Opening Titles
In the 1989 pilot/special, a blue sky with clouds was used while yellow stars zoomed in, followed by the logo zooming in and exiting to the upper right. To show the upcoming clips, an animated purple TV set was used On January 14, 1990, a mixed red white and blue-like background with a giant camera lens was used while animated stars and stripes zoomed out of the lens. Then, the logo zooms forward and exits forward on an angle. At that time, a silver screen was used to show the upcoming clips. A stars and stripes effect is used to transition from each upcoming set of videos. In 1997, a computer animated segment showed the words, “Home Videos Sunday” while on a black background and a multicolored circle. Then, a CGI family emerges from a red couch while watching the TV. Then, the logo is plastered on the said multicolored circle. The upcoming videos are now shown on an animated widescreen silver TV set. The stars and stripes effects to transition between upcoming clips are replaced by red, white, and blue streamers and white confetti. On January 5, 1998, a multi-colored background with past AFV clips and the words “America’s Funniest Home Videos” or “AFV” flying around are shown. Then, the logo typewriters itself out, followed by the letters AFV coming forward and zooming off in different directions. During that period, the upcoming clips were shown on said background with an animated widescreen with two wavy borders. For $100,000 shows, falling CGI dollar bills were used in the background. On September 28, 2003, the same intro was used, except to show the upcoming clips, a small blue glowing TV set was used. On September 26, 2004, a brighter colored background was used as the “AFV” letters dropped down as one. The same small blue glowing TV set was used for upcoming clips.
