I was able to get a night off and as luck would have it, after forgetting/missing the first America’s Got Talent featuring Howard Stern, I was able to watch the following (Tuesday) night’s show.
I was pretty excited and had been patiently waiting to see the show after listening to Howard Stern on Sirius for the past several months describing the upcoming season of America’s Got Talent. I was looking forward to a show better than it had been in the past.
What a letdown! I mean MAJOR letdown!
I should have kept count as to how many actual acts the viewers in TV land were actually able to see. Most of the time they (the show, and the staff thereof) shoved annoying canned music over confusing snippets and clips from various performers in some sad attempt at showing the best-of…. something. I don’t even know what it was the best of!
The writers had Nicholas “Nick” Cannon way over the top in his cute shenanigans with failed acts, and the trash that should have been cut from the show were given more air time! I recall two occasions where Nicholas drug people back onto the stage to act foolish with him. It literally had me physically cringing and grabbing my chin in response.
The view gets no feel of chemistry between the judges. Perhaps there was none at this early point in taping. Perhaps the lack of chemistry was filled with loud annoying music and snippets. If I had the time I would almost like to go back and analyze all the judges’ body language. In general, the impression I was left with was that Howard and Sharon were tolerating the moment, and Howie was almost minimized if not somewhat withdrawn. Nicholas… just acted like a complete fool.
America’s Got Talent, I’m sure. This direction and production of this show does not.
I’d blast Howard Stern for being a part of it, but I’m sure there’s nothing he can do at this point.
I don’t get much time to view much of anything anymore, and I believe that America’s Got Talent will be removed from my DISH cue.
Garbage, people. The show is a mess and it is shoved in your face with gale force winds… only the wind contains fecal matter, spit and farm leavins.
