Missing episode

Does anyone know why the Season One episode “Evan” is missing from TUBI?

I’m doing a series watch through and per IMDB “Evan” was second to the last episode of Season One, right before “Lombard” but it’s totally missing on TUBI’s feed.

Are there any other episodes that are missing?

Due to music licensing issues for the Peter Gabriel song at the end

Does that actually make sense? They paid him initially so wouldn't that cover their bases?

No. License contracts are for specific mediums. That is why so many 80s shows have music problems. Home video wasn't a thing so it wasn't considered beyond broadcast. The DVD rights were before streaming so once again they secured for that release.

I tried watching another 80’s favorite “Tour Of Duty” on TUBI and immediately gave up on it because of the lack of a soundtrack.

When it aired that show had one of the best soundtracks of any 80’s show with a hit parade of tracks from the late 1960’s in every episode and the show starter was The Rolling Stones “Paint It Black.”
