Brittany Snow (“Pitch Perfect 2”), Sharon Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne will lead the voice cast of “Fancy Bastards,” a new animated half-hour pilot that MTV has ordered from Titmouse, Inc. The comedy’s voice cast also includes Natasha Leggero (“Neighbors”), Nasim Pedrad (“Saturday Night Live”), John Roberts (“Bob’s Burgers”), Jameeliah Garrett (“Supanatural”) and Jessica Lowe (“Blended”). The story is set in a small town where five of its most awkward misfits learn that they all share the same father — an infamous red-headed scoundrel of a prince who had a wild night in Las Vegas nine years prior. His five kids revel.

We asked Lily Sparks, Price Peterson and Ryan Sandoval, the creators of the Amazon original pilot Supanatural to tell us more about the show. They asked if we would accept answers in the form of GIFs. We said, “Spider, please!”
Supanatural is about two best friends who have dealt with supernatural phenomena for so long and so easily, that nowadays when some overwhelming horror like this happens
their reaction is this
Hezbah and Lucretia are not impressed by things you would consider to be your Worst Nightmare. They handle demons, ghosts, and ghouls on the regular and frankly they’d rather just clear their DVR and gossip about slutty sorceresses they know. Unfortunately nobody in the world has their knowledge or experience when it comes to apocalyptic threats, so when push comes to shove our heroes Will take care of business.
Why this world, why these characters?
Because it’s...

With the recent release of House of Cards and Hemlock Grove, Netflix has established serious interest in the original programming market. Amazon, another major player in online streaming services with Prime Instant Video, has made the first major step to follow suit. Late last week, 16 pilots were made available for free streaming on Amazon – 8 comedies and 6 children’s series. Most buzz has surrounded the pilot for Zombieland, a series written by the creators of the 2009 film of the same name. But some of the other pilots feature experienced production and acting credits (notably John Goodman in Alpha House and Jeffrey Tambor in Onion News Empire). Amazon is letting viewers fill out mini-surveys for each pilot as a means of collecting feedback to help decide whether or not a series gets picked up for a full season. Sound On Sight is here to offer some feedback for the comedy pilots:

AmazonStudios is taking a more unusual approach by letting viewers decide what they want to keep watching. The company has kicked off its screening process this weekend by unveiling its inaugural slate of 14 pilots — eight comedies and six kids shows, all made available for free on AmazonInstant Video, LoveFilm UK and LoveFilm Germany. Viewers are being invited to watch the pilots and Amazon is welcoming feedback from its audience. According to Deadline, the company will evaluate feedback from an online panel recruited on Amazon preview as well as traditional offline focus groups to decide if they greenlight a series or not. The highest-profile series is Zombieland, but the two that look most interesting are Alpha House, starring John Goodman with cameos by Bill Murray and Stephen Colbert; and Onion News Empire. Amazon has not yet decided how many of the shows will make the cut, nor when they will premiere.

Amazon Studios has released 14 pilots on Prime Instant Video, including one based on the feature “Zombieland.” The content creation arm of the online retail giant is using a unique development model with potentially significant ramifications for actors, who could find themselves out of work if the viewers don’t actively respond to their pilot. The company is asking for viewer feedback, which it will use to determine which pilots go to series. It’s possible that an actor with a large social media presence could influence the process by asking his or her followers to fill out Amazon’s viewer survey. The pilots are a mix of six children’s pilots and eight comedies. Some of the other comedies include “Alpha House,” written by cartoonist Garry Trudeau, which stars John Goodman and Mark Consuelos as two of four senators who live together in a rented house in Washington, D.C.
