7 people bested this! |
America's Funniest Home Videos (often simply abbreviated to AFV, though it was previously AFHV) is an American reality television program on ABC in which viewers are able to send in humorous homemade videotapes. The most common videos usually feature slapstick physical comedy arising from accidents and mishaps. Other popular videos include humorous situations involving pets or children, while some are staged practical jokes and various forms of act.
The show debuted on November 26, 1989 as an hour-long special, produced by Vin Di Bona and Steve Paskay, and later as a weekly half-hour primetime series on January 14, 1990, with actor/comedian Bob Saget as host and Ernie Anderson as announcer.
The long-running theme was "The Funny Things You Do", performed by ABC's recording artist and ABC's in-house talent, Jill Colucci. At the time of AFHVs premiere, Colucci was in the midst of performing her vocals on the network's image campaigns, the last two years of the slogan Something's Happening (1988 and '89), and the first year only of America's Watching ABC (1990). Colucci herself occasionally made guest or cameo appearances when referred to by Saget, and even began singing the theme in person in one opening segment. "The Funny Things You Do" accompanied the opening and closing credits for eight seasons. [Wikipedia]
Unlike Tom Bergeron, Bob Saget is actually funny, which makes the original AFHV the best and only AFHV.
