Pilot (Preacher)
"Pilot" is the series premiere of the supernatural drama television series "Preacher", which originally aired on AMC in the United States on May 22, 2016. The episode was written by the creators of the television adaptation, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and Sam Catlin; with both Rogen and Goldberg directing. The pilot encore was followed by "Talking Preacher", AMC's after-show hosted by Chris Hardwick.
Training Day (Archer)
FX originally planned on pairing "Archer" with the fifth season of the network's situation comedy "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" on Thursday nights in the Fall. However, the network learned of the month-long production period needed to create the necessary six episodes, and realized that there was not enough time to have all of the episodes ready before "Philadelphia" began its new season. FX instead decided to release a sneak airing of the pilot episode "Mole Hunt" on September 17, 2009, without any promotion or announcement, and began broadcast of the first season with "Training Day" on January 14, 2010.
