only essential episodes?

Does anyone know of a list (or can make up a list) that includes only the essential Inuyasha episodes - in other words, a list that excludes all the episodic, one-off episodes that don't contribute to the overall story?

I know that the side stories can be fun, but I kinda want to get through this series without having to sit and watch nearly 200 episodes.


I guess if anyone also really, really recommends a certain side story episode that is just amazing, then you can add that here, too.
