Streaming TV and Google Video

So, the Google taking over the world post from the other day took another step forward today - they're streaming the first episode of Everybody Hates Chris over the wide world interweb thing. Admittedly, it's a week after it broadcast on TV, so there's probably a few copies of this floating around a file sharing server near you, but this is legal, and I think a step in the right direction. I haven't watched it yet, so I don't know if the adverts are still in (or if you can tivo'esque like fast forward through them), or whether you can make the picture bigger, and haven't spoken to the brothers on the other side of the Atlantic to see if they check which region your connecting from, but this is kind of exciting - it's like, the future.
