[QUOTE][B]Fourteen pilot shows - including Alpha House and Zombieland - are to be put to the public vote on Lovefilm and Amazon.com.[/B]
Viewers can submit feedback influencing which shows get made into full series.
The 14 shows are made by independent production companies and produced by Amazon Studios, the film and series production arm of Amazon.
"This is the first time Amazon Studios has done this," said Simon Morris, Lovefilm's chief marketing officer.
Eight adult comedies and six children's animation series will be put to the public vote.
The shows will be aired on Amazon's pay subscription services - Amazon Prime in the US, and Lovefilm in the UK - but Morris told the BBC they would be available to everyone and not just subscribers.

This is how they're fairing against netflix? Not a bad idea, gotta start somewhere.
Onstar still works in Zombieland series. So I assume they'll be plenty of ads if this is picked up.
Well the Zombieland series looks horrendous.

That actually looks pretty funny, if you are into bad jokes and in-your-face humour, like most of America...

I thought it was funny at first, then I noticed the jokes were like:
"I'm playing Super Mario on a poorly coded emulator"

that isn't a fucking joke, that's my life :(
Onion News Empire is the only good series, Dark Minions would be better if their pilot wasn't 70% story board and weed jokes

This is exactly the kind of compelling television I wish to see!
The Zombieland pilot was pretty bad and awkward. The only way a Zombieland series would work is if they use the original actor's from the movie.
As I said in another post, Zombieland would work as a series if the characters were different.
This guy isn't as badass as Woody Harrelson, the girl isn't as hot as Emma Stone etc.
Surely you can make a good series without having to retcon what made the original film great?
