America’s Funniest Home Videos began in 1989 with Bob Saget as host. He continued until 1997 and John Fugelsang & Daisy Fuentes took over briefly. Bergeron started in 2001, is AFV’s longest-serving host and has led more than 200 installments.
AFV has lost some ratings steam this season, averaging a 1.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.64 million total viewers. It’s ABC’s ninth highest-rated non-scripted show out of 13. Still, one would guess that it’s the network’s cheapest show to produce.
ABC will announce their 2012-13 season schedule next week so we’ll know if the network plans to shift AFV to another night (as they did with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition) or keep it on Sundays.
What do you think? Are you an AFV fan? Does ABC still need to produce new episodes or could they just re-run old ones?
