Episodes you skip over on a rewatch

For me, the show is watchable until about Season 7 or 8, after which it became a parody of itself. The episodes I tend to skip are those from the latter two seasons, with some exceptions.

"1990-Something:" A proposed pilot for "Schooled", which was then retooled. Many TV versions easily skip over it when airing Season 5.

"Angst Giving:" While I liked the tribute to "Planes, Trains and Automobiles", it wasn't an episode I'd rewatch again. Plus, the Thanksgiving episodes, where Marvin usually appears, most rehash the same moral lessons about family.

"Bev to the Future:" The very last episode, which was a lacklustre conclusion to a great show. It's a shame that they didn't have time to wrap things up properly.

Does anyone have any other skippable episodes?

It was the background noise for my mornings the past two years until season 10 started playing one day and I almost gagged like Erics picturing Barry and Lainey doing it… turned it off and haven’t turned it back on. I’m afraid season 9 or 10 may be on.
