When did "America's Funniest Home Videos" first premiere?

There are few things as comforting in life as when Sunday evening would hit and you’d hear the theme song for "America’s Funniest Home Videos" followed by Bob Saget’s hilarious voiceovers. Let’s revisit those days with a taste of the theme song’s original lyrics:

We've got laughs from coast to coast
To make you smile
A real life look at each of you
To capture all that style
You're the red, white and blue
The funny things you do
America, America this is you

There’s an argument, of course, that the beginning of AFV also marked the beginning of reality TV, but if reality TV had stuck to just watching people fall over and pets doing silly things, I think we’d all be better off as a society.

Over the years AFV has now put together 35 seasons and 790 episodes of home videos for us to laugh at. But when did this show get its start?
