It is the Australian counterpart to ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]'', which was also created by [[Vin Di Bona]]. The show was broadcast from March 1990 until February 2014. Although Nine did not officially cancel the show, in 2015 they stated that they had no plans to produce new episodes.<ref>{{cite web|first=David|last=Knox|title=TV's unanswered questions: shows in limbo|url=https://tvtonight.com.au/2015/02/tvs-unanswered-questions-shows-in-limbo.html|publisher=tvtonight.com.au|date=3 February 2015|access-date=11 August 2021}}</ref> ==Synopsis == The show is similar in content to ''[[You've Been Framed!]]'' and ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]'', which was also created by [[Vin Di Bona]] (which was based on [[Tokyo Broadcasting System]]'s ''[[Fun TV with Kato-chan and Ken-chan]]''). The videos frequently feature [[slapstick]] and [[Low culture|lowbrow]] humour such as people tripping over or animals behaving in amusing ways. Most videos are overdubbed with a voice-over and sound effects. In a deal with various foreign producers of similar shows, some imported clips are used, in exchange for home-grown videos from Australia. Each new Australian video shown on the programme received $500. At the end of each episode the audience watching at home can choose their favourite video of the night from a selection of 4, via telephone and SMS voting, with the winning clip receiving $10,000. At the end of each year, winning clips compete in a semi-final and grand final, where in the most recent seasons third place received a [[home cinema|home theatre]] package, second place received a prize package worth around $100,000 (typically with two or three cars), while the winner received $250,000 in cash (although in 2012 the winner received $150,000). In 2005, the show received a major revamp with a new set, logo and theme music, leaving behind the original internationally recognised look of ''America's Funniest Home Videos'' for a "futuristic" design with a brighter and more open set. Since then, the set has received both minor and major alterations, but still retains a bright and open appearance. For most of the show's life, it has been a half-hour program broadcast on Tuesday at {{nowrap|7.30&nbsp;pm}}. In mid 2000 the show moved to 6.30&nbsp;pm Saturday, and in 2004, was extended to one hour. In 2013, the show switched from its regular seasonal broadcast to a "summer season" of repeats to allow for broadcasting of ''[[The Voice (Australian TV series)|The Voice Australia]]''. In 2014, the show returned to its original half-hour format and aired on Saturday at 7.00&nbsp;pm. === Theme music === From 1991 to 2004 the theme song was a cover version of "The Funny Things You Do" from the show's American counterpart with the word "America" replaced by "Australia" and the line "You're the red, white and blue" changed to "You're the dinky-di true blue". It was slightly rearranged in 1994 & 1998 (with vocals from then-host [[Jo Beth Taylor]], which remained after her 1997 departure). In line with the new season in 2000, the show received a refresh in updated video graphics, set recolouring and a brand new theme song with vocals provided by Australian session singer and songwriter, [https://www.martycobcroft.bandcamp.com Marty Cobcroft], in a rock-based arrangement. Sydney musician, Andy Payne, provided additional backing vocals. From 2005 onwards, original compositions were used as the theme music. The theme song served as the show's intro and played before and after each commercial break. Until 2001 the theme song can be heard during the closing credits. ==Presenters== === Hosts === {| class="wikitable" !Presenter !Duration |- |[[Graham Kennedy]] |29 March 1990&ndash;29 November 1990 |- |[[Jacki McDonald|Jacki MacDonald]] |1991 |- |Lisa Patrick |1992 |- |[[Jo Beth Taylor]] |13 February 1993&ndash;October 1997 |- |[[Catriona Rowntree]] |October 1997&ndash;November 1997 |- |Kim Kilbey |1998&ndash;2002 |- |[[Toni Pearen]] |2003&ndash;2007 |- |[[Shelley Craft]] |2008&ndash;2014 |} === Co-hosts === {| class="wikitable" !Presenter !Duration |- |Cori Hopper |January 2004&ndash;December 2004 |} ==Closing songs== {| class="wikitable sortable" |- !

It was a highly explicit special, depicting videos of sexual situations and other sexually explicit content, and was hosted by Australian radio personality [[Doug Mulray]]. It was planned to be a 60-minute broadcast, but due to complaints from both viewers and then-owner on the Nine Network [[Kerry Packer]], was taken off the air part-way through the first and only episode, making it the only Australian television series to have done so. A copy of the full episode was later located at the Nine Network in 2008, after which the episode was edited to comply with new television standards and re-broadcast with commentary from [[Bert Newton]] at 8:30 PM on 28 August 2008, one week short of sixteen years after the original special, and at the same airing time. ==See also== {{Portal|Television|Australia}} * [[List of longest-running Australian television series]] * [[List of Australian television series]] * [[List of Nine Network programs]] ==Notes== {{Reflist|group=nb}} ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== * {{IMDb title|id=0267151}} [[Category:Australian comedy television series]] [[Category:Australian television series based on American television series]] [[Category:Australian television series based on Japanese television series]] [[Category:Nine Network original programming]] [[Category:1990 Australian television series debuts]] [[Category:2014 Australian television series endings]] [[Category:2000s Australian television series]] [[Category:English-language television shows]] [[Category:Television shows set in Brisbane]] [[Category:Television shows set in Sydney]] [[Category:Television shows set in Melbourne]] [[Category:Video clip television series]]'
