ABC'S 'AMERICA'S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS' KICKS OFF SEASON 28 IN A NEW TIME PERIOD ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8, AT 8:00 P.M. EDT, WITH A DINOSAUR MONTAGE, DORKY DADS AND DOGS SAYING 'I LOVE YOU'

"Episode 2801" - "AFV," the longest-running primetime entertainment show in ABC history, returns for season 28 with the same mission - to provide viewers with hysterical moments that fly by at a dizzying pace. This week's video highlights include a music montage starring dinosaurs of all kinds and the ferocious fun they create; mishaps in the Great Outdoors, including a tiny fisherman celebrating his catch until he mishears his dad saying, "Throw it off," instead of, "Show it off." A sunbathing beauty gets pranked by a passing jet skier; dogs saying "I love you"; and a Dorky Dad segment includes a dad puppeteer who is foiled by the family dog stealing his show. Hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro, the season 28 premiere of "America's Funniest Home Videos," airs SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8 (8:00-9:00 p.m. EDT), on The ABC Television Network.
