On that subject, I was mulling over a while back whether "pilot #3" is really the most common pilot available on the circuit [...] has anybody done any recordkeeping that it could be said definitely, "Yeah, there really are more pilot #3s out there than others"?

I'm going to wager there's no statistical significance here. Here's a list of what I could find:

Baloney*         Pilot #2
Beat the Odds (Henry)      Pilot #3
Caught in the Act ('75)      Pilot #1
Family Feud (Dawson)      Pilot #3
Fast Friends*         Pilot #2
Gambit (1979)         Pilot #2
Gambit (1990)         Pilot #2
Jackpot (Nipsey Rusell)      Pilot #2
King of the Hill      Pilot #2
Match Game ('73)      Pilot A
Money in the Blank      Pilot A
Now You See It (1985)      Pilot #2
Party Line         Pilot #3
Press Your Luck         Pilot #1
Second Chance         Pilot #3
Shoot for the Stars (Monty)   Pilot #1
Split Decision         Pilot #2
Temptation         Pilot #1
The Riddlers         Pilot #1 (and only)
Top Secret         Pilot #3
Trivia Trap         Test #1 (VTR Sept. 1984)
We've Got Your Number      Show B
Whew!            Pilot #3
You Bet Your Life (Dawson)   Pilot #3


Best I could format it; in short, that's 8 pilot 1s, 9 pilot 2s, 7 pilot 3s.

I was trying to be fair to the question and only include stuff that was traded, or otherwise knocks on the door of being available in one copy. Those with a star are from Mike Burger's Pilot Light only, in which I couldn't discern whether it's "the one" or not. I know there's more than one Oddball, etc. etc.  The Bill Cullen gang posted Punch Lines pilot 1, but I didn't include it because I hadn't seen it "in the wild" before them.

Pilot #3 is like your third interview before getting the job.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.
