I never thought of grabbing firsts, but it sounds like an interesting way to find new things to watch. What search syntax do you use? The best I can come up with on short notice would be:
 program.category_type='series'
 AND program.previouslyshown=0
 AND program.syndicatedepisodenumber REGEXP '^0*1$'
 AND program.category NOT IN ('Children','Animated')
The only thing that would miss is pilots. Do they show up as a distinct category_type when they're in the schedule?

Custom Record (as per http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-12.html#ss12.5 ). One of the example SQL queries (use right and left arrows to select example clauses) is for first episodes.

Must be an SVN thing. I'm running 0.18.1-5 and it has no such example on my system. It does have a "new episodes" rule but that simply looks for anything that's not a repeat, whereas I'm looking for series/season premiers.
You're right ( http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/programs/mythfrontend/customrecord.cpp?rev=6793 ). On the bright side, 0.19 /should/ be out before the new season starts next September. ;) Unfortunately, you might not get notified of some of the midseason starts... :(

From programs/mythfrontend/customrecord.cpp:

First Episodes (complete example for Data Direct)
program.previouslyshown = 0
AND program.programid LIKE 'EP%0001'
AND DAYOFYEAR(program.originalairdate) =
   DAYOFYEAR(program.starttime)
