** Since the switch to HD is mandatory now, ABC [[DigitalDestruction screwed up the show's display]] on reruns. For starters, they replaced the show's opening titles with new custom-made versions, zooming out for the closing, the hosting segments are now cropped for 16:9 picture format, ''but'' the actual home videos are squished to fit in the same format. It's ''very'' disorienting. Even worse, Creator/DisneyPlus and Creator/{{Hulu}} use the ''exact same'' versions.

** For the Bob Saget episodes: The contest plugs were replaced with modified ones, however starting in 2006, the contest plugs were replaced with the one from The Greatest Videos of All Time (Season 11 Episode 12). Saget speaking with the winners were usually cut out. So, we saw Bob Saget announce the winner, and then it abruptly cut to Bob Saget doing his sign-off gag.

* CreatorBacklash:
** It's possible the Fuentes/Fugelsang era is seen as an embarrassment by ABC, as those episodes aren't shown on television anymore. Also, during the 20th-Anniversary special (where Bob Saget returned), neither Fuentes nor Fugelsang were invited to attend, and neither were acknowledged at any point during the special. Bergeron ''did'' briefly mention them during the "300th Show" special, and some clips of their host segments were shown, but that was it.
** Until 2014, episodes from this era were sometimes shown on WGN, but very rarely and usually only before baseball games.

* NoBudget: Even with all the prize money the show gives away each week, AFV shockingly doesn't require a lot of money to make, due to the bulk of the show being provided for by the fanbase. All they really need is the studio and the host and they're golden. It's this reason AFV has so much staying power, even after sites like ''WebSite/YouTube'' have cut into a large chunk of their ratings. (About 8.40 views just before [=YouTube=] went online VS the 4.64 of it's 49th season.)
