  "account": "Here are 15 Friends episodes you can easily skip on a rewatch:\n\nThe One with the Evil Orthodontist: Rachel's affair with her ex-fiancé is regrettable and disappointing.\n\nThe One with Phoebe's Ex-Partner: Phoebe's predictable and unfunny storyline with her ex-singing partner is unpleasant.\n\nThe One with Ginger: Chandler's dating a woman with a prosthetic leg, including the jokes about Joey's accidental burning of her leg, are offensive and dated.\n\nThe One with the Invitation: The first clip show episode, this one is notoriously low-rated and feels unnecessary in a binge-watch.\n\nThe One Where Rachel Smokes: This episode is forgettable, with unamusing storylines and subpar jokes.",
  "summary": "Between clip shows, poorly aged jokes, and Ross' bad behavior, Friends has a handful of episodes that you can easily skip and lose nothing on your next rewatch.",
