This transfer was almost the only reason why it ceased to be 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 the 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 lunch...” 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 call the host and play one of the games with the participation of the troll Kuzi live. 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 various 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 got acquainted, 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 bonds were more flexible, because the new couple 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"
In our hearts, Dmitry Nagiyev and Sergey Rost will forever remain a strong family of at least four people, and in the glamorous TV presenter we will see Ensign 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 having 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?
Domestic television in the nineties and the first half of the 2000s paid special attention to modern music. Once upon a time there were two full-fledged music TV channels - at first the cult MTV and the more simple Muz-TV. In addition, large federal ones had their own music editorial offices that regularly produced interesting programs.
Nowadays, music channels can also be found on cable television, but they have no more viewers than TV channels about hunting and fishing. Their level is questionable and far from what was produced ten years ago. Let's remember a few particularly remarkable television programs that shaped tastes, documented what was happening and simply entertained very enthusiastically.
MuzOboz
Years of existence: 1991 - 2000
TV channel: Channel One, 2×2, TV-6
The main herald of domestic pop music, which had not yet received the offensive name of pop (I remember, pop music was called pop), was MuzOboz. The name stands for Musical Review. Coming from the Vzglyad team, Ivan Demidov decided to launch a music news program. The format is standard - clips, reports, interviews. MuzOboz organized group concerts of various pop stars in cities and towns. By the way, MuzOboz went with concerts to the Baltic states, where Russians received the status of non-citizens. The program was almost accused of being the imperial banner of Russia.
MuzOboz, which wandered through different channels, but was associated with TV-6, became a real academy for young journalists. It was in this television project that Otar Kushanashvili and Lera Kudryavtseva, real stars of domestic TV, began working. And Ivan Demidov himself, thanks to his impeccable image, became a cult figure.
Cafe "Oblomov"
Years of existence: 1994 - 1997
TV channel: NTV, RTR
Artemy Troitsky show, show named after Artemy Troitsky. At the time of the launch of the program “Cafe Oblomov”, Troitsky was the main music critic of Russia, an unquestioned authority, the author of the bestseller “Rock in the Union”, which was distributed including through samizdat and under various titles.
Based on the opinion of Troitsky, known not only in Russia but also in the West, lists of musicians traveling to foreign festivals were compiled; he was friends with Alla Borisovna, that is, the importance of his personality was very great even in the Soviet Union. By the mid-90s, Troitsky could afford to create an elitist program with imposing, high-brow arguments and advanced Western artists. Troitsky was interviewed by David Bowie, and even Yuri Khoy (with Nadezhda Babkina) appeared in one of the episodes. The main function of the program is, of course, educational; sometimes Artemy Kivovich would rock out, but this happened rarely.
Feather sharks
Years of existence: 1995 - 1998, 2009 - 2010, 2012)
TV channel: TV-6. TV Jam
The stars are under attack. The prototype of the television program was undoubtedly “The Musical Ring”. It was there that the audience asked the most unpleasant questions to the invited artists. In “Sharks of the Pen,” the audience was replaced by professional questioners, journalists mostly from print media, and the level of questions increased even more. The program was hosted by MK music observer Ilya Legostaev. The guests of “Sharks of the Pen” were both Russian rockers and representatives of the so-called pop music. One of the most resonant releases was the program with the participation of the group “Malchishnik” and Dolphin’s first performance as a solo artist. “Sharks of the Pen” were twice tried to be revived on the Internet channel TV Jam; heroes of the new era, like Smokey Mo and Guf, were already communicating with journalists. However, the program is currently closed.
12 angry spectators
Years of existence: 1999 - 2009
TV channel: MTV
One of the most important MTV programs of the classic period. Technically, 12 Evil Spectators is a reworked Western format. However, unlike the original, the Russian version blossomed with bright colors and existed almost until the closure of the big Russian MTV. “12 Evil Spectators” was considered the most democratic show. Students and schoolchildren, journalists and musicians aged from 15 to 25 (rarely who were older) evaluated the videos of artists ranging from the main emtivish stars to some completely outrageous thrash, like the group Ahi-Vzdohi (who has heard this hit at least once, will never forget him). “12 Evil Spectators” also made a philological contribution; the word “sucks” became commonly used. The program was released at intervals of ten years. It only makes sense to watch episodes from November 1999 to January 2002, which were hosted by the charismatic Yana Churikova. After her departure, the program faded and stupid changes took place in it.
