All of this. There's nothing wrong with a beach episode or a hot springs episode or an episode where the gang finds a lost puppy and spends the episode trying to find its owner. The problem happens when the lost puppy plot turns into a ten-episode arc that really didn't need to exist and only detracts from the larger narrative. You could tell it was just being written and dragged out to fill air time rather than because it was serving any sort of meaningful character development or story purpose.

There are plenty of shows that genuinely need a 52-episode or more run in order to tell their full story. There are also plenty of shows that could have been trimmed down to half that length without actually losing anything.
