This show was almost the only reason, why he stopped being unbearable.
Six teams consisting of a schoolboy and his relative competed in an intellectual game. In the first and third rounds it was necessary to raise signs with the correct answers. In the second, cubes with letters fell from a pipe, and then they had to form a word from them.
The two best players met in the final. Their task was to make as many small words as possible from one long one. And in the end, the winner received gifts incredible for a child of the 90s: a stereo system, a VCR or other equipment that one could only dream of.
Presenter Sergei Suponev added points to “Finest Hour”.
2. "Dolls"
The satirical program was not at all childish, despite the name. For the show, dolls were made that caricatured politicians and famous people of that time.
The program talked about current events, often weaving them into classic stories like Lermontov’s “Hero of Our Time.”
3. “Up to 16 and older”
During its existence, the program transformed from a television magazine into a talk show. Here, almost for the first time, the problems of young people began to be raised on television in a language they understood.
“Under 16 and over” is clearly inferior to modern programs; television has moved far ahead. But in order to review some episodes, you can, for example, the series with the participation of Viktor Tsoi.
4. "Call of the Jungle"
“Wednesday evening after dinner...” or “No sleep on Saturday morning” - it doesn’t matter what time this call sign sounds. We know for sure that you need to be strong and brave, dexterous, skillful, and then the jungle will call you. The program's intro was assembled from an advertisement for fruit syrup, the manufacturer of which was the sponsor of the program. And it was from “Call of the Jungle” that many learned about the existence of pandas and koalas.
5. “MuzOboz”
“Musical Review” was hosted by Ivan Demidov, who invariably appears before the audience wearing black glasses. The program talked about fashion, and it was a program that had no analogues - a kind of MTV, locked into the half-hour framework of MuzOboz.
6. “Lego!”
As the name suggests, the roots of the program are advertising, but was this really of interest to young viewers in the 90s? The program was reminiscent of Call of the Jungle, only all the competitions were related to Lego figures, both small and huge. And the main prize looked like a miracle; the winner was given a trip to the Legoland amusement park.
7. “Call Kuza”
An interactive program from the 90s, in which the viewer could reach the host and live play one of the games with the participation of the troll Kuzi. True, for most, the program initially existed in the let's play genre: it is not easy to get through and switch the phone to tone mode when only a disk drive is available, and even that is from the neighbors.
8. "New reality"
Another sponsored program filled with children's unrealistic hopes. Presenter Sergei Suponev talked about games for Dendy, GameBoy, Super Nintendo and Sega Mega Drive.
9. "Pun"
The long crash of the Broiler 747 plane, the village of fools, the secret tank from the First World War and other cross-cutting plots were immediately remembered because of simple jokes that amounted to clownery and vivid images of the characters.
10. "Town"
This program appeared in 1993 and lasted until 2012. It was closed after the death of Ilya Oleinikov, one of the actors of the comedy show. Together with Yuri Stoyanov, he filmed sketches on different topics. A special section was dedicated to hidden camera pranks.
11. "Love at first sight"
A TV game that instantly became popular among the people and was repeated, probably, at all school lights and evenings. Three guys and three girls met for the first time in the program studio. After the first round, in which they met, they had to choose one of the three opposite. The couples whose choices matched continued to fight for victory.
By the way, back then the clamps were more flexible, because new couple I could immediately win for two.
12. “Gladiator Fights”
The international show International Gladiators 1 in Russia was broadcast with comments by Nikolai Fomenko. In it, ordinary people competed for victory. But in most trials they fought not with each other, but with physically trained gladiators.
From Russia, four contestants and four gladiators took part in the show. Among the latter are Vladimir Turchinsky and Sergei Ruban.
13. "Happy Accident"
There was little entertainment in this intellectual family quiz, but that was not required in the 90s. Two teams answered questions one after another and scored points. Particularly anticipated was the Dark Horse round, which featured a guest star.
14. "Caution, modern"
Dmitry Nagiyev and Sergey Rost will forever remain in our hearts strong family at least from four people, and in the glamorous TV presenter we will see warrant officer Zadov.
15. "Gold Rush"
This game doesn’t immediately pop into your head when you start thinking about the 90s show, but the main prize - 1 kg - refreshes your memory well.
Presenter Leonid Yarmolnik moved inside a huge cage while the players answered questions. It is noteworthy that the program was closed due to the financial crisis.
