The OC. I stopped watching sometime in the second season, skipped the third season completely. Came back once Marissa was dead and unexpectedly adored Taylor/Ryan and it's genuinely one of my favorite seasons of television ever.
I think House is the only show I loved, stopped watching, started watching again, loved (this was thanks largely to Anne Dudek and the Survivor-type storyline,) hated again, stopped watching again. I'm pretty good about pulling the plug on shows that piss me off or just plain bore me.
More mildly, I spent most of 30 Rock's third season sort of disliking Liz/Tina for reasons I could never put my finger on. I was terrified it would turn me off the show, which was one of my absolute favorites for the entirety of its run (other than the first few very shaky episodes) but just as mysteriously, come the fourth season, I loved Liz/Tina again just as much as ever, if not more than before.
