"Amazon has revealed which of its original pilots will be picked up to series. The online outlet unveiled 14 free pilot episodes in April and has now commissioned five full series based on customer feedback.  Alpha House - which stars John Goodman as one of four misfit senators who share a house in Washington DC - is the first project to receive a series order. Also continuing are Silicon Valley sitcom Betas and children&amp;#039;s series Annebots, Creative Galaxy and Tumbleaf. &amp;quot;We are thrilled at the enthusiastic customer response to our first original pilots,&amp;quot; said Roy Price, Director of Amazon Studios. &amp;quot;We built Amazon Studios so that customers could help decide which stories would make the very best movies and TV shows. It&amp;#039;s exciting to see the process in motion, doing exactly what we set out to do.&amp;quot; Price also confirmed that Amazon will be trialling more original pilots in the near future. &amp;quot;The success of this first set of pilots has given us the push to try this approach with even more shows,&amp;quot; he announced. &amp;quot;This is just the beginning.&amp;quot;  Amazon&amp;#039;s most high-profile pilot - an adaptation of 2009 film Zombieland - will not be progressing to series, with writer Rhett Rheese blaming the project&amp;#039;s fate on &amp;quot;vehement hate&amp;quot; from &amp;quot;die-hard... fans&amp;quot;. All five new shows will be available from late 2013 and early 2014, exclusively on Amazon&amp;#039;s LoveFilm in the UK. &amp;gt; LoveFilm to stream Amazon Studios pilots Watch a trailer for Alpha House below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
