I love monty python's flying circus, but it would be nice for it to be avaliable for me to buy it on Google play in America, so once it is I will buy it and I will change my review.

Hysterical!! But $2 for an episode?? Wow. I know production rights aka syndication is very very muddy water with the Youtube giant and network programming wondering where the floor is for ALL that advertising money but seriously?? Being a dmDroid user/purchaser. Srason should be $10 (maybe $15) at most! I can watch the entire series on Netflix ($8/month)... C'mon Man!! The show is divine humor regardless of generation, gender, etc.

I wanted to like Google video offerings, but this pricing is just a ripoff.
