Re: Favorite season premieres

To be honest, I'm not sure what they're officially called here in the UK. Personally, I'd call the very first episode of a show the pilot episode or the show's premiere :)

I'd probably go for 'series premiere', or just the 'the very first episode'.

A pilot is , as far as I'm concerned, a very specific thing; it's an episode made to demonstrate to the TV network peeps what your show is about so they'll buy it/finance it. Sometimes that episode will simply become the first episode, sometimes it'll be re-edited or refilmed entirely so the broadcast first ep is not the pilot at all.

For example, the Buffy pilot and Sherlock pilots were never broadcast (though they have been made public since) and feature broadly the same cast and storyline but were entirely refilmed with different Willow and Sally respectively. The Being Human official first episode of series one picks up directly after the pilot (which had been shown ages before as part of a pilots season on BBC 3) despite recasting Mitchell and Annie, and to my knowledge hasn't ever been repeated or officially included as part of series 1.

So I wouldn't refer to a pilot unless that was what the show itself called its first episode.
