New shows you tried but are not planning to continue watching
Nothing new this season has really grabbed me yet, but these two have already worn out their welcome for me:
THE PLAYBOY CLUB
RINGER
There are a few others that may fall off my schedule very soon, but we'll see how they progress during the next few weeks.
And what new shows have you already seen and are planning to ignore?

I haven't deleted any season passes yet, but Ringer, New Girl and Free Agents are the closest to being cut. Up All Night is not far behind them.

New Girl. I like Zooey (in movies and her singing) but not this show.

Re: New shows you tried but are not planning to continue watching
I've checked out Prime Suspect, Person of Interest and Terra Nova this year and so far, I'm keeping them all.
I'm closer to dumping Glee than any of the new ones.

2 Broke Girls and Charlie's Angels.
There are many that I haven't bothered with (and won't) at all.

Ringer. I don't know why I was stupid enough to give it a shot, since I always thought that SMG was the weakest part of Buffy.

Re: New shows you tried but are not planning to continue watching
For me it's only Free Agents. It's a combo of it not being funny at all and seeing how awful the ratings are after Up All Night.

Re: New shows you tried but are not planning to continue watching
None that I've sampled - all been good.
I've added:
2 Broke Girls
New Girl
Charlie's Angels
Person of Interest
The Secret Circle
Pan Am
But I have Up All Night and Ringer unwatched on my DVR and based on word of mouth, I don't plan on trying them. I tend to like shows if I like the previews, and I liked the previews of all of the ones I've added.

Re: New shows you tried but are not planning to continue watching
Love Zooey, but New Girl might be the most obnoxious sitcom I've ever seen. Granted, I don't watch that many -- but sitting through it was like nails on a chalkboard for me.
Also bailed on Ringer. I'll give Charlie's Angels one more shot. I'm hoping it improves, but I'm fairly certain I'll be out by tomorrow night. Despite their hotness, the characters are pure cardboard. Same with A Gifted Man on CBS. I can see that premise getting stale really fast if his dead wife is the only ghost he keeps seeing. I like Patrick Wilson, but the set-up feels like a Hallmark movie. They should have just renewed Medium instead.
I actually thought The Playboy Club improved in the second episode, so I might hang with it a bit more. I'll give Prime Suspect and Pan Am another shot as well, though I'm not enthusiastic about either show. The only new series I've enjoyed are Terra Nova and Secret Circle.

Re: New shows you tried but are not planning to continue watching
Pan Am is the only thing I've tried this season that I don't care to continue with.
Happy with Up All Night, New Girl, Tera Nova (for now). I seriously don't get all the New Girl hate.

Re: New shows you tried but are not planning to continue watching
Nothing officially but Playboy Club looks like it'll be a casualty. I have the second ep on the DVR, I might as well check it out before dumping it all together.
New Girl was pretty damn weak yesterday but my Tuesdays are generally empty so it might catch a break. I like Zooey enough to keep it for a few more weeks.
Up All Nightwas one a done. Mostly because Wednesday is a full DVR night for me. If it was on Tuesdays it would probably stick.
Whitney gets a few more weeks solely based on it's time slot.
So far only Persons of Interest has a guaranteed weekly recording. I haven't gotten around to seeing Terra Nova yet. Two Broke Girls is in but it's expendable if something better comes along.

Turned off Prime Suspect about 10 minutes in. It's amazing how she's surviving in a man's world, and still surviving and still surviving. Please tell me again if she succeeds!
And we really disliked the first Up All Night. The second one had an error in recording. I could seek it out on demand, but probably isn't worth the effort.

New Shows:
Terra Nova - I think I am going to ride this out to the end, which depending on ratings might be a year or two.
New Girl - Looks like this is locked in for the year (ratings are high), After a couple of episode looks like we will watch for at least 4-5 episodes.
Up All Night - Decent after 2 episodes, might stick with it for awhile
Not new shows, but new shows for us:
Community/Parks and Rec: We both really like this, even though we are jumping in kind of late

Re: New shows you tried but are not planning to continue watching
Have three episodes of Ringer on the DVR. Not sure if I should actually start or just dump 'em now. I'm tempted to just fast forward to the infamous and apparently laughable boat scene in the pilot...
