Polygraphs

As far as I've been able to find out, the science and reliability of polygraph are dubious at best. Eg polygraph results are not accepted as evidence in most courts of law.

Are these tests as widely used as many TV shows imply?If so,why,and why would anyone agree to take one? I would not.
