Thread: New TV shows- How many Episodes do you give it ???

I have no control over the TV. That is a device that is the domain of woman, children and men with soft minds . I watch very little of it and really do not get into series or drama shows.... watching paint dry is more interesting.

I'm a bit like Jim here. I don't watch that much. I usually try to find a movie to watch of an evening, after the kids and the wife are finished with the T.V. I do follow a couple of series, but they are set to record for when time allows me to watch them. It usually takes me up to three episodes tops, to decide if I like it or not, and then that is no guarantee that I will follow it for more than a season.
Current series being watched are 'Arrow' and 'Sleepy Hollow'. 'Once upon a time' didn't last me more than five episodes before I was board with it and 'Game of Thrones' is viewed due to peer pressure and gratuitous nudity and violence only. If I missed any more episodes I wouldn't be at a loss at all, as it is rather mind numbing.

WORLD AT WAR has a new season on the Military Channel?


Have to check that out.


Haven't watched any "network" stuff other than the local news and weather in ages.

For me, its just two. I'll give the first one a chance. But if the second one doesn't entertain - I'm out.

Just waiting for the new season of Game of Thrones. Honestly I still miss Eureka.

I watch sports mostly, but caught the pilot of Sleepy Hollow on the DVR. Pretty cool, so far.............................

I don't really watch broadcast tv or cable. I don't have cable/satellite and I can only pickup one station with my antenna, and that only barely. I mainly watch on Netflix or Amazon and occasionally on Hulu. However when watching a new show on any of those it really depends. If the first episode cannot hold my interest at all, its dumped right there. If it isn't great but I see promise, then it is evaluated episode by episode. Some nominal shows I'll keep watching hoping they finally make good on the little bit of promise they show, others though I eventually decide there isn't enough good to hope for that overcomes the crap.

The wife and I just watched the first 2 episodes, she liked it, I was honing, but it was good enough to make me stop a few times and watch closer, has promise...

Honestly the show that gave me the idea for the thread was "The Blacklist" I really want to like it, it has real potential, but I sure hope it gets a bit more intriguing otherwise it might not stay on the DVR

Usually get a feeling from the first ep. 3-5 eps I know for sure.
I keep expecting that guy on Sleepy Hollow to say his name is Ichabod Mudd with 2 d's.

My wife watches TV. I read books. I've seen more episodes of "Say Yes to the Dress" than I ever thought I would have to be exposed to and know far more about the Kardashians than I want to. TV makes reading fun.

Eh, for me it's three, but I'll say I definitely want to be wowed by the third episode if the first two aren't so great.

Then there are those that grab you in the first few minutes. I caught on to Walking dead after the first season hit Netflix. It was about 10:45 at night on a Friday, SWMBO and the boy were already asleep, but I was wide awake. I started looking for something good and new to watch. Saw the show, figured "Hey, zombies!" and fired up the first episode. At about 2:00 a.m. I knew I should go to bed, but I just couldn't stop watching...

I've had similar experiences with "Suits" and "White Collar" on the lighter side of things, and "Revolution" on the darker side.
