The thing I hear most about Murrican TV, at least, is that you need to wait until at least halfway into the second season. Which is, what, thirty-odd episodes? Too much.
I don't know about books. Often you don't need more than the first three pages. Most of the interactive fiction I play, I have an excellent idea about from the first screen. Ambivalent cases, things that you have some external reason to expect something of... I don't know. I'd like to say up to the halfway point, but usually it's more a matter of how irate I am.
