America's Funniest Home Videos And 4 Other Shows You Didn't Know Were Still On

Often times, if a TV series is fortunate, it will gain extraordinary popularity in its earlier years. But eventually, the buzz fizzles, the show airs a couple of lower-rated seasons and is inevitably cancelled. Or it finishes out on its own terms and lives on through reruns, Netflix or in the hearts and minds of nostalgic pop culture lovers and TV fanatics. And then there are the shows that just keep going and going (and going.) Shows like The Simpsons and CSI, for example. But you know those are on the air, even if you aren't watching them regularly. Others seem to slip through the cracks, returning season after season but no longer receiving the kind of attention or relevance they once had in the public eye.

At one point in time, everyone was talking about Jerry Springer and that funny home video show with the guy from Full House. Water cooler chatter for shows like those may have died down a bit since the 90s, and yet, The Jerry Springer Show is still on the air, as is America's Funniest Home Videos. Those are just two of the listed series you might not realize are still on the air...

It's unfortunate Jerry Springer is still on the air, how that sicko ever got elected mayor is beyond me. As for AFV, it does OK Sundays at 7:00 but I would like to see Once Upon a Time repeats air at 7:00 and AFV move to a different night, it would get ABC regular Saturday night wins. The repeats might do worse than AFV but new episodes of Once do better when it has itself as a lead-in.

The first season or two of Jerry Springer was a very tame talk show, which broached real Oprah like subjects. Unfortunately for Jerry, he isn't Oprah so he came up with this schtick that has worked for him for the past 20 years.

Jerry bores me because it is basically the same show everyday. The show is so heavily "bleeped" that it is almost impossible to follow what anyone says. Also, let the people beat the crap out of each other. They cannot only because of legal constraint.

Another guy is Morey Povich. Just ghetto trash who do not know who their baby's daddy is.

COPS is timeless and it is always interesting to watch people get arrested and all the freaks that the cops encounter. That show has been on for 25 years and the format has not changed one bit and that is really amazing.

I do not understand why America's Funniest Home Videos is on since I can watch videos of goofballs anytime I want online. I think it is a early Sunday night show and probably draws in enough oldies, churchies and kiddies to make it worthwhile.

MTV has been crap since Reagan left office (literally). It's not Music Television, it is "beautful people doing stupid reality crap". The only good thing that has come out of MTV for the past quarter century is Beavis and Butthead (and yes, Daria to an extent). FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!

Oldies and churchies? I assume you're referring to elderly people and church-going people. Haven't heard those terms in that usage before.
Interesting.

Anyway, as it happens, I love "America's Funniest Home Videos"!!! That's one of the best shows still on TV! I don't really care about the other shows in this article though. But AFHV was great with Bob Saget as the host. (And of course, he did great as Danny Tanner on "Full House" at the same time too!)
I'm glad the show is still on- and though I didn't like John Fugelsang and Daisy Fuentes as much (they were okay though)- Tom Bergeron makes a great host! Even with the proliferation of similar videos on Youtube and the Internet at large, I enjoy watching this show with the funny commentary and games they play with the videos. Plus, the show offers the benefit of compiling funny videos that may not be all available on the Internet and that is convenience for fans.
In any case, it's a funny show and I enjoy it and I'm glad it's still on the air.

I still watch AFV and it's better with Bergeron than Saget (But Ernest Earle "Ghoulardi" Anderson was a great announcer, so is Jess Harnell).

"COPS" I didn't realize is still on, but then again it's on saturday so no one watches TV then.

Same as "Jerry Springer", but I hate Trash Talk shows. My brother tells me to watch "Maury" it's that "try it, you'll like it" motif...but next to Reality Shows, Trash Talk Shows are a genre that I would like to see disappear!

These shows still on because they're still making $ and are cheap

[Neutronman67]

They need to bring Bob Saget back on America's Funniest Home Videos his corny and unfunny jokes made the show funny itself he actually thought he was funny, they even made a parody joke of him on comedy central's cartoon South Park lol

I watch TV on Saturdays- lol. That's actually the one day where I have the most time to watch TV as it seems rare that I watch much anymore during the week. Work and being involved with things at church keep me pretty busy...

It depends on your style of humor. For the jokes that Bob Saget told on "America's Funniest Home Videos", I thought he was hilarious! Of course, I like corny jokes in any case.
(For the jokes he tells at comedy clubs, well... I heard a snippet of some in an interview for his roast one time- and wow, yeah those are quite dirty. I don't care for those.)

I like when Bob saget talks with profanity in his comedy show's he had me laughing on the floor hard check out his videos on youtube the man is more funny when he swears, Bob saget does not want people to think of him as Nice Guy aka Danny Tanner his personality is similar to Dustin Diamond who played screech from SBTB they both dont want people to remember them for their past tv dorky characters so they think people will think they are bad guys if they talk dirty lol

[gilligan fanatic]

I never really liked AFHV, it is to "rehearsed" for me. Most of the ones I have seen just seem like they were trying to get on TV

[Neutronman67]

I find it creepy when people film themselves getting hurt then shipping their footage to AFHV to be humiliated on national television.

I'm not sure about Dustin Diamond, but I do know Bob Saget was talking dirty long before doing "Full House"- I'm pretty sure this was one of the reasons he was not the first chosen for the role of Danny Tanner, since his stand-up comic persona is quite different from Danny Tanner. Nonetheless, he made it work and I'm glad because I couldn't picture anyone else in that role.

[Neutronman67]

Yeah Bob Saget was good at pretending to be a square nice dude on Full House, i bet he was thinking to himself this show is full of junk but atleast it paid the bills for him lol