16. "Empire of Passion"
The strip game was led by Nikolai Fomenko. The participants - a man and a woman - completed tasks, and if they failed, they had to take off an item of clothing. The loser usually ended up wearing only his underpants by the end of the broadcast.
17. “Through the mouth of a baby”
A program in which children explain a word or concept, and two teams of adults try to understand them. The program is still running, but we are reviewing the recordings from the 90s, for example with Mark Amodeo.
18. “Your own director”
The program, filled with amateur video, was at its peak when most TV viewers could only dream of a camera. The program is still being published, although if it exists, it is not supported by rollers.
This is a kind of club, the atmosphere is more like home: there are several million viewers who watch this program - they exist, they are neither more nor less. These are people who get up at half past seven on Sunday morning, turn on the TV and watch the program.
Alexey Lysenkov, presenter
19. “From the screw”
The program changed the channel several times, but viewers followed it, because the program opened the door to the world of computer games.
20. Dog show “Me and my dog”
The owners and their dogs competed in several competitions. The person had to answer questions, and his pet had to successfully complete the tasks. However, the rules did not prohibit the owner from going through the obstacle course instead. Usually the main obstacle for quadrupeds was the fabric tunnel.
The scores were given by a jury, and the smartest dogs did not always win. Sometimes it was enough for the dog to be touchingly stupid and the owner to be charming.
What programs from the 90s do you remember?
Russian entertainment television of the 1990s was firmly connected with the social situation dictated by the turbulent 10th anniversary. It was not easy, but extremely interesting times. Television of the 90s was an oasis of amazing freedom, a vibrant carnival, where it was possible to do things for which they are now accused of extremism and channels are closed. Moreover, it does not matter at all whether it was a serious socio-political program or a youth talk show.
These TV shows can certainly be called mirrors of time.

What programs do you remember? What did you like?
The children of perestroika had only 2 channels on their TV - First and Second. And they were called not channels, but programs. And there was no remote control - you had to get up and click a tight switch in a circle. Television of those times was terribly boring for Soviet children, so they noted in advance with a pen in the newspaper program interesting programs. Usually it was " Good night, kids", m/f and children's films/t/f during the holidays. As the children of perestroika grew older, more programs interesting to them appeared, and there were more channels in the 90s.
Let's try to remember all those programs that riveted our attention to black and white screens. Judging by the videos, they were in color, but I thought... :)
Under the cut there are about 30 videos that can evoke an unprecedented surge of nostalgia for Soviet television and childhood.
The program schedule could be found not only in the newspaper - every day this aunt read it on TV.
The broadcast network was so thin that television crews could afford such a waste of airtime.
Of course, the number one program for the Soviet child was “Good night, kids,” with her unforgettable Aunt Tanya.
Somewhere in the late 80s another screensaver appeared:
The day was a nightmare if instead of “good night” they turned on some kind of hockey or football. This was the end - after all, tomorrow might not come (“..tomorrow will be a day again”)!
Remember how we sat and waited for this stormy football to end, but it didn’t end and didn’t end... And then mom said, “Go to sleep”... Tears, snot, etc., etc.
The same thing happened with the endless program “International Panorama”, after which there was always supposed to be a cartoon at 19-15. But “Panorama” was constantly extended by 5-10 minutes, driving the Soviet child out of patience.
The second most anticipated program was “Visiting a Fairy Tale,” hosted by everyone’s beloved Aunt Valya, my fellow countrywoman. The program was broadcast on Saturdays evening time. By this time, parents were in a hurry to bathe their children so that they could calmly, before going to bed, watch their fairy tale and pass out.
Do you remember Valya’s co-host’s aunt Noki?
It wasn’t just a mother’s stern cry from the window or a father’s belt that could drive a Soviet child off the street - it was enough to shout “The Jumble is beginning!” and the yard instantly became empty.
If you had nothing else to do, you could watch “In the World of Animals,” which replaced a trip to the zoo. Good health to Nikolai Drozdov. These people are like a bridge to our past.
You could see distant countries in the program “Travelers Club”. How would you and I know then about Thor Heyerdahl and his “Kon-Tiki”? Of course, from my beloved Yuri Senkevich. They also showed a film about Shaolin monks.
Another program with the great presenter Sergei Petrovich Kapitsa is “Obvious-Incredible”. I liked the intro for this program most of all and didn’t watch the rest.
Children's educational program "ABVGDEyka", with funny clowns. For some reason I don’t remember watching it. What about you?