Anthropology
Years of existence: 1997 - 2001
TV channel: Teleexpo, NTV
The word “Anthoropology” at the turn of the 90s and 00s. associated with Dmitry Dibrov. The smiling Rostovite, who had worked on television for almost twenty years by the time the program was launched, could get anyone talking. Formally, Anthropology was not an exclusively musical program. These were intimate midnight conversations and live performances. Artists such as “Me and My Friend the Truck”, Knife for Frau Müller or Pepsi could perform at Anthropology. That is, all bohemian favorites. We couldn’t do without Boris Grebenshchikov.
Earth-Air
Years of existence: 2002 - 2003
TV channel: TVS
TVS inherited the frequency of art-house TV-6, and “Earth-Air” inherited the “Sharks of the Pen” program in a slightly modified version. The musicians performed for employees of all key Russian radio stations (ranging from Radio Chanson to Echo of Moscow). The history of the program turned out to be laconic - in fact, one season (however, the channel existed for a little more than a year). The presenters were Anton Komolov and – attention – Vasily Utkin. In addition to the eternal Boris Grebenshchikov and Andrei Makarevich, they were not afraid to invite the newly emerging group “Casta” to the program. We especially loved the NAIV group. Chacha participated in the program both as an expert and as a musician.
SHIT parade
Years of existence: 1997 - 2007
TV channel: Biz-TV, MTV
The SHIT parade is the opposite of a hit parade, the worst videos of the week. The program anticipated its time and would have looked quite natural on the Peretz TV channel. In fact, the SHIT parade was the first collection of memes with funny comments from the hosts. The program had its own favorites or whipping boys, like Krestov or Alexei Vishny, and the Psyche group also got their spots.
In those years when the program was broadcast, there was a boom in all kinds of charts; MTV showed charts every day. The SHIT parade was perceived as sobering. It is significant that the SHIT parade was almost completely copied on Muz-TV under the name Pip Parade. It is also interesting that the program, which is associated exclusively with MTV of the early 00s, first began airing back in 1997 on Biz-Tv, the predecessor of MTV.
Musical ring
Years of existence: 1984 - 2000
TV channel: Channel Five, RTR
The program had two guises. Initially, during perestroika, the name of this program called the “ring” the place where the artists performed. The musicians, mostly rockers emerging from the shadows, performed on a stage reminiscent of a circus arena. After each song, they came under fire from tricky questions from viewers of different ages and social groups. The level of discussion was very high. In the second incarnation, already in the 90s the ring became a place of confrontation between musicians. The winner was determined by voting. Pop artists replaced perestroika rockers. One noteworthy thing: the program has a clone on NTV called “NTV Musical Ring”.
"Up to 16 and older..."
Years of existence: 1997-2001
TV channel: ORT
A television program with almost twenty years of history, because the first episode dates back to 1983. The program covered current problems of youth life: homelessness, the “rocker” movement, topics of drug addiction and “hazing,” problems of leisure and family relationships. On June 28, 2001, the program was released for the last time, and in the fall of the same year it finally went on indefinite leave.
Russian entertainment television of the 1990s was firmly connected with the social situation dictated by the dashing 10th anniversary. It was a difficult, but extremely interesting time. Television of the 90s was an oasis of amazing freedom...
Russian entertainment television of the 1990s was firmly connected with the social situation dictated by the dashing 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.
Love at first sight
"Love at First Sight" is a television romance game show. Aired from January 12, 1991 to August 31, 1999 on the RTR television channel. It was renewed on March 1, 2011 and was published until the middle of that year. It was released on weekends in two parts, and in its entirety it was broadcast on RTR, and after a long break - on MTV Russia.
Dandy - New reality
“Dandy - New Reality” (then simply “New Reality”) is a children’s television program about computer games on game consoles, aired in Russia from 1994 to 1996 - first on channel 2x2, then on ORT. Presenter Sergei Suponev talked for about half an hour about several games for 8-bit consoles Dendy, Game Boy and 16-bit Sega Mega Drive, Super Nintendo.
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. From February 6 to December 4, 2010, the game was broadcast on the STS channel. From October 12, 2013 to December 28, 2013 on the Zvezda TV channel.
Keys to Fort Bayar
“Fort Boyard”, “The Keys to Fort Baylard” is a popular adventure television show set in the Bay of Biscay, off the coast of Charente-Maritime, in Fort Baylard. The TV game “Keys to Fort Boyar” first appeared on Russian air in 1992 on Ostankino Channel One. In 1994, the NTV channel began showing a program called “The Keys to Fort Bayar” and for several years in a row broadcast translated original French editions of the program, as well as one season of “Russians at Fort Bayar” (in 1998), translated national versions of the games in Great Britain and Norway and Canada. From 2002 to 2006, the program was broadcast on the Rossiya TV channel under the name “Fort Boyard”. In the spring of 2012, the Karusel TV channel broadcast joint games between the USA and Great Britain with the participation of teenagers. In the summer of 2012, Red Square LLC filmed 9 programs with the participation of Russian celebrities. The premiere took place on February 16, 2013 on Channel One.
