Is 'America's Got Talent' a good show?

I just finished watching episode 1 season 5 on Hulu and I still can't figure it out. I think it could be better of course, there is alot of crap in between all the the performances and the judging part is a bit harsh but I guess thats all part of American TV. Also it seems as if they have awesome acts dispersed with total shit. People come out and make a fool of themselves after some amazing dancer or singer. What gives?

I can enjoy the train wreck that is the prelims, but after that I could care less. 
According to Brian Brushwood from Twit and Revision 3 Fame, they pretty much pick their successful acts well ahead of time. You have to submit a video application to the producers, then they invite who they want to appear on the show.

So I watched one episode. And some bitch in a whore outfit painted some random shit I couldn't make out and made it into the next round. Show's kind of an embarrassment. Its like a terrorist recruiting tool. And the part that really chaps my balls is 2 of the 3 judges are motherfucking brits.

I find the auditions very entertaining, but after that it kinda sucks.

Never watched it, however that could be due to the fact I watch the proper, original show Britain's got Talent.

I would rather watch the death of my unborn children .

lol only for the initial auditions.

I hate all shows like that. It's just a poor way for people optimistic about their "talent" to try and become famous. I myself is very into my band and would love to have the opportunity to get a record deal, but never through a deal like on those shows. Guh, also it's just bad TV in general.

I watch Britain's got Talent, although it wasn't the best standard this year.

The audience in that show can die in a fire.  Terrible show.

No

No.

I'd say it's good, from what I've seen. I don't waste my time watching "good" stuff though. 

Hell naw

I think the first couple of episodes are really funny but once there good it gets very boring.

Fuck. NO.

" I would rather watch the death of my unborn children . "

No.

Definitely not. 

i dont understand why everyone is so against this.... im watching this right now and i saw a little girl sing opera like a seasoned pro, and then i saw these guys do one of those illusion acts where guys where black against a black bakground so you cant see em and they pick of guys up and make it look like theyre floating. ive seen the japanese do it a lot before but these guys are excellent. anyways, theres a lot of bullshit in there but for the most part its pretty cool. that girl was fucking incredible and easily made this show worth watching

Are the people saying "no" saying "no" because they actually think the show is of poor quality, or are they saying it because they just hate shows like this? I for one enjoy watching it.

In between yes and no.

It's kinda weird this season, I still watch it every once inawhile though.

that little girl will be rich when this shows over with.  
 
the first seasons winnner, Bianca Ryan, lived around the corner from me. she has talent dude. made the show pretty cool when i first saw it because i knew who she was. 

I just like to watch people fail.
 
Edit: I HATE dance crews...

I've watched it a few times, it's not that bad.  Just like American Idol and the like, it's a talent show, so basically it's only as good as the competitors on any given episode.  I would like these types of shows more, though, if they screened  the early rejects and didn't intentionally cast snarky judges.  I don't know what's so appealing about watching people embarrassing themselves and getting their feelings hurt, but that's what these shows seem to be about half the time. 

Auditions are funny as shit. That's a yes for me!
