Just order the seasons and watch at leisure, if the stories don't strike you, it's not like Buffy or Babylon 5 where it builds to a crescendo that blows your mind out of the blue.
Hey, is it OK if I take a bathroom break from 1:45 to 2:00 of The Godfather?
Sure, but if you love the the movie, you'll miss a lot of important stuff, and if you don't love it by 1:45, you might as well turn it off.

I think there is a difference between taking a 15 minute break from the Godfather to miss scenes that are critically important to the plot, and saving hours of your time on episodes that are mostly not all that funny and contribute absolutely nothing to the plot. There are way too many throwaway episodes in the last 2 seasons. Sure, watch them if you want. But I know lots of people who skipped most of the last 2 seasons and seemed to enjoy the show's final run more than those of us who were so fatigued by the show completely jumping the shark.
