Parks and rec is one of my favorite shows. I revisit the show every couple years for a rewatch. I hated it the first time I watched it. Then someone told me to make it into the first 3 episodes of season 2 and see how I felt. Turns out season 1 has a very different vibe from the rest of the show going forward. Glad I stuck with it.

I watched 2 and a half full seasons of the sopranos before I gave up on that show. I don't know why but it just did nothing for me.

Most shows I give them ~2-3 episodes to grab me. If they haven't done so by that point I generally move on.
