Pretty much.

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.

Network programming was always like this.

That is also the reason everything reset to the status quo at the end of every episode.
