Just about anyone can watch it, and will probably laugh at bad acts.
I started watching it on the last season with my mom. Some people are just ignorant at how they will inevitably fail. One of the biggest fails was a choir teacher who sang "Over the Rainbow" as if he were completely tone deaf, but there is no worries on this program, and some of the acts are wonderful. The judges can end the tryout at anytime by giving the person the X's which is always funny. Great show.

Before you catch “America’s Got Talent” why don’t you tune early and check their sweet new game show “Minute to Win It”? An extra hour of fun? Ummm…count me in! It’s so funny and cool and Guy Fieri is awesome. GO NBC!

Need to rethink this - NOT AS INNOCENT AS IT SEEMS!
I think the review above needs to be revise. I've had to turn this show off on more than one occasion, because it was too racy and/or trashy for my family. Some of the acts I wouldn't want my husband seeing, much less my 13 year old daughter. They have strippers other than the funny one mentioned above, and most of the other female competitors are very scantily dressed. They bill this as family entertainment, but if that's what family entertainment has come to - we'll do without thank-you-very-much.

It is not as good as the commercials make it look
Some of the people's acts are strange. It shows the gore and the people can stay on stage until 2 people have pushed their button, for the person to sit down. Your kids are at risk of seeing things that are extremely gory and inappropriate. You should watch it then figure out if you want your kids to watch it.

YOU'VE NEVER SEEN TALENT LIKE THIS!!!
To be honest, I think this show is way better than American Idol! In American Idol, the only talent on that show is singing. But in America's Got Talent, you don't know what to expect! There's many types of talents allowed on this show, show as singing, dancing, instrument playing, illusions, stand-up comedy, stunt performing, animals performing, and more! Parents, you and your kids will love this show! You will probably find the host of the show, Nick Cannon, funny!

this show is NOT for children under 13
the 1st 2 seasons were TV-14 and common senses reccomendation is EXTREME BAD LANGUAGE and i saw on an episode on the 3rd season 08-09 violence and on season 1 06-07 some drugs and bad role models There are, however, remarkable performances by some contestants who have God-given talents. using negative messages now remember the hot pink girls it showed some drugs and magic and skateboarding like diary of a wimpy kid xtreme sk8ers and put some episodes on MYSPACE so that it for today

This show is NOT for kids under 13
Common Sense's review of "Got Talent" is outdated; it was first posted when Regis hosted the show in 2006. Since then, the show has gotten raunchier. Every episode of "Got Talent" this season has been rated TV-14 due to risque performances. There are, however, remarkable performances by some contestants who have God-given talents.

Mostly entertaining but some questionable talent/characters
My husband insisted this was a family show and then the weird angel-winged guy and the racy female stripper had him fast forwarding the tivo. We really enjoyed some of the musical talent. In these early episodes it seems anything goes.

Horrible junk TV

kinda stupid, but not the worst thing on tv
its entertaining in a weird sort of way, not the worst thing on tv. some of the acts are questionable, especially at first, but when they get down to a few acts, they have normally weeded out the very odd or questionable ones.

Interesting Variety of Things, Some Material of Questionable Value
This show is kind of fun to watch. There are things on it not so good for kids: drag queens, burlesque, temper tantrums by judges (saying “I quit”, storming off the set, continuing to make a scene in front of camera in dressing room, relenting and coming back. Pathetic). There are other things on it that are OK, like the magicians, ventriloquists, and bluegrass musicians.

I love this show. Great to watch with the kiddies.
I make an effort to turn off the commercials but I do allow the kids to watch this show. It really is great for the whole family. My kids sing and dance while watching this show. I'm glad it's starting back up. I saw a promo for this show the other day and there will be the cutest 4 year old singing. I'm sure my little one will want to be her. Love it.
