Datetime format questions

[Matt]

Why does the format below not accept dates in this format: [["Date(2017, 09, 10)", 7116.0],...

var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
        data.addColumn('date', 'Time of Day');
        data.addColumn('number', 'Rating');

        data.addRows([
          [new Date(2015, 0, 1), 5],  [new Date(2015, 0, 2), 7],  [new Date(2015, 0, 3), 3],
          [new Date(2015, 0, 4), 1],  [new Date(2015, 0, 5), 3],  [new Date(2015, 0, 6), 4],
          [new Date(2015, 0, 7), 3],  [new Date(2015, 0, 8), 4],  [new Date(2015, 0, 9), 2],
          [new Date(2015, 0, 10), 5], [new Date(2015, 0, 11), 8], [new Date(2015, 0, 12), 6],
          [new Date(2015, 0, 13), 3], [new Date(2015, 0, 14), 3], [new Date(2015, 0, 15), 5],
          [new Date(2015, 0, 16), 7], [new Date(2015, 0, 17), 6], [new Date(2015, 0, 18), 6],
          [new Date(2015, 0, 19), 3], [new Date(2015, 0, 20), 1], [new Date(2015, 0, 21), 2],
          [new Date(2015, 0, 22), 4], [new Date(2015, 0, 23), 6], [new Date(2015, 0, 24), 5],
          [new Date(2015, 0, 25), 9], [new Date(2015, 0, 26), 4], [new Date(2015, 0, 27), 9],
          [new Date(2015, 0, 28), 8], [new Date(2015, 0, 29), 6], [new Date(2015, 0, 30), 4],
          [new Date(2015, 0, 31), 6], [new Date(2015, 1, 1), 7],  [new Date(2015, 1, 2), 9]
        ]);

FYI, this is a workaround for anyone who is interested: 

var dateArray = ({{ ganttdata|safe }});

      for(var i = 0; i < dateArray.length; i++){

        dateArray[i][0] = new Date(dateArray[i][0]); // Set dateArray[i][0] to a `new Date()` with as value the string in `dateArray[i][0]`;

      }

      

        // Some raw data (not necessarily accurate)

      var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();

      data.addColumn('date', 'Week');

      data.addColumn('number', 'Planned Dollars');

      data.addRows(dateArray);
