Why do TV networks air pilot episodes of a series that has already aired a first episode? Why do they call it a pilot episode?
Irrespective of the result (good or bad ratings) of the pilot episode, would the network continue to air the series anyway? By the time they actually start airing the series, wouldn't they have the complete season 1 in hand?
Answer
There are many different types of TV pilots. You can find your answer in this wikipedia entry
Also, many networks never air certain series in their entirety. This can be for a variety of reasons, such as a controversial topic or extremely low ratings.
