this than the aired pilot...esp with the gum chewing! She pops it everywhere, I'm glad they cut that. I am glad they changed her hairstyle.
-The library that they use is awesome! I do adore the second set they used, but it's really magnificent. Buffy does a cool jump down from the second floor and that's pretty sweet.
-It's nice to see Danny Strong & Mercedes McNab make it all the way through the series(s). It's a nice little treat for a devoted fan.
-The vamps dusting...it's really quite funny! The slow dusting and how much dust there is...plus the vamp sarcasm when Buffy dusts them in the is really entertaining.
-I'm glad they changed Buffy's shoes.
All in all, quite horrendous but a really nice thing to watch, to appreciate even S1 Buffy.

i saw it a long time ago and laughed. it's so awful, but great at the same time.
I'm so glad they switched Willow. I love Aly to death, and Riff just couldn't bring what Aly did to the character.
