No, I've never written like that. I suspect what you'll have is a big pile of (ahem) quickly-written material with lots and lots of ideas that should contribute to making one great episode.
It takes me about two weeks to write one episode, at roughly 4 or 5 hours a day...longer if I'm unhappy with it. I spend a lot of time staring at the carpet and chewing my fingernails.

Yeah, same with me. It usually takes me much longer to write just one episode. Most of my writing time is taken up by going back over scenes and editing, but, like I said, it all came out like the shits. lol

Well, yes, I would have EXPECTED that too, but I've been over the 6 scripts again with fresh eyes and I'm very happy (in fact over the moon) with all 6 episodes.
It was the confidence about a producer taking it on in the first place I was alluding to Mister J!
Ah, I see. But I did say "if." 
Isn't it a great feeling!
Not experienced this with writing but when I used to produce trance music it happened a couple of times... you feel as tho' you can do no wrong... it's just all inside you, just waiting to get out... and everything you do just works and clicks into place!
Yeah, that's exactly how I felt.
Congratulations on having a creative spurt, as it were. The only thing I can assure you, as a fellow newbie writer, is that whatever episode you send in as your pilot, EVERYONE will be having input on what will become a submission draft. If you get interest you will be doing a lot of re-writing of the same story in order to lock down the characters and satisfy TV land to spend money on you. Really good to have stories for further episodes, no writing is wasted time, but your pilot once established will lead your further episodes. All the best with it, just know that your submission pilot will be subject to all sorts of opinions before it goes to network.

Thanks for the input, Tim. All taken on board.
I doubt I'll ever have a spurt like that again. I reckon I'll be going back to my usual week/2week per episode routine fromnow on.
I write alot of my sketches like that. An idea just comes to me at random that I have to write down and only slight tinkering has to be done. It's just clear in my head as soon as the idea hits.
Strange really. The best ideas require the least effort.
Yeah, at least 80% of my sketches happen like that too.
Quite often, I think of the sketch premise and the first load of lines, then HAVE to tap away at the keyboard straight away, even though I have no ending planned. Luckily, I do have an ending by the time I get there.

The same thing happened to me with my drama, I got so into it that I've written the first 8 episodes! I'm thinking about the ninth one too. You're right, producers are bound to change stuff but they also like to see that you've thought ahead. I wrote a comedy film recently in two weeks, I'm happy with it and have sent it to my writing course lecturer to read and give feedback on.

I reckon if you've got the "flow" then just let it.... er... well... flow!
