What do you think? Are you still watching the America’s Funniest Home Videos TV show? Should it be cancelled or renewed for another season on ABC?
I look forward to seeing this program, so much so that I tape it so that if there is a conflict I can watch it at another time! Please keep it going! We all need to laugh! JF
David I agree with you. It was a great show.
I watched America’s Funniest Home videos all the time when it was on. I really wish you would bring it back on please. It was one of the best shows that was on. We loved it.
Please re-instate America’s Funniest Home Videos in its 7 PM Sunday time slot. The show is a delightful way to end a weekend. My family has missed the show very much since it inexplicitly and suddenly disappeared from the Sunday night lineup toward the end of April, 2019. Thank you for your consideration to this request. I know many others who similarly love the show and long for its return.
This is one of the few family channels left and entertainment! Please, yes, keep it going on!
As one of the very few shows left suitable for the entire family it would be devastating for it to be pulled from ABC’s lineup! There are sadly way too few shows left for the whole family to watch together. Far too many shows full of violence, smut, and just plain “CRAP” on tv these days. ABC is one of the few stations i can stand to watch anymore. Don’t drive me and all the others away trying to find something to watch that isn’t full of sex, violence and crap!
PLEASE put AFHV back into the 7 p.m. time slot. My kids and I watched together for years but the little ones have to go to bed by 8 and we don’t have a way to record the show. It’s always been shown at 7 and I wish you’d put it back there. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.
I think that AFV should be renewed for another season or for half a season this year-maybe come back to TV in January2018!!
I look forward to this show every week it makes me laugh out loud and will be devastated if it were to end. Please keep it on Alfonso Ribeiro is wonderful.
I have found this show to be really entertaining. I like seeing us ( humans) in all kinds of comical, unrehearsed life situations. You’re a hypocrite if you deny it . It’s unavoidable to keep from laughing. Laughter IS the best medicine. But that was when Tom hosted it. Neither Bob Saget, nor now host Alfonso Ribeiro have the ” umph” factor. Quite frankly not too many people have it. And you either do or you don’t . It has to come out of you like breathing . And even when the videos are hilarious , the voiceovers in them… Read more »
Quite frankly you either have to be brain dead or not have cable to watch this show. I see no entertainment value in it. It teaches us we should be laughing (albeit canned) at peoples miss fortune and that people with video cameras must be 1) members of stupid families and 2) have nothing better to do than record everything in the off chance that something “funny” will occur. Clearly, probability states (that’s math you know) that these event would not be captured unless purposely setup.
What trash!
CANCEL AFV!!! THEY ARE USING AMERICAN FAMILIES FOR PROFIT BY ENTICING THEM WITH A SLIM TO NONE CHANCE OF ANY CASH OR FUTURE RIGHTS OF PAYMENTS RECEIVED BY AFV BY THEM SELLING YOUR VIDEOS AFTER YOU UNKNOWINGLY GAVE UP ALL RIGHTS TO THEM. WHO WOULD DO THAT FOR A CHEAP T-SIRT?
Why cancel this?
They get money for there video.
Seriously?

Very refreshing but sometimes wonder about the stories. True or false.
