More than a few low quality episodes, a couple flashback episodes, and extensive repetition before commercial breaks. It wasn’t good TV.

    Clip show episodes worked then because DVRs and on-demand streaming wasn't a thing.
    I remember getting super excited when my parents got a VCR with a timed record function so that we could record shows and watch them on our own schedule.

    I think you're misremembering.

    TNG is mostly good episodes. A lot of them aren't high stakes, but they don't need to be. I don't remember there being more than maybe 4 clipshows in all of TNG, and only 3 episodes make the "truly awful" list.
