Depends on the show. Plus it's worth noting that Supernatural's MotW often tied into the overarching story. However, since Supernatural's overarching plot often sucked (it kinda got interesting with the Leviathan, but they rushed that), the stand-alones tended to be better than the continuity episodes.

It can also depend on how the episodic content is handled, since for some shows it feels more like filler.

Conversely, if something goes from being generally episodic to having an overarching story, the overarching story will feel out of place (and it generally also sucks. Shibito no Koe wo Kiku ga Yoi is a great example. Two standalone stories kinda set up a larger, continuing story that took over the entire final volume... and it was garbage)
