Why America’s funniest home videos, you ask? That’s easy. Its videos are short enough that even those with pretty significant memory loss can watch a whole clip and remember it from beginning to end. Also, It’s lighthearted subject matter isn’t likely to get too scary for those who have trouble telling fact from fiction. Finally, it’s on almost every day, if you have cable.
Of course, I’m not suggesting that TV should be the main activity in anyone’s life, but this show is a nice way to either 1. keep someone occupied while you get a few things done around the house or 2. watch TV with someone with memory loss and not have to answer “who is that” or “what’s happening” multiple times (hopefully!).
