[edit] who wrote the critisism section?
I liked the article up until I got to that part. It's clearly opinionated and don't seem relevent to being in a encyclopedia. I don't like Bob Sagat either but alot of those comments should go elsewhere, probably in a imdb messageboard or review.--User:Iamstillhiro1112 05:26, 14 September 2006 (CST)
[edit] just a thought
have you noticed that when they get down to the 3 finalists, the cutest video wins and not the funniest one? i think the votes are rigged.--Jon Revelle 08:04, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
If the top three videos contain one video with a baby or toddler in it, it is almost guaranteed the first prize. Although some videos happen to be cute AND funny (the "play golf like your daddy" video is a good example), very often it seems that more deserving videos are shot down in lieu of the baby ones.

yes, i have noticed that, and its really annoying. Supmyman7 17:44, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
I really want to know who picks the finalists beacause they're never any good. A 100,000$ winner was a guy dancing outside his front door. WTH? What are they smoking? 24.76.92.224
Just recently, a lady and her five infant children won because of giggling and other prompts. WTH?! That's not funny. That particular show had quite a few deserving videos, but small babies being prompted to laugh simultaneously is not funny for most of the show's viewers, it's rather irritating to watch.

Somebody should send them a really mean letter.--24.66.94.140 16:56, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kimmi Gibbler Reference
Can anybody validate the statement regarding the theme song and Kimmi Gibbler? I somehow doubt that a family show would make a reference to sex with a character on another family show. FireSpike 19:47, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Information
Some things I wonder about that aren't in the article... First, Ernie Anderson (a.k.a. ghoulardi and the announcer from Love Boat) announced for part of the Bob Saget years (up until his death I believe). That ought to be mentioned if anyone knows exactly when he was on the show. Also, does anyone know the name of the woman that sang the theme song? And lastly, around 2000, when Fuentes and Fugelsang left and before Bergeron came in, there were a handful of AFV special, some of which were hosted by D. L. Hugely.

[edit] Audience
Is it just me or does the audience seem like they were paid to be there. After any clip, funny or not, everyone (especially the ones on camera) they have HUGE smiles on and are laughing as hard as they can. 24.76.92.224 00:06, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
- This is the case on most television shows, as the staff encourages the audience to look like they are having a good time; it would look bad to the home viewers if no one looked like they enjoyed being there. Usually the audience is not paid, but simply allowed in for free. Look at shows like The Price is Right or Total Request Live, for example. Michael Baptista 09:23, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] More criticism.
One problem with the show was lack of "funny" home videos and forced humor, not just by staging but by awful and horrid voice overs. Quite often a good video was ruined by the voice over. Or the very fact that it was placed along side 30 other short videos that were almost the exact same thing. --Kinglink 09:25, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Avery Williams carried the Magic Tent with Hulk Hand [November 11th 2005]
is "Avery Williams carried the Magic Tent with Hulk Hand [November 11th 2005]" supposed to be on this page? THANKS AND GOD BLESS!!!! --Dans1120 15:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ABC Family airs the Saget Version
Only ABC Family airs the 1994-1997 episodes, not the 1989-1993 episodes.
[edit] AFHV Reruning on Comedy Central?
All right let's break this down:
- Fuentes/Fugelsang and Bergeron versions are only reruning on WGN Superstation.
- ABC Family only airs the Bob Saget episodes from 1994-97. Rumors say that the network may air the 1989-93 episodes.
Many people think that Comedy Central is going to air AFHV episodes. But the chances of seing AFHV on Comedy Central are 0.
[edit] Assignment America
Does anyone have any information on the "Assignment America" segments from the Bob Saget era?
