The first two episodes that aired were production numbers 3 and 4.

The true first episode aired last week called "Storm Front" based (loosely) on Jim Butcher's first book by the same name.
Sci-Fi Channel commissioned a two hour movie pilot but had no room in their schedule to air it (and time constraints in completing it).

As a result it was cut down to fit a one hour slot and altered to fit continuity with the episodes that would air before it. It suffers terribly from this hack job.

Yes, I'd like to see this, but there is a good chance only the rough cut with temporary effects exists.
It was suggested (I don't remember where) that it might again see the light of day complete, but would not fit the continuity of the rest of the series.
