The America's Funniest Home Videos logo used from the first season in 1990 to the first 15 episodes out of 30 of season 8.
On November 26, 1989, America's Funniest Home Videos' first episode aired on ABC. Since then, the show is still running with 30 seasons. However, to this day many episodes aren't publicly available.
Reasons That Episodes Could Be Lost
- Lack Of Constant Reruns: AFV Seasons 11-28 (11-20 are edited to be in widescreen) are the only seasons that are currently airing in syndication. Seasons 1-5 used to air in syndication from 2003-2011 and Seasons 6-8 from 2004-2007. PeachtreeTV aired the whole Saget era (Seasons 1-8) in 2007. Seasons 9-10 aired only on WGN America but for a limited time. The 1999-2001 specials aired on KDOC in the late 2000s.
- Not Being Uploaded On Social Media Sites: A lot of episodes are on YouTube, but many are lost. The first 6 seasons and some of season 9 and the whole of season 11 were on AFV Classic's channel, but ABC asked him to privatize them, only the season 11 episodes remain up. Users such as Ray Diomix, afv fan99, and Jonathan Franco-Martin have uploaded all the episodes they could get their hands on.
Way Episodes Could Be Found
- Original broadcast VHS recordings found
- Syndication repeat VHS/DVD airings
- Uploaded to YouTube by ABC themselves
- Added to Disney + (This is apparently going to happen, but for only seasons 11-19 and 23)
