Pre-series Pilot
Rod Serling wrote a teleplay intending for it to be the pilot episode of a new series called The Twilight Zone. Although it ended up airing on a different show, Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse, it is still considered the pilot episode of The Twilight Zone and has even been adapted as one of The Twilight Zone radio-show episodes.

Blessing all lands with its charity.”
