NBC’s America’s Got Talent drew in the highest total viewership Wednesday night with its final, sputtering round of Vegas Verdicts. Meanwhile, ratings for Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance stayed as strong and sexy as the Top 6 dancers’ ripply backs. “Ladies and gentlemen, your….” grid!

It’s not necessarily that America has it bad for dancing talent, there’s nothing else to watch on the major free networks. It just so happens these shows were better than the others that were showing during that time frame.
I for one am done with America’s Got Talent after this week’s elimination shows. This program is a joke.
I agree with gaydak. The talent this year on America’s Got Talent is below the level of previous years.
