I feel like I need to use this forum to bring attention to the fact that CRAZY EX GIRLFRIEND IS PERFECT TELEVISION AND IT'S ON NETFLIX NOW AND YOU NEED TO WATCH IT OKAY? No one told me that there was a hilarious musical on tv and I was so angry when I started watching that no one told me, like legit furious. So I've decided to become an evangelist for this show and to tell anyone who will listen to me about it. I promise you won't regret it. Okay thanks.

Hey Luke, you're not dumb. I promise. All you need to do is go into the NNF page in the Earwolf section of the app, and pull down to refresh. Maybe go out to the "all shows" page and pull to refresh there too for good measure. The app just needs to ping the API once to pull in all those new archives, and then they should stick around after that. Pull to refresh is the answer in a lot of cases, so just for future reference, always try that first! If you do have any issues with eps disappearing or anything please email support (address in my signature) so that I can get the team on it.
