I think I understand what he's saying. Some TV series have a persistent plotline that flows through all the seasons. For instance Babylon 5, last few seasons of Star Trek DS9, and now the new Battlestar Galactica. However some of the episodes are just standalone and don't move the main plot further along.
Some of these are ok to watch, but often they're the worst episodes in the show. At least they're not as interesting. I don't like to watch those episodes myself unless they're particularly good, so often I just skip them. It would be nice if every episode was a major plot episode, but I think TV shows just don't have the budget to do this. They also need to fill a certain quota of episodes for a season, so the plot gets watered down a bit.