Around 1991, a real drug for children appeared on television - Walt Disney Presents. Weaning from watching a weekly portion of foreign cartoons was a very severe punishment for a child.
“Chip and Dale to the Rescue”, “DuckTales”, “Miracles on Bends”, “Team Goofy”, “Black Cape”, “Crazy” - it’s impossible to imagine our childhood without these heroes. Their images were everywhere - on backpacks, on chewing gum inserts, on badges, erasers, pencil cases and transfer cases.
This program was also a favorite - “Marathon-15”, with Zhora Galustyan and young Suponev:
Suponev was born for children's programs. We will forever remember him from the “Finest Hour” programs...
... "Call of the Jungle"
At first the program was broadcast on Wednesdays, so the intro was sung “On Wednesday evening, after dinner, sleep for tired, grown-up people...”. And then they moved it to Saturday - “I don’t feel like sleeping on Saturday morning...”. :)
He also prepared stories for “Under 16 and Over.”
It was a great show. There they often talked about rockers and played their music.
The most “fatal” program was “Jam”:
From 1995 to 1998 I did not miss a single release.
Exciting competitions from the world of acting - " Magic world, or Cinema":
And an entire “Lego!” program was dedicated to the LEGO constructor:
Equally adored by both men and women, “Rhythmic Gymnastics” (“Aerobics”). Who repeated the movements after them? :)
Program for film fans - "Kinopanorama":
For football fans- "Football Review":
For the smart guys there were two whole programs - “What? Where? When?”...
I always thought that all experts are fabulously rich people :)
And "Brain Ring".
We watch the beginning of the program - there they always gave Dovgan the floor :)
Who remembers “Fifty, fifty, fifty-fifty...”? :)
Every Sunday morning, everyone watched the program "Morning Star". How many performers who later became “stars” passed through the stage of this program.
Another "early bird" of the weekend - "Morning Mail":
The funniest program of the pre-comedy club times is “Around Laughter”:
"Musical ring":
"Sight":
"Fort Bayard" was watched by both adults and children. I also loved this show from the early 90s.
Well, how can we not remember the presenter with interesting name, surname and gestures - Valdis Pelsh and his show “Guess the Melody”? :)
I am sure that I forgot about at least 10 more programs that you will try to remember. You can add links to videos or insert videos into comments.

Russian entertainment television of the 1990s was firmly connected with the social situation dictated by the turbulent 10th anniversary. It was a difficult, but extremely interesting time. Television of the 90s was an oasis of amazing freedom, a vibrant carnival, where it was possible to do things for which they are now accused of extremism and channels are closed. Moreover, it does not matter at all whether it was a serious socio-political program or a youth talk show.
These TV shows can certainly be called mirrors of time.

Brain ring
"Brain Ring" is a television game. The first issue was released on May 18, 1990. The idea of implementing the “Brain Ring” on TV was born to Vladimir Voroshilov back in 1980, but he was able to implement it only almost 10 years later. The first few episodes were hosted by Vladimir Voroshilov himself, but later, due to his lack of free time, the role of host was transferred to Boris Kryuk, who could not appear on the set, and Andrei Kozlov became the host.

10 cult shows on the topic of the day
Television of the 90s was an oasis of amazing freedom, a vibrant carnival, where it was possible to do things for which they are now accused of extremism and channels are closed. Moreover, it does not matter at all whether it was a serious socio-political program or a youth talk show. Public Administrator " Orbita-4 » Alexander Pavlov compiled a selection of key programs of that time. The first issue contains vivid examples of “public television”.
New Year's broadcast
Celebrating the New Year on television in the post-perestroika era was somewhat different from current standards. If now it is customary to criticize channels for complete absence connection with reality (even the fact that Putin re-records his holiday address and mentions terrorist attacks is already considered an achievement), then reality, on the contrary, crawled out of all the cracks - so much so that it was time to hide. The upcoming 1993 in this sense became an unconditional peak, which overshadowed even the speech of the humorist Zadornov in the place of the head of state the year before: the media characters in their speeches were all gloomier than a cloud. Listyev called to take care of children, because they will have a harder time than their parents, Estonian interview master Urmass Ott wished that televisions would not break (because you can’t buy new ones), Garry Kasparov spoke about the difference between life and survival, announcer Kirillov was unusually sad and taciturn , and not to make such sour faces, the one who most urged everyone, oddly enough, was news presenter Tatyana Rostislavovna Mitkova. However, not everything was so permeated with decadence: there were also outstanding musical numbers with approximately the same set of characters, for example, a choral performance of the song “Smile” (from which the only conclusion follows is that Konstantin Ernst was and remains very cool, but he sings absolutely monstrously).
