Its been 16 years since the show premiered and what better day to release an episode discussing the pilot episode than on the anniversary of Alison's disappearance. My cousin introduced me to this show and it immediately grabbed my attention. It is 100% a teenage girl show, but it has murder, suspense, clues, lies, sex, and so much more. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't yet watched the series. The show also had spin offs with Revenswood, The Perfectionist, and most recently Original Sin, which is more of a slasher.
It has been one year since Alison, then the queen bee of the bunch, went missing. Spencer, Aria, Hanna and Emily have gone on with their lives, though they've grown apart. Now in high school, each girl finds herself facing a new set of challenges when anonymous text messages from `A' threaten to expose all of their secrets - both old secrets the girls were sure only Alison knew, and newer secrets developed after Alison's disappearance. Who is `A' and how does he or she know the things he or she knows? `Pretty Little Liars' is based on the series of novels by Sara Shepard.

PLL Drinking Rules (tvtropes.org and drinkiwiki.com):
Drink when… (I’d recommend choosing 2-3 rules)
- Spencer gets that constipated look
- Spencer and Melissa fight or one up each other
- Aria and Ezra almost get caught
- Mona says something bitchy
- the theme song plays
- all the girls wear a dress
- Melissa is being bitchy
- they are sitting in a classroom
- Emily kisses a girl
- Hanna is shown in a fat suit
- Aria has pink streaks in her hair
- Mona is a dork in the flashback
- someone mentions Spencer's mom is a lawyer
- Alison is in the episode
- they read A's message together; Refill and drink again if it says bitches
- any character dies
- someone cries about something
- any of the girls wear normal clothes and not “couture”
- they mention The Jenna Thing
- A ends a message with "bitch", "bitches", or some variant thereof.
- A does something that should require psychic knowledge of the future.
- the girls do something stupid that gives A an advantage over them. (Also, when they tell a lie that gives A more to blackmail them with.)
- someone is framed for murder.
- whenever there is an Ezria scene.
- Spencer disses Hanna.
- Hanna gives a good reason for someone to diss her.
- they do something that you definitely shouldn't do if a creepy murderer is after you. (For example, when Emily and Paige go to a party in the middle of the woods)
- the girls go to a Halloween party and shit goes down.
- a creepy doll and/or mask shows up.
- a possible love interest of the liars acts shady in a potential team member kind of way.
- the liars break into (or out of) a place they should definitely not be able to break into (or out of) — like an asylum, a morgue, etc.
- Aria comes on screen with an accessory larger than your head.
- someone says "It's complicated."
- at least one of the girls have a cup of coffee either in their hands or on the table in front of them.
- Ezra/Toby/Caleb is shirtless.
- there is Spoby sex scene.
- a reaction shot lasts too long.
- Hanna starts a thought with "okay"
