Is there a difference between "superior autobiographical memory" and "eidetic" memory?

On the TV series “Criminal Minds”, one of the characters, Dr. Spencer Reid, is said to have eidetic memory. There is another TV series, “Unforgettable”, where the main character Carrie Wells, has “hyperthymesia” or “superior autobiographical memory”. What are the differences between these phenomena, and how often do they actually occur?
