Now's your chance to decide Amazon's next TV shows - Amazon has announced its 5 new pilots

As Amazon and Netflix battle over which company makes the best original streaming shows, one big difference is in their respective processes for making them.

While Netflix has totally abandoned the traditional TV "pilot" system, and commissions full seasons of shows at once, Amazon has a "pilot season" where the company lets Prime members give feedback on which shows they want full seasons of.

Amazon's next pilot season debuts March 17, and on Thursday the company announced its slate of shows. The pilots range from a superhero comedy set in Las Vegas, to a housewife trying to make it as a stand-up comic, to a chaplain sent into space.

Amazon has been ramping up its investment in video over the last few months, and previously said it was doubling its spending on video content in the second half of 2016, compared with the year prior. One expensive item was "The Grand Tour," a new show by Jeremy Clarkson and the "Top Gear" crew, which cost Amazon a reported $250 million.

That show was mean to supercharge Amazon's expansion into 200 countries, and proves Amazon isn't averse to spending big for quality shows.

Here are the 5 pilots Amazon announced Thursday, which you'll be able to give your stamp of approval (or disapproval) on:
