America's Funniest Home Videos
Is it just me? When I see a video of some person falling down a flight of stairs, slipping on the ice, getting whacked in the face by a door they weren't expecting to be opened etc I just fail to see the humor in it. In many cases with just a slight turn of the head there could have been a concussion or other serious injury. Perhaps it's due to my advancing years, but I don't get it. Don't get me wrong. Many of the videos are really funny, but those - no.

This feels familiar…

They aren’t ALL funny to me, either. Some are pretty hilarious, though.

The show was great when Bob Saget was hosting those first few years, as well as the years hosted by John Fugelsang and Daisy Fuentes (God, I loved her laugh!).

I guess it's rough keeping a show going 35 seasons, but it's time for then to call a wrap. I quit watching more than 5 years ago.

On a side note, I haven't watched Saturday Night Live since the early 1980's.

Same here, you couldn't pay me to watch it. I doubt I'll watch the movie either:

Fed, sorry for the thread drift.

I had no idea it was still a show.

I was amazed at Bob Sagat's TV personality vs his stand up personality.

Feeding babys nasty food isn't funny either.

I wrote them an e-mail about people getting hurt vids, five or six years ago.
