Comedian [[Dick Emery]] showcased his own out-takes as an epilogue entitled "A Comedy of Errors" to his BBC shows in the mid-1970s.  The later ITV show ''[[It'll Be Alright on the Night]]'' (originally hosted by [[Denis Norden]]) showed out-takes from film and TV. The [[BBC]]'s answer to the show, ''[[Auntie's Bloomers]]'' and its spin-off, ''Auntie's Sporting Bloomers'', ran until 2001. It was replaced by ''[[Outtake TV]]'', which began as a series of one-off specials in 2002, hosted by [[Paul O'Grady]], before a series was commissioned for [[BBC One]] in 2004, hosted by [[Anne Robinson]]. Special ''[[The Weakest Link (UK game show)|Weakest Link]]''-themed editions were common during Robinson's tenure, which lasted until 2009. [[Rufus Hound]] took over in 2010. ''Outtake TV'' now appears as occasional one-off specials, much in the same way as ''It'll Be Alright on the Night''.

ITV has produced two other shows, ''TV Nightmares'', and ''[[TV's Naughtiest Blunders]]''. Both were presented by [[Steve Penk]], before the latter show changed to show continuous clips with voice-over by [[Neil Morrissey]]. ''Nightmares'' presented TV personalities relating some of their most hair-raising moments, and ''Naughtiest Blunders'' presented more risqué mistakes. The latter has also been criticised for being used as a simple schedule filler, often with ridiculously titled editions (e.g. ''All New TV's Naughtiest Blunders 18'').

During the 1982–83 season, [[television producer|TV producer]] [[Dick Clark]] revived the bloopers concept in America for a series of specials on [[NBC]] called ''TV's Censored Bloopers''. This led to [[TV Bloopers & Practical Jokes|a weekly series]] which ran from 1984 through 1992 (co-hosted by Clark and [[Ed McMahon]]) and was followed by more specials that appeared on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] irregularly until 2004, still hosted by Clark. These specials and a record album of radio bloopers produced by Clark in the mid-1980s were dedicated to the memory of Kermit Schaefer.

After Clark suffered a [[stroke]], the blooper shows went on hiatus until 2007, when [[John O'Hurley]] hosted a special for ABC that was packaged by Dick Clark Productions.

The success of both Clark's and Norden's efforts led to imitators on virtually all American and Australian TV networks, as well as scores of [[home video]] releases; many American productions are aired to fill gaps in [[prime time]] schedules. The ABC Network aired ''[[Foul-Ups, Bleeps & Blunders]]'' hosted by [[Steve Lawrence]] and [[Don Rickles]] in direct competition with the Clark TV series. With the coming of [[DVD]] in the 1990s, it became common for major film releases to include a "blooper reel" (also known as a "gag reel" or simply "outtakes") as bonus material on the disc.

In 1985, [[Steve Rotfeld]] began compiling [[stock footage]] of various sports-related errors and mistakes and compiled them into a program known as ''[[Bob Uecker]]'s Wacky World of Sports''. In the early 1990s, that series eventually evolved into ''[[The Lighter Side of Sports]]'' and continued in limited production through the early 2000s.

[[NFL Films]], the official production arm of the [[National Football League]], has produced a line of blooper reels known as the [[Football Follies]] for both television and direct-to-video consumption since 1968.
