I don't know if it's me but Onion News is the stupidest shit I've ever seen. How is it still around?

Anything with Clancy Brown is good.

Been using Prime a while now, was worth it before all this crap. Just a bonus.

Yeah same here. Since I do a lot of shopping from amazon its worth it for the free 2day shipping alone. I really like the idea that the viewers actually have a say in which pilots will be picked up, makes sense.

I watched the pilot for Betas. It's OK at best. Like a slightly better average prime time comedy. Would almost expect a laugh track after how bad some scenes are. The episode ends on a note though that it might get kind of Entourage-esque which could be cool. Plus I like the fact that I recognize a lot of the food trucks and places in the show.

I watched the pilot for Zombieland, wasn't terribly impressed, and I think they seriously screwed up the casting on 3 of the 4 main characters. The movie was more than just a comedy - the pilot was not (even though they tried).

Pretty awesome for Amazon to put up all those pilots -- I don't see why networks don't do that as well? Might prevent ordering a show or two that will end up bombing. Also, thumbs up to Netflix for starting this direct-to-internet production thing. The shows beat what's airing on network TV for sure.


Alpha House: Really looking forward to more of that, so I hope it makes the cut.

Betas: Hope it's picked up; has good potential.

Browsers: No, just no.

Onion News Empire: "You know what the Nr. 1 hobby in Latvia is? Sadness." -- also, mall shooter shot by second mall shooter. Kinda funny, but didn't even make it to 5mins.

Those Who Can't: No, just no.

Zombieland: Opening scene was hilarious. Would watch again -- hope it gets picked up, too.

Zomblieland officially out, Browsers almost certainly gone

In a surprising move, Amazon Studios has passed on the pilot for Zombieland, meaning that there will be no full season pickup for the expensive comedy pilot on Amazon Prime?s streaming service.
Deadline reports that Alpha House and Betas currently are the best bets to get season orders

Weak on Zombieland... that really deserved a season. I can see why they'd go with Alpha House and Betas, though... both are good. Could have gone with a third show, though. Not like Amazon is hurting for cash.

I don't know if there is a thread yet, but Alpha House is now available weekly on Amazon's streaming service. I read that Betas is too, but I don't see it.
