Too many talent contests on TV

Tom Shales:

From the look and sound of the opening installments, "America's Got Talent" is that one show too many that has killed many a television trend. It has no charm, it's edited into anarchy, and its so-called judges ([Piers Morgan,] the vacuous Brandy and frighteningly primitive David Hasselhoff) could hardly be less articulate.

Haven't seen it; don't intend to. Ditto "The One." And after that Ford commercial that's on about every 10 minutes, no more "American Idol," either. Or any of those stupid dancing shows.
Which brings us to "Rock Star," week 3. Too many good performances to confidently predict who gets the encore, but we'd pick Patrice or Storm, maybe Lukas. Either Jenny (inappropriate song choice) or Dana should be toast. Will Dave Navarro and Brooke Burke hook up? Maybe they already have?
