Series are only allowed to remain in the on-demand library for as long as the network contract states. If they can sell DVDs of the series for season 5, or single episodes, why would they keep it in the on-demand library? This is a major source of contention among cable operators and networks. That and the inclusion of commercials in on-demand content, FF capabilities and more.
FYI, I just saw Season 5 on Amazon for digital download. If you really want to watch it.
