      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.

      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.

      But yes, they don’t make sense anymore.
