Maybe there's another untapped market that Amazon has inadvertently stumbled across here.

On the other hand, Zombieland's failure to make it past the pilot stage could be the first time a show has been effectively cancelled by its own fans (and in the process denying them a whole series they could have spent hours hate-watching).

The recent success of the Kickstarter campaign to fund a Veronica Mars film offers a new, more practical solution for fans of cancelled TV shows – the chance to put money where their mouths are. And of course, way before Netflix decided there might be money in bringing back the Bluth banana stand, the Fox mailroom was inundated with bananas whenever they threatened to pull the plug on Arrested Development.

But after reviewing the "customer" feedback and checking the viewing metrics (how many people continued watching until the end, for example), Amazon Studios has decided there won't be a new dawn for the Zombieland movie's TV spin-off.Ī few typical comments from the one-star pile: "I can't overstate how bad this show is. So far, they've picked two: Alpha House (John Goodman stars as a work-shy Republican walking and talking around Washington) and Betas (wannabe app coders in Silicon Valley try to land a big-fish investor). The pilots are out in the open where everyone can have a say … Our customers will determine what goes into full-season production."
