It really depends on the type of show and the theme. A comedy can be judged in less than an episode. For a drama I think it's acceptable for 2-3 episodes being required. If it's a theme I enjoy, a mediocre show can get half a season of runway.

A network comedy should not be judged on its first episode IMO, since that is usually the pilot and the actual show starts with episode 2.
