Did you know that most TV shows start with a first episode named “Pilot”? It’s the industry’s trial run to see if a show has longevity to continue running — if it ends up being successful, it lifts off or airs! 📺🍿
But not every series follows the standard formula. It led me to the thought: what shows ditched the general “Pilot” title and went with something a bit more memorable? From 3rd Rock from the Sun‘s “Brains and Eggs” to Pokémon‘s iconic “Pokémon – I Choose You!” — there are actually tons of creative first episode titles out there than you might expect.
So let’s put it to the test. I’ll give you a first episode title, and you’ll have to guess the show it was from. Ready? Set, go!

Do you think every first episode should be titled “Pilot” or are creative titles the way to go?
