Just for Laughs is currently airing new episodes on Sundays @ 7:30/6:30c on ABC. I don't know if it's "way better" than America's Funniest Home Videos, but it's much funnier and certainly more family-friendly than the raunchy hidden-camera "comedy" show on NBC known as Howie Do It. Just for Laughs rarely contains inappropriate content and it's always funny.

What Parents Need to Know
About Just for Laughs
Parents need to know that that this hidden-camera comedy features mostly harmless pranks, like squirting people with water and pretending to put a dog in a mailbox. Some jokes occasionally contain a mild sexual or scatological theme, such as one scenario in which a couple asks strangers to take their picture -- and each time, the printout shows a close-up of the woman's breasts. Another set-up involves pretend urinating on people, which returns hilarious reactions. But it's not as mean-spirited as some other hidden-camera or blooper shows, and most parents of tweens probably won't find much to object to.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about hidden-camera shows. Is it funny or mean to subject people to the type of pranks seen on this show? What does it feel like to be the one in the spotlight when others are laughing? How should a person handle being the subject of a joke? What's the difference between laughing at someone and laughing with them? Which do you see more of in the media? Families can also discuss how people react to surprising situations. What do people's different reactions to the same scenario tell you about them? What does it mean when everyone reacts the same way?
