It's moderately entertaining because the producers pulled great scenes, going all the way back to the funeral of Lamont Goldfish early in Season 1, as well as the CLASSIC episode about Theo's designer shirt from that same season.
But let's be clear here: IT's A CLIP SHOW. The framing device is good, involving a chat which develops from Elvin's distress over a fight with Sondra. But still. CLIP SHOW.
Compared to clip shows in other long-running classic sitcoms, it's good. And I understand how such episodes served as marketing tools for new viewers back in the day.
I just personally find clip shows to be lazy. Especially now in the age of on-demand and streaming services. Watch the entire series. It's pretty good.
