I hated when it suddenly vanished! Cheston and Brandon were always bumping heads! Where are the free episodes and why aren't there more? There were lots of episodes... (maybe I am not looking here enough?) Why does Google Play not have service like netflix? Pay once then view as many shows as many times as you like? I am not sure I like the pay Every time I watch an episode. Watch 4 episodes here, and I have paid for a month of Netflix where I can watch thousands of episodes! OR is there an option?
