If you missed an episode of a show on cable television. Well, you’re shit out of luck unless it’s a show that the network didn’t mind running re-runs of, but re-runs only applied for shows that were popular. And if you missed an episode of a show that wasn’t popular, again you were shit out of luck and hope to one day acquire it through a VHS or a DVD or these days, blu-ray or on streaming.
Yes, but no. Cable didn’t used to let you watch all seasons of a specific show on any given day and time of your choosing.
Pretty much.

Network programming was always like this.
