I renamed it. Though your original title might attract more viewers! So is the show worth watching? I have it recorded.

lol i didnt expect to see more than 5 min of it but it held me for two hours i like the chemistry between the 3 judges (i wonder if they stay the same) and i thought regis is a good low key host for what he has to do - and some of the talent is just amazing - others not so much but its a great throw back to the old talent shows

I watched the whole thing. I didn't think I would, but I did and I'll watch it again. Legal, that little 8 year old comic had me laughing so hard while at the same time I kept trying to tell myself, "this is sooooo wrong!" It looks like there were some good performers that they didn't have time to show just so they could show us some of the ones who didn't make it.

like the talent, but come on the judges what a joke??and they need , america needs to see the whole act then vote on staying are going, jusges arnet qualified, get real,lol and whats this hiting the others buzzer to get 3 strikes and then changes it to re suit themselves,,, its not the gong show, lets the acts do the whole act then decide.. hell just make it a start search and drop the judges, why make us see them 10 minutes out of the hour show, do the acts then decide, maybe have a veiwers 900 number to call in if you want a act to come back get another chance when the judges make a royal blunder like they kept soing over and over

I gave up after the first hour. The lame judges and their "shtick" on these type shows turn me off. Starting in the second hour, there was better programming on PBS. I doubt I'll watch again.

It wasn't too bad. I'm sure I'll check it out some more. I'm a bit perplexed that they advertised the show with an "anything goes" motif, yet some of the acts were buzzed out just seconds in, and I'm sure I heard a judge say something like "not right for this competition." If anything goes, then just what is right/not right for the competition? Are they making it up as they go along, not really knowing what they're looking for until they've seen it? Have to admit the "anything goes" format makes me fear Gong Show inspired acts though. Secret desire.....I'd love to see someone from the marching arts (drum corps, marching band) do an act. There's a certain level of awe to see an 8 man snare line doing some awesome stick work. Or some color guard members tossing/spinning flags and rifles around would be sure to impress the judges (based on what I saw them be impressed with tonight).

I really enjoyed this show and didn't think I would. I loved the judges. The best comment of the night for me though was when my 16 year old ds walked into the room and got got up watching it and then saw David Hasselhoff and said 'David Hasselhoff? What is he doing on the show?' LOL That quartet/quintent of boy singers..wow! And the last jungler, and the 2 young girls were my favorite.

I was cracking up! That cow had me rolling. Loved the dog act, and the rappin' granny was hysterical.

I enjoyed this show too (of course, I used to watch the Lawrence Welk Show every week). I liked the bird, harp player (perhaps if she had just played and not sung?)Rapping Granny and the hand stand guy. Of course, Syd the Kid and the 14 year old singer were great. I wish Piers wouldn't push his button so soon - give them a few more seconds of air time. I will watch this show again. I think a lot of the acts would go over well in Vegas even if they don't seem to be worthy of winning.

I liked it. Piers is actually pretty funny as a judge. I was afraid he was going to try to out-Simon Simon. Would be nice if Brandy would stop stealing Paula's "I'm a fan" line, though. And Hasselhoff...he certainly loved the schticky acts. I really liked the 14-year-old singer and the hand-stander. And I loved how the bird lady called them out when Piers(?) told her that animal acts weren't right for the competition and she pointed out that they asked for them. Not that her act was all that great from a performance standpoint, but still. The guy with the dogs was cool, though. I'll watch again.

I loved the show but what is up with it being on till 11pm? Don't they know I need my beauty sleep? Loved the 14 yr ols singer, but thought Syd the kid was just cute, not so funny (maybe when she gets older). I loved the 4 asian(?) guys singing alcapella(sp) and the last juggler.

No one has mentioned the Godzilla ventriliquist or the snapping guy? Shame. I liked them. Hasselhoff is right about the jugglers, it's boring and takes something really special to make it entertaining. Were any ladies loving the stripper? The little comedian was funny, but the jokes she was telling threw me. I had to watch her act twice to enjoy it.

Oh yeah. Forgot about the Godzilla guy. I liked him, but agree with David Hasselhoff (now, there's a phrase I never thought I would type...) that I want to see how he follows it up. His act was pretty darned impressive, though. The kid comic...I dunno. Overly precocious kids have a tendency to bug me. And I am not convinced that she writes her own material, considering much of her act was based on acts of older comics (what I mean is, I had heard just about all of the jokes before with words changed here and there), and she is pretty young to have seen them on her own. Mom or dad had to have had a hand in much of it. But for 8, she was pretty self assured - not too easy for a kid.

I liked the show and the judges. But I was disappointed with Regis. I thought he was a great choice for the host, but he seemed disconnected, kind of "blah".

That is funny. I liked the "tamed" version of Regis last night. Sometimes his strong opinions and attitude can run right over others.

OMG, the godzilla guy was great! I am like the judges, I want to see him come back to see what he does to top it!

Didn't they call this "The Gong Show" a few decades ago? I thought there for a minute that every act was going to go through.

My thoughts exactly. I said as much on the drum corps board I'm on. Someone there responded with, "The Gong Show hits American Idol."

That's what makes the (reality) world go 'round Rosie, differences in taste and opinion. I wouldn't have half as much fun watching these shows if there was no TVCH to find out what other people think. Anyway America's Got Talent promises to be great summer entertainment.

I thought this was suppose to be something new. It's just the Gong show gone bad. I quit watching when they actually let that old guy who strips go through to the next round.

David Hasselhoff is going to be the Paula of this show. When that 14-year old girl was singing Whitney, I thought he was going to faint. She was damn amazing, BTW. I do not see this show lasting very long.

Whoa! Is there another thread for this show? I am loving this show! Last night there was an 11 yr old girl who sang so beautifully that I had chills.
