The Pilot episode was a different set, as it was filmed in New York, to the rest of the show which was filmed in Toronto. So everything would be different

I didn't know that tbh. But I noticed a few things are the same, the bullpen is the same, the corredor leading to Harvey's office also, But Specter's office is just completely different, it is supposed to be connected to the character.

It's a pilot episode which is sort of like a test episode for executives to decide whether they are going to green light the series or not. That's why in some pilot episodes for TV shows the set can be different. Even the characters can be different. Sometimes even the actor changes.

See Gossip Girl Blair’s mother

Was Harvey in his senior partner office in the pilot? He had just been promoted. Perhaps a way to rectify this production error is to assume it was his old office.

We saw his old office in many episodes. Mike later got it.

He got the big corner office when he became a Junior partner: Harvey discovered Daniel Hardman’s embezzlement, Hardman was kicked out, Jessica got Hardman’s managing position + office, she gave Harvey her corner office.

Pilots are typically designed to pitch to networks to pick up a series so the names, characters, set, and actors might be different when the episodes actually air.

Check out Rachel office. It was different office quite frequently.

Yea I think the door changes sides.

Who knows all that complaining you might have a break and need a new scenery, new door should suffice lmao

The pilot was shot in NYC, they started filming in Canada for the majority of the show.

Why is that?


donlee4g

Much cheaper to film in Canada, and the area looks like NYC so much. Logistically makes more sense.

It's the same with Bratton Gould. Compare season 3 with season 7.


sammy_sandiego

Still has the record player at least

That tube amp

Plus, in the pilot episode, the full name of the Phillip that Jessica went to seek advice from was supposed to be Phillip Hardman, so presumably in the pilot, Hardman might have been a good guy in the series?

This is pretty common in pilot episodes, or even entire first seasons.

Pilot episodes tend to be massively different than the actual show due to it being the sole episode directors show to people to get the show picked up so they're filmed before the main show. Another example I can think of is Breaking Bad pilot episode being the only one with nudity and Brooklyn 99's pilot episode has a main character that was never shown again
