    The idea of a “bottle episode” came about from producers running out of money and needing to do something cheap with what they had on hand. The long seasons gave creators a chance to try new things. You got backdoor pilots like Star Trek’s “Assignment : Earth.”

        Depends on the show and how much you like it.

        I can still get a few chuckles out of “Spock’s Brain.”

        I think most people watch a show wanting to plot to progress but some really enjoy the break and doing something else even if it’s bad they like the variety.
