They don’t make much sense nowadays, but when you didn’t have access to the episodes and seasons were 20+ episodes it wasn’t so bad. Plus when they got creative with the framing device I think it worked well.
Take for example the season 9 episode 11 episode “All Singing All Dancing”, which you can see on the chart as the lowest rated episode of season 9. I still sing the “Paint Your Wagon” song or think of Snake’s weird singing voice. Sure that could have been the B plot for a different episode, but the new parts of the episode we got was great.
Sometimes they are, but ironically, as the clips weren’t actually shown before. Like “Morty’s Mind Blowers”, and I’m pretty sure Community did it a few times.
Season 6, episode 3 was a clip show, in case anyone else was wondering what happened there.
Even as a kid I hated clip episodes.
I’m so glad that those aren’t really a thing anymore.

But yes, they don’t make sense anymore.
