Not really. For most series, you miss important characterization, backstory and story elements if you skip ahead that much. For Parks & Recs, the first season doesn’t matter at all.
“it gets better after 35 episodes” for story-heavy series generally implies that you have to actually sit through those episodes, or at least read summaries of them.
Friends episodes are very self-contained anyway. There is very little context that can actually be missed if you skip forward. You can pretty much watch whatever amount of Friends episodes starting from whatever episode you want.

I could start watching Friends in the last season and not have missed a single thing.
