All Three Amazon Comedy Pilots, The Tick, I Love Dick, and Jean-Claude Van Johnson, Ordered to Full Series

Looks like Amazon might be getting the hang of this streaming service thing or, at the very least, have a better grasp of what they want their programming to be.

Just a few weeks ago, Amazon streamed all their comedy pilots, the aforementioned The Tick, I Love Dick, and Jean-Claude Van Johnson, per their original programming development model that supposedly works in audience votes into the greenlighting decision process.

We’re not sure exactly what made Amazon brass greenlight all three series which cover a wide range of types of comedy (a live action version of The Tick and a new, sexuality subverting series from Jill Soloway almost seem on the opposite ends of the comedy spectrum), but they have indeed ordered full seasons of all three series.

This also includes the meta, detective comedy Jean-Claude Van Johnson starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as himself going undercover. 

Just hope it won’t be too long before we can start see the rollout of each of these series.

You can watch Jean-Claude Van Damme go undercover as field agent version of himself, Peter Serafinowicz as a live action version of The Tick, and Kathryn Hahn starring in another Jill Soloway directed dramedy and vote on which should go to series.

JCVD the series?

Well, not quite. 

This Amazon action comedy pilot named Jean-Claude Van Johnson for the alter-ego gun-for-hire that Van Damme would play when he’s not busy being a martial arts movie superstar. It’s not quite as meta as JCVD where Van Damme had a existential crisis during a robbery. 

Still, with Peter Atencio whose work you have enjoyed on Key & Peele and Last Man on Earth, the pilot will absolutely worth checking out when Amazon releases it.
