A television pilot is an episode or quick sketch which is created to sell or give a taste of what the Tv show is about. Pilots tend to be the first ever episode and are generally shorter that other episodes which follow. When a pilot is made it is used to test the target audience and also to sell to certain company which could air the show. Television companies tend to used the pilot to test the TV show, if the audience enjoy and engage with the pilot then its safe to assume that the audience will enjoy the rest of the series too.
After the testing phase the TV channel will look at the results of the test and decide wether the show will be invested in for more episodes. Almost every TV show on TV has had a pilot, its an effective and accurate method of research and has helped TV networks see whats worth the money.
Below is the pilot episode for the very well known TV show 'Friends'.
