Alpha House, an Amazon original program

Here we go! Just as the media predicted, Amazon is now in the original programming business. The eight comedies and six shows for children are listed on Amazon’s home page on the upper left. Click “Unlimited Instant Videos” and then scroll down to “Amazon Original Pilots.”

Yes, right now the original programming is in the pilot stage and you get to vote which ones become a series. People our age are favoring “Alpha House” starring John Goodman and Mark Consuelos. The 25-minute pilot lays the ground work for a Washington comedy created by Doonesbury’s Garry Trudeau.

So you are now a part of Hollywood. Potential advertisers are busy screening TV programs they may potentially support. You can screen Amazon’s programming and it won’t cost you a thing.
