Remember when this show featured more than just people getting seriously injured?  It used to be funny, family-oriented, and even cute.

I remember there used to be this guy who would send in videos periodically...he would make music videos to songs played backwards, then he would play the tape backwards so it looked like he was doing everything in reverse *except* for singing the music, which would be playing correctly.  Does that make sense?  I used to think that was so neat.

This was a 90s show

It didn't start off in the 80's?  Oops, sorry folks... feel free to close/delete/move this thread.

^ It debuted in November of 1989, so I thought it would be better suited for the 90s board and would get a better response

I really liked Bob Saget as the host for this show. Even though he was cheesy, his silly remarks went along well with the video clips.

Do you remember America's Funniest People..hosted by Dave Coulier?  The thing that annoyed me was that jackalope character...ugh, so annoying. Jack Ching Bada-Bing used to always say, "Fast as fast can be, you'll never catch me!"  ::)

I also liked the Bob Saget era too Erin.  That was when the theme song had words too.  8)

Yeah I remember I used to watch this back in the '90s, I enjoyed it.

LOL I totally forgot about that show and that whole jackalope thing!!  that was very annoying, as was Dave Coulier for the most part LOL  Though I do have a soft spot for him since he was on a show on Nickelodeon that I used to LOVE called Out of Control.  Oooh, I just may have to start a thread for that in the 80's section!

I totally remember that show!! :D

The funniest bit about the original AFV was the intro .. there would always be some skit going on in that upper booth to introduce Bob walking out on a TV screen.  Then Bob would make some remark about it LOL

One episode, the singer and band who performed the theme song were there

America, America, this is you.

The ironic thing is that Bob Saget's probably the filthiest comedian to have ever hosted the show.  I still cringe when I see an old rerun of AFV, and I still laugh my ass off when ever I replay Saget's version of The Aristocrats.  Go figure.

Ya...he's a long way from being Danny Tanner, eh? ;D

I personally think Tom Bergeron is the best host of this show. He is funny without being annoying and he does a really good job setting up the clips and introducing them and everything. I personally did not like Bob Saget because I really found him annoying and he was kind of full of himself too or that's how he came across anyways. John Fugelslang and Daisy Fuentes were alright as hosts too, they always had this weird sexual tension between the two of them.

as much as I loved Saget, I would have to agree, but mostly because I think Bergeron is a great host on anything he does.  I loved him on 'Hollywood Squares' and on 'Dancing With the Stars'

Bob Saget is the man. He seemed cheesy cause he was and he knew it. If you see his stand up, the things he says about the show are hilarious. And, yes aside from his stand-up, The Aristocrats joke severely ruined a part of my childhood. Which is pretty funny. I hated that guy who was hosting not too long ago...with the biggest cheesiest smile and parted volumized hair. He just ruined it for me. Whoever he is...
