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.

The latest round of Amazon’s comedy pilots up for voting are here. 

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. 

Start streaming Jean-Claude Van Johnson, I Love Dick, and The Tick here.

Looks like Amazon has got their own set of reboots in the works to match Netflix.

Not only is The Tick being revived from being a cult favorite both as a cartoon and a live action show, but Amazon is having Peter Serafinowicz, a Brit whom you have seen in anything from Shaun of the Dead to Spy to Parks and Recreation to Guardians of the Galaxy to this pretty great dubbing of a Trump speech in posh and cockney accents, don the skin tight blue sight and likely delightfully utter, “Spoon!” a lot.

We are wondering when the reboot train might ever stop, but Serafinowicz as The Tick has definitely peaked our interest.

According to a source for People.com, Patrick Warburton might be reprising his role, skin tight blue suit, antennae, and all, as The Tick for Amazon. Supposedly, The Tick’s creator, Bed Edlund will be writing and producing the revival of the series, but further details on Amazon’s plans for the series are currently unavailable.

For now, we can all just dream about shouting “Spoon!” and have it not be completely weird to do that.
