Last April, Amazon debuted the pilots for 14 new, original shows they were considering picking up for their streaming service, Prime Instant Video - the idea was that consumers would be able to watch all of the pilots for free, then vote on which they liked and wanted to see picked up. Now, nearly two months later, the verdict is finally in: According to an announcement from the site today, they have officially chosen five shows to give full season pick-ups to. And no, Zombieland is still not one of them.

The lucky shows are, as follows:

None

If you don't recall, we actually reviewed all of the comedy pilots last month when they were available for free viewing - we ignored the children's programming - and, real talk, we didn't find any of them that great. For instance: Alpha House just offered the revelation that "broad jokes about Republicans aren't as funny as real life," and Betas, in a math equation, was basically "Workaholics x The Big Bang Theory - charisma/talent = fart." Sad face.

But still - they'll all be available in full on Prime Instant Video starting later this year, and in early 2014.
