Down Dog
This comedy satirizes yoga culture in Los Angeles, focusing on a couple who own a yoga studio. The boyfriend in the relationship breaks up with the girlfriend, and he is forced to "face reality for the first time."
The 30-minute show stars Josh Casaubon (I Just Want My Pants Back), Paget Brewster (Criminal Minds), and Kris Kristofferson (Lone Star).
Salem Rogers: Model of the Year 1998
This comedy features Leslie Bibb (About a Boy) and Rachel Dratch (Saturday Night Live) as a former model and her "browbeaten former assistant," respectively. The series centers on this former model who gets out of rehab after a decade, only to discover that the world around her has changed and nobody really cares about her anymore.
Salem Rogers is also a 30-minute pilot, which is actually directed by Mark Waters, who directed Mean Girls.
Amazon users can watch both shows for free here and give feedback on which should be kept on and made into a series.
