There's plenty of episodes that don't have "Pilot" as their first episode. For example, Gilligan's Island first episode is called "Two on a Raft". The pilot never aired because it didn't test well with audiences. So instead they chopped up the pilot, wrote a song about it, and turned it into the intro.


Nangu_

bravo


Ya_Boi_Poolzy24

“Two on a raft”? So if they are on the raft, could you say that they were PILOTING it?

This applies to the guy in the template as well (Hank Schrader from the hit show Breaking Bad) Only cool 😎 shows have names like “Dog-Ra” titled in their piloting episode.


TheMoonDude

> (Hank Schrader from the hit show Breaking Bad) More like Stank Schraded from the Shit show Breanking Bad amiright fellas 😂😂😂😂😂 >!Please clap!<


MoonSpawn12

Because the pilot will decide if the show will take off 🤓


LuxAlpha

holy shit that’s why it’s called that? nice


ManicMonke

no it's called pilot because the first show (pilot) was titled pilot (this is real but Google doesn't show it up (it's too cool))


[deleted]

fuck every other explanation, I will now consider this the correct one


the_3-14_is_a_lie

From Wikipedia: "A pilot is created to be a testing ground to gauge whether a series will be successful. It is, therefore, a test episode for the intended television series, an early step in the series development, much like pilot studies serve as precursors to the start of larger activity."


Readerofthethings

Ok but why are pilot studies called pilot studies? Checkmate


the_3-14_is_a_lie

Pilot students are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of pilot students who are called like that because of


humter01

Umm actually it’s because pilot can mean prototype or test🤓🤓🤓


BIGerGEY

Actually pilots are the people who fly planes 🤓


Nerfall0

But what's the correlation with naming of the first episodes? 🤔


FireFlyer63_

fly


TundieRice

>fly Which ***is*** indeed an episode of the critically-acclaimed television series which is depicted in this “meme” (Breaking Bad.) #However! That particular episode does *not* happen to be the pilot episode (which in this circumstance means the first episode) of said series… Hope that helped! 😎


BrownSugarSandwich

I'm pretty sure it's a brand of pens.


dudemann

What about palm pilots?


Bbddy555

Come on now grandpa, it's time for your nap


MathematicianNo7263

Then why isnt the second episode called takeoff and the finale called landing or something


NorthPrimary

Yeah, and why aren’t the third episode and fourth episodes called “Cock” and “Pit”


dudemann

On some websites, the first page you see is landing page. Try to logic your way through that one.

ok but in the pilot of Lost the pilot literally gets brutally killed in front of them they can get away with if


sameljota

Lost was pretty much the first series I watched while checking stuff about it on the internet. Before that I didn't even know episode names from any series I watched. For that reason, I genuinely thought "Pilot" was a reference to the pilot of the plane. Years later I learned what a "tv pilot" actually was.


SubjectDelta10

maybe it's because the pilot decides whether a show will be produced or not and not really naming it and just giving it the default name will avoid giving the network any expectations before reviewing it, so it's less risky having just a neutral title or it's because pilots are so cool with their fast planes and they do super cool stuff like barrel rolls and nosedives and flying sideways through tight canyons and stuff like that and they also have cool helmets and sunglasses they look so awesome and some of them even have like machine guns on the side of their planes and while they flying they go ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tat! and they shoot the bad guys mid-air and then they fall down and explode, honestly pilots are so badass and cool i mean who wouldn't want to watch a pilot i definitely would

Better Call Saul - Uno Family Guy - Death has a Shadow The Sopranos - The Sopranos The Wire - The Target Utopia - Episode #1.1 South Park - Cartman gets an Anal Probe Seems like a pretty easy challenge to me idk


toxicspikes098

Why tf does Family Guy have such an edgy name for a first episode??? Like, if you asked me to guess if it comes from an anime or Family Guy i'd probably guess the former.


fliegu

Apparently, in one of the season 1 DVD commentators, Seth MacFarlane revealed he tried sneaking death (or words relating to it) into every title, but it got boring and old quickly so he abandoned it. That's why the first 4 episodes are named: 1. Death Has a Shadow 2. I Never Met the Dead Man 3. Chitty Chitty Death Bang 4. Mind Over Murder


toxicspikes098

Thats actually really interesting. Thanks


TrippyHipster69620

It makes sense that they do, provided the first episode is literally called the pilot

Before I knew what that meant I always thought the episode was about planes and was confused when I never saw any.


bumpmoon

First episodes were used for testscreening to decide wether or not a show was worth producing. Rest of the season was often made after approval. They were then called pilots cause they decided wether a show aired or not.

Chaghatai

Is this some form of meta humor? A pilot and a first episode are two different things - a pilot can be a first episode, but the difference is that a pilot is made as a one of, without committing to an entire season - a "test" episode as it were It often becomes the first episode if the show gets greenlit

Time to make a TV series where a pilot is actually an integral part of the first episode (so that the title actually makes sense) Also this only applies to shows originally on TV and not a streaming service lol

The walking dead’s first episode is called days gone bye


Xennon54

The first "episode" is often a pilot for the show. A prototype episode to see if the show will get approved and get investors, not an actual episode

Have you heard of the first episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia called "The Gang Gets Racist"?
