More instant titles falsely represented as not available by API

    I see a couple titles that are available for streaming on the website and in the catalog/titles/index, but not when you do a title detail doing an API GET on http://api.netflix.com/catalog/titles/series/70050023/seasons/70106734. You'll see it's not represented as available on streaming, but it certainly is according to the website. Could you please fix these discrepancies as soon as you can?

    To clarify, the above XML response is one instance of several cases where a title is indeed available for streaming, but not according to the API representation of the title detail information.
