N@N has no idea how to air a new show

N@N just released the new schedule for the month of May and new addition, "the Nanny" will be part of the lineup. But what is weird is N@N not airing the pilot episode of the show for new viewers. Wouldn't it make more sense to allow new viewers to follow the show from the very beginning? I can't believe how the programming department of N@N comes up with these wonderful ideas. Also why is N@N having a marathon for a show that has not been in syndication that much without allowing the show to gain a fan base? That's like a store stocking the shelves with multiple cans of a new drink and don't know if it generate sales. I guess time will tell say like the month of June.
