Why are some episodes of TV shows omitted from streaming platforms?
I recently had a memory from a joke from an old episode of "I Love Lucy" (Season 5 Episode 22). I saw that the series was streaming on Hulu, but this particular episode is missing! In fact, it looks like many episodes are omitted from the platform.
I've seen this issue before. Why might this happen?
