Tonight was the first time I've ever caught an episode of this show and all I can say is "thank goodness"! Tonight will also be the last time I watch this show.

David Hasselhoff?? Judging talent??? In my opinion he should stick to eating hamburgers on the floor and leave the talent judging to qualified people.

What did Sharon Osbourne do to qualify as a talent judge? I don't even know who the other dude is except that he reminds me of a bad clone of Simon on AI.

Thank goodness I live in America and I can exercise my right to never let this program grace my living room again.

Tonight was my first time watching the show. To be honest I didn't have high expectations for it. I'm not a big fan of the Hoff or Sharon, and I don't know who the other guy is either. But whatever you may or may not think about the judges one must admit that some of the performances were very entertaining and talanted. Isn't that what the show is about, not the judges? I mean the judges can be entertaining as well, but shouldn't you be more interested in the contestants? This is one show that my daughter and I were both were very entertained with and we both enjoyed it. It's hard for me to find a show my 2 year old and I both like. So yes I believe there is talant on the show. And though I think Sharon can be too kindhearted I am impressed with how she cares for the contestants.

I agree with you in that it is a show that I can sit down and watch with all three of my children. They seem to really enjoy it. They could care less if the people are talented or not. Saves me the trip and cost of paying to get into a local talent show I guess. That's about the equivelant of the talent. I really thought the talent would step up this year. I was shocked at some of the acts given air time on national television.
