Are there any episodes you skip?

I know it's sad but my husband and l have watched the series through at least ten times and there are a few episodes I like to skip. I was wondering if anyone else is the same. I dong know episode numbers but I skip:

- The one that explains the back story with Toby's dad.

- The 9/11 'special'

- The one where CJ goes home for a school reunion and visits her dad

- The one which is a series of interviews; a day in the life of a White House press secretary.

And I would happily skip the following if my husband would agree:

- The one where Sam finds out his dad is a cheater

- The one where the North Korean pianist asks to defect.

None not a bad one in the series.....I did not like the one where Josh had his breakdown, then I read it was an award winning script......

All of season 5 except for "The Supremes" and the one with the Sesame Street muppets.

The one where the Muslim staffer is detained and accused him of being a terrorist, deliberate questions because of something they thought he was involved in and then it turns out it was someone else who had his name.

I adore this show and from season 1-4 I think it is quite simply the best show ever written however (with the exception of the very last episode in season 4 when it went off the rails). After then it is hit and miss. I tend to skip most of season 5 which was painful as everyone had a complete personality transplant. S6 has some great moments but I watch it from about ep 3 onwards and season 7 is ok too.
I never liked Amy and I didn't get Santos or his wife. None of that worked for me at all sadly. Most of the good casting and writing died a death after Aaron left.

None although I watch The Longest Goodbye the least because my gran has Alzheimer's and Dementia so it's hard to watch.
