Two coworkers got into it over skipping a show's pilot, and I can't pick a side
Last Thursday at my bar, two regulars got loud about whether you should ever skip a pilot. One guy said he always gives a show three episodes before quitting, and the other said life is too short and he bails after 20 minutes. The three episode guy said he almost gave up on a show at episode two and now it's his favorite thing ever. The other guy said he's wasted whole weekends on stuff he didn't even like because of that rule. So which one is right, hold out for three episodes or trust your gut in the first 20 minutes?
