Yeah, Gintama really takes some time. I remember dropping it after the first episode, too. I only continued because a friend told me to, and I don't regret it.
But it's been quite some time since then, and I don't really remember when it started getting good. All I remember is that the first really dark arc was around episode 60, and by then I already liked Gintama. Maybe someone else who can tell you how much patience you'll need in order to get to the good stuff.
