Non-series television shows tend to be produced on either an on-going basis (airing daily or weekly) or as a one-time event. Each episode of an on-going show is usually self-contained with little connection to other episodes, other than title, format, hosts, and other on-air personalities.
I'm a bit confused over episode naming. I have seen both Episode-name (Show-name) and Episode-name (Show-name episode) used. General naming convention is to describe WHAT the item is, not where it is from - for example, (actor) and (politician) would be preferred for diambiguating two names, and if there were more than one politician, then (Australian politician) and (Canadian politician ...
And by this very naming standard, we are indeed distinguishing between pilots and other episodes - and you know, I do think we need to distinguish between a pilot and a standard production episode in the article's title, and perhaps even identify a "special" episode (e.g. a 2-hour special or TV Movie).
Why are episode titles supposed to be disambiguated with (Show Title) instead of (Show Title episode)? One reason I ask is because I'm pretty sure that specifying what something actually is instead of just what it's associated with was one of the main reasons for that big change to how articles about TV show seasons are titled earlier this year ...

(I think that in the current usage "pilot" simply means "pilot episode", and conveys the same meaning in one word instead of two ...

==Episode naming== In most cases, for an article created about a single episode, use the title of the episode itself. If that title is already in use, add a disambiguating suffix of (<seriesname>). If an episode title is the same as a character or object from the series which has its own page, disambiguate further with (<seriesname episode>).
