VIDEOS AFTER DARK
March 12, 2019  | By David Bianculli

ABC, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

This is not a recommendation: The original America’s Funniest Home Videos series, hosted by Bob Saget, premiered on ABC in 1989. That’s 30 years ago – the same year that The Simpsons presented its series-launching full-length Christmas special, and (let this sink in) a full 16 years before the launch of YouTube. Well, all these years later, AFHV is still on the air (let that sink in, too), and tonight, original host Saget returns with a new, more “mature” spinoff – though any use of the word mature, in this context, is laughable. Even when the clips themselves aren’t. Videos After Dark, shown at the kids-are-in-bed hour of 10 p.m. ET, promises a slightly less family-friendly compilation of home-video clips. Promises, or threatens, depending upon your tolerance for such things…