"Wild Field"
After the closure of the then legendary program “600 Seconds” (as is known, built on the highly social schemes “corpse-popik-philharmonic” and “bastards-prostitutes-radiation”), Alexander Nevzorov finally cemented his all-Russian fame as the most radical (if not to say frostbitten) TV journalist. In essence, everything remained the same - slums, garbage dumps, courtyards, the most terrible scenes from hot spots (the First Chechen War had just begun) and signature dramatic intonations, but only on the first button instead of Leningrad TV. Nevzorov’s “Wild Field,” shown in prime time on ORT, is, without exaggeration, a real symphony, which consisted entirely of crazy texture and endless emphasis on shock content (as Alexander Glebovich himself mocked, “it’s not enough for a corpse to hang in the frame - let’s shake it a little more”). What stands out is his fascinating interview with the cannibal Ilshat Kuzikov: jokes in the spirit of “two drank, one ate”, close-ups a three-liter can of human soup and the punchline uttered in a sepulchral voice: “Don’t turn away - this is St. Petersburg.” There were other successes - for example, a story about a women's zone called “Pickers”; in general, it is still not possible to surpass this.
The heroes of Sergei Dorenko's reports hated him from the very beginning of the 90s, from the time of the "Versia" program, followed by the chair of the host of "Time", and, finally, the famous author's program - a real nail bomb of the air, which exploded at the end of the decade. “What does he allow himself to do,” “fuck him up the ass,” “you’re kind of square - they’ve already taken you off the screen, but you still don’t fit into any box, leave the country,” - for his career I had to listen to everything, and mostly, naturally, to the point. If we exclude all the political twists and turns (who, whom, for how much and why killed each other on TV with the help of Sergei Leonidovich, and what ultimately came of it), one thing can be said: Dorenko’s talent is not just throwing shit at the fan, but driving entire echelons to fan towns (“Primakov’s legs will be cut off!”, “What if Luzhkov is dressed as a woman?”, “Let’s give Chubais a Xerox box!”) should be subjected to careful study more than once. However, he could also be sweet - for example, at the dawn of her career, Zemfira left the famous gray studio alive and unharmed.
"Sight"
The main mouthpiece of the changes of the end of Soviet times (glasnost, criticism of the regime, vivid, although sometimes naive, reports about shootings in fraternal republics, prisons, prostitution, neo-Nazis and rock music) with the advent of new realities became less acute and more and more sad: with heartbreaking stories about orphans and the general message “What happened to us?”
Nevertheless, the nightly broadcasts of “Vzglyad” continued to be loved and watched out of old memory - largely thanks to the editorial instinct, which can only be truly appreciated now. Even before the all-Russian fame of the film “Brother”, Sergei Bodrov, as a host, interviewed Alexei Balabanov (what is especially important, he did not at all look like a complete misanthrope); in 1999, Evgeniy Roizman was sitting in the studio with his “City without Drugs” ( long before any LiveJournal and political ambitions), after all, even with the group “Annihilator Cannon”, which later became an Internet meme, “Vzglyad” even talked to God knows when.
"Marathon-15"
In essence, the same “Vzglyad”, only for little ones - the teenage program, which did not seem to be particularly original, firstly, promptly (sometimes even too much) responded to the agenda, and secondly, thanks to the rising star of Sergei Suponev, it was amazing, no matter how trite it may sound, with absolutely amazing warmth and sincerity. Favorite kids of the 90s " Finest hour" and "Dandy - new reality“came directly from “Marathon-15” and was famous for precisely this: intonationally, the conversation was conducted on equal terms, as with adults, except perhaps without mentioning the horrors of perestroika. “Marathon” itself noticeably overdid it with horror - the innocent construction of a snowy town in the frame could suddenly and unexpectedly turn into destroyed churches, empty counters, tank tracks and Kalashnikov assault rifles.
"Program A"
The most shameless in terms of selection musical material a television show that generally avoided any ostentatious attempts to play with postmodernism, but at the same time, was not afraid to take risks from time to time - which often helped it gather a fairly decent audience in front of the screens. So, in 1992, in “Program A”, they showed the live group “Automatic Satisfiers” with absolutely stunning effect (where lead singer Andrei Panov, drunk in his handcar, lay a lot and interestingly on the stage), and in 94, they arranged for Yegor Letov a session of direct communication with country.
