PILOT | When a network orders a pilot, it asks its writers/producers/studios to cast and produce a very close facsimile of the first episode of a series. Each pilot is reviewed by network officials and then usually tested before its fate is decided. (A “put the driver” has a higher probability of “going to the series”, because there is a significant financial penalty if he does not.)

SPILLOVER PLANTED | Also called a “backdoor” driver, this is an episode of an existing series that sets up a prospective offshoot. (See: Arrowin the episode “Green Arrow and the Canaries”.) Retro history lesson: Brady’s Bunch episode with neighbor Ken Berry adopting three different boys? It was an unfortunate planted pilot, for a spin-off that was to be called Kelly’s children.)

DRAMA/COMEDY PRESENTATION | Due to time or budget constraints, a network sometimes does not order a full pilot, but a shorter “pitch” that gives an idea of ​​what a drama or sitcom would look like.

CAST-QUANTITY | Sometimes a network orders a pilot with the caveat that filming can’t begin until a suitable actor (read: “name”) has been cast in the lead role. (Translation: “The premise is uncertain, but a star could sell to us. So you’ll sometimes hear that with the casting of such and such, “the casting contingency was lifted” on a pilot.

SECOND POST | AKA, the two words that make fans of “bubble” shows extremely anxious each spring, as stars of low-rated series begin booking pilots (provided they get the OK from their current bosses). The term literally means a pilot role is second/priority if their show is renewed. The fact that an actor has booked a concert in “second position” does not mean always means his current show is doomed… but it usually is. Variation: A “safe secondmeans pilot bosses have been quietly assured that the actor will be be available.

ADVANTAGES | The week in mid-May where the networks take turns revealing their schedules for next season — including which pilots have been ordered to series. With rare exceptions, if your show doesn’t make the cut here, you’re screwed.
