I've been using Google Drive to store a lot of data in in Google 
Spreadsheets so that I can quickly build graphs and such. Piece of cake. 
Now, I want to move that data to a database and build a little MVC 4 web 
app to serve that data. Piece of cake. Adding Google Charts was also a 
piece of cake until I tried to use the AreaChart. Not sure if I have the 
data in the right format or what, but I am stumped and need some help. Here 
is my code. Perhaps I'm making it too difficult on myself and there's an 
easier way. Many thanks.

*ChartController method*
public JsonResult GetAreaChartData()
{
    List<string[]> data = new List<string[]>();
    data.Add(new[] { "Month", "Bolivia", "Ecuador", "Madagascar", "Papua 
New Guinea", "Rwanda" });
    data.Add(new[] { "2004/05", "165", "938", "522", "998", "450" });
    data.Add(new[] { "2005/06", "135", "1120", "599", "1268", "288" });
            
    return Json(data);
}

*Chart.cshtml*

        var tdata = new google.visualization.DataTable();
        var rows = data.length;
        var cols = data[0].length;
        

        tdata.addColumn('string', data[0][0]);
        for (var i = 0; i < cols; i++)
        {
            tdata.addColumn('number', data[0][i]);
