It's easy to try out a lot of different shows nowadays, but maybe harder to decide what to stick with. What was the longest you ever watched a show before giving up on it?

There are plenty of shows I happened to stop watching after quite a few episodes, because my schedule changed or their schedule changed or whatever and I just never bothered to catch up. But I think the longest I watched and then specifically gave up on watching was 44 episodes with Grimm. I was not enjoying the zombie arc at the end of season 3 and when it looked like they were picking up with the same for season 4, I decided it was just not it for me anymore lol
