You did!
The term "Pilot" comes from a "Pilot Light", or, the ignition point for something larger. It's less about "taking the show off" and more about gauging interest levels and building the foundation for what's to come.
Your analogy is a lot more whimsical though, which I like.
I'm curious to know where the pilot part of Pilot Light come from.
