Finest hour, Call Kuza, Guess the melody
In the 90s, there were many rating programs that would still gather their audience at the blue screens today. Some of them became the great-grandfathers of new projects, while others – sometimes lit up, then revived like a phoenix, but they were all instructive, funny and necessary.
Program for teenagers: smart, funny, resourceful. The game, which all children of the time were eager to get into, was shown on Monday afternoons. Channel One has been broadcasting a “quiz for the erudite” for almost 10 years. And, most likely, she would have been successful even now, if in 2001 her presenter Sergei Suponev had not unexpectedly died.
Family in a row – the parent and the child answered the questions of the presenter at the same time, earning points in the common piggy bank. In this way, mutual trust and support in the family was tested, and there was also an opportunity to win a super prize.
A serious analytical program that has existed on television for almost 20 years. The first program was released already in 1983. Only here the most sensitive topics for young people were raised: homelessness, drug addiction, hazing, youth trends and problems of family relationships. The TV show constantly changed its format, following the needs of the time, every year new headings appeared in it that covered specific topics: Tin-Tonic talked about the musical culture, the REP youth business, the intimate and intimate Tet-a -tet “.
The program was very popular among adolescents, since only in it was about the painful and significant for the youth of that time. The presenters spoke with their audience in the same language, since they were students of the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University.
The most romantic show of the Soviet era appeared on the screens of the country for almost 9 years, first on one channel, then after a short break on another, but it always attracted a large number of viewers. Merry Boris Kryuk and quivering Alla Volkova were her permanent hosts all this time.
Girls and guys who came to the program, and in the case of a well-aimed amurchik hit, could win the most real romantic trip. The game was dynamic, gambling, beautiful and fun. After a three-year break in broadcasting, Evelina Bledans and Tair Mamedov tried to repeat her fame on the MTV channel, but they did not grow together, and the program was forgotten.
Musical news first appeared as an appendage of the Vzglyad program, starting in 1991, and then suddenly grew to an independent broadcast.
Its permanent presenter Ivan Demidov in just 30 minutes talked about concerts, about current show business news, about new musical directions, showed clips of foreign performers and very quickly his brainchild became the most rated program on TV.
MuzOboz sites became the springboard to their first audience for many groups of that time. This is how we first heard the songs of Tekhnologiya, Lyceum, Liku Star and many others. And Ivan Demidov’s crown: “And there is no more news for today.”
Sunday mornings since 1992 were always fun to start if you played mind games for mums and dads. The two teams, competing with each other in “discussions”, “catch-ups”, “explanations”, “riddles” and other contests, had to penetrate the children’s logic and understand what the baby of the country was talking about. The smartest married couples, with the help of the presenter Alexander Gurevich, emerged victorious from this battle.
This program is a real breakthrough on Russian television. It was the first television computer game for children. The pioneer was the RTR channel, venturing in 1998 to launch such an unusual project. His century was short, the program ceased to exist in 1999.
The essence of the project was that the caller to the studio could control the main character with the buttons of his telephone, and the presenter had to play the game so that the lucky ones stay on the paid line for as long as possible.
This last project by Vlad Listyev became a successful embodiment, and in March 1995, an unprecedented musical game show appeared on ORT, where players assessed their musical literacy at the rate of the Central Bank of Russia. The first and permanent host of the program was Valdis Pelsh, who accomplished a real feat, filming 143 issues in 40 days.
The game is very dynamic, there are only three rounds and a super game. The audience always sang along with the participants and were sincerely upset if they did not have time to guess seven tunes in 30 seconds.
Every Saturday since 1993, with the light hand of the first presenter and author of the program, Sergei Suponev, the kids cheered for the teams of “predators” and “herbivores”. The game was built on the principle of “fun starts”, where the pupils of the elementary grades measured strength, dexterity and resourcefulness in search of the treasure. The winners were those with the most bananas or bones.