“Egor, I don’t understand your tricks, why do you consider communists and fascists to be the forces of light? “Because their ideas unite people, these are ideas that fight loneliness, and whoever doesn’t understand this is either scum or scum,” - against the backdrop of the fact that this happened six months after the October events, such statements looked at least At least, it’s pretty cool (plus it’s even scary to imagine what an indignant public would do with the channel these days). But, as they say, not just scandals - sometimes you could turn on “Program A” and stumble upon a pleasant surprise like a concert by post-rock pioneers Bark Psychosis.
"Glasnost Booth"
A resonant TV hit of the new Russia, which grew out of a simple idea to install a small room with a camera on Red Square, film everyone who wanted to, and use the resulting material to create a collective portrait of the country. As a result, as of November 7, 1991, only one thing could be understood - extensive social upheavals had seriously undermined the already precarious mental health of the average citizen. In addition to shy provincials in cockerel hats and children reporting that “in Ukraine everything is normal, there is no shortage,” there were also storytellers about the apocalypse, and religious fanatics, and angry townspeople with an unpleasant gleam in their eyes - however, the characters are difficult to describe: a completely different speech , completely different faces, completely different texture. Despite the irregularity of its release, “Budka” has firmly settled in popular consciousness- it was not only parodied (such as the “Dolls” program or Yevgeny Petrosyan), but also clone programs of the same name were made in all seriousness on regional channels.
"Theme"
Vlad Listyev's benefit performance and the first full-fledged talk show with issues that everyone has long wanted to discuss normally on air - both seriously (privatization, a referendum on confidence in the president, the death penalty, the legalization of firearms, bankers, rampant crime) and not so seriously (nudists, biofield, Bigfoot). A classic example is the episode about the phenomenon of child businessmen, in which the studio asks the boy Dima and other nameless entrepreneurs with translucent ears how they make a living - in the process it is impossible to escape the feeling that you are watching the heroes of the film by Sergei Solovyov “A Tender Age” .
"My Family"
The program that actually gave birth to the entire domestic “television for housewives” and demonstrated in all its splendor the unconditional commercial genius of Valery Komissarov, who had the appearance of a comic lawyer-swindler, and later a State Duma deputy and the author of the concepts of “House-2” and “Windows”. Conflict-free and cozy “My Family” tried not to make a complex facial expression and especially not to get involved in global issues - only everyday life, only internal affairs, only ordinary stories ordinary people(those with sharper stories hid under the famous “Mask of Revelation”). At the beginning of the 2000s, everything turned slightly yellow (about which the newspaper was sometimes indignant). Komsomolskaya Pravda“- they say, the screenwriters’ ears stick out quite openly in the plots, how can that be) and has lost its natural charm, but the golden times when Eduard Limonov, for example, did not disdain to come and talk about the “new Russians” (and using no one as an example for them) anything, but drug lord Pablo Escobar) will remain in eternity.
"Field of Miracles"
Over the course of more than 20 years of existence, the cornerstone of domestic entertainment television has finally lost the remnants of social significance and common sense, finding itself buried under gift rubble from dried fish and pickled mushrooms. Now it’s difficult to imagine that it was once different: the country was seriously indignant at the replacement of the intelligent Listyev (who, during the game, asked teenagers how the situation was with Lyubers, subtly joked about the right deviation and said hello to the then mayor of Moscow Gavriil Popov) with “ this drunk” Yakubovich or looked at the crazy collaboration of “Field of Miracles” with NTV’s “Dolls” in support of Yeltsin in the elections. However, the real quintessence of what happened can be considered the 100th broadcast of the program in 1993 - there, among other things, cosmonauts from the Mir station won video recorders while being directly in low-Earth orbit, and a rustic mustachioed man who lost an almost won car due to a tip from a drunk viewer, overnight became an object of pity and sympathy on a national scale (many sincerely believed that justice would prevail, and the Vremya program will now report that they finally gave him the car, but, of course, alas).
Quite a characteristic modern detail: in interprogram beats children's TV channel Yakubovich’s “Carousel” is already called nothing less than “Grandfather Lenya” (and even Pozner is still “Uncle Vova”, even though he is 11 years older) - and this does not add optimism either to Leonid Arkadyevich himself, or to you and me.
