NO. They gave you the season and episode number, which is all you need. It is painfully easy to Google that info, because it is obviously on Wikipedia, which will have the release date of every episode and more. This is not hard to understand, and in 2024, you should definitely be technologically literate enough to know how to google search a season#+episode#

From what I read years ago, it is (was?) a licensing issue with the cable companies. Contractually, they *couldn't* provide the full catalog.

Watching fareed zakaria call the modi regime exciting and describing it in economic terms instead of the raging hindu nationalism it bore was painful
That was genuinely hard to watch

There are adults alive today who never lived in a United States where gay marriage was fully illegal
10 years you mean?
oh wait never mind
Yep, everyone can marry except disabled people on SSI survival/subsistence benefits. Look it up.
"Why walk through the valley the shadow of death when you can drive" is amazingly funny
