As hard as it may be to believe, America’s Funniest Home Videos is going to be cancelled someday. It’s a cheap show to produce but the ratings have been dropping for years. Could this year be the end for the venerable program? We shall see.
A staple of Sunday nights for many years, America’s Funniest Home Videos and host Tom Bergeron present a wide variety of humorous viewer-submitted clips.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you still like the America’s Funniest Home Videos TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a 25th season?
This whole senario is disgustng. AFV, ABC and DISNEY are using American family. Videos for profit. In turn making us look stupid to the world in the way AFV is formated. In return those who have submitted their videos received nothing but a cheap t-shirt for payment. AFV will in turn sell those videos with not royalties being paid to the families.
CANCEL AFV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