Both on
"Both on!" - humorous television program. The first episode of “Both-on!” released November 19, 1990. The program had several presenters at the same time, including Igor Ugolnikov, Nikolai Fomenko, Evgeniy Voskresensky. "Both on!" was a rather bold humorous program. The program became famous for a story called “Funeral of Food” (a current joke from 1991). The latest episode of the “Both-on!” program aired December 24, 1995.
Finest hour
“Star Hour” is a children's television program aired on Mondays on Channel 1 of Ostankino/ORT from October 19, 1992 to January 16, 2002. It was conducted in the format of an intellectual game. The first host of the program was actor Alexey Yakubov, but he was soon replaced by Vladimir Bolshov. The first few months of 1993 were hosted by Igor Bushmelev and Elena Shmeleva (Igor and Lena), from April 1993 until the end of its existence, the host was Sergei Suponev, who later became the head of the program. Project by Vlad Listyev.
Gentleman show
“Gentleman Show” is a humorous television show founded by members of the KVN team of Odessa State University “Odessa Gentlemen’s Club”. From May 17, 1991 to November 4, 1996, “The Gentleman Show” aired on RTR. From November 21, 1996 to September 15, 2000, the show aired on ORT. From December 22, 2000 to March 9, 2001, the program was again broadcast on RTR.
Mask Show
“Maski Show” is a humorous television series produced by the Odessa comedy troupe “Maski” in the style of silent cinema. Country of origin: Ukraine (1991-2006).
One of the distinctive features of the children's programs was their music. Many of us still remember the simple, but such memorable words of the intro songs. So, speaking about the popular intellectual quiz “Finest Hour”, the words immediately come to mind: "Day or night, a miracle will open the door".
The program has been aired since 1992 on Channel 1, and later on ORT. Its author is Vlad Listyev. Six teams took part, each of which consisted of a student and one parent (less often a teacher or friend). Moms and dads answered questions at the same time as their children, earning them extra points.
At the very beginning, the program often changed presenters, until Sergei Suponev came. He not only quickly fell in love with the audience, but also made “Finest Hour” a mega-popular show. The program ceased to exist in 2002, a month and a half after the tragic death of Suponev.
"Call of the Jungle"
And again, when I remember her, the song joyfully plays in my head: "Wednesday evening after dinner...". By the way, few people will remember, but at the very beginning, when the program aired on Saturdays, its musical intro sounded differently: “I don’t feel like sleeping on Saturday morning...”.

The program aired on ORT from 1995 to 2002. After Suponev, it was led first by Pyotr Fedorov, then by Nikolai Gadomsky. In 1999, the Call of the Jungle program was awarded the TEFI Prize.
"King of the Hill"
Another fun sports game is “King of the Hill.” In it, children had to pass various tests in a short time.
The most memorable of them was the obstacle course. Every viewer dreamed of going through it. Well, the main goal of the game is to climb onto “Olympus” and stand there for 30 seconds, holding on to the button and not allowing your opponents to push you off.

The host of the program was Alexey Veselkin. The show first aired in 1999, and in 2003 it was closed due to Veselkin’s departure from Channel One.
"Morning Star"
An error occurred while loading.
The program started in March 1991. Participants aged from 3 to 22 years old showed their skills in vocal or dance genres (depending on age).
The host and author of the program is Yuri Nikolaev. According to him, working on each issue of “Morning Star” was a real holiday for him. The competition lasted for more than 10 years and during this time it “ignited” many Russian pop stars, including Sergey Lazarev, Angelika Varum, Yulia Nachalova, Valeria, Pelageya, Vlad Topalov, the Lyceum group and many others.
In 2002, the program was taken off the air on Channel One. According to some media reports, at that time the management wanted to focus the audience on another project - “Star Factory”.
"Up to 16 and older..."
This television program can be safely added to the ranks of the “long-livers”. It existed on domestic television for almost 20 years. The first episode aired in 1983. The program was dedicated to the problems of modern youth, which, by the way, are still relevant now: drugs, alcohol, sex, conflicts in the family and with peers, etc.
The program was first published in the format of a video magazine, composed of several stories, and then turned into a talk show, the heroes of which were musicians, actors, writers, directors and producers.

"Visiting a fairy tale"
“Visiting”, perhaps, deservedly can receive the title of not only another “long-liver”, but the most magical program on TV. The program showed and discussed children of different ages.
Viewers sent drawings and crafts based on the films they watched. Presenter Valentina Leontyeva (Aunt Valya) always opened the program with the words: “Hello, dear children and respected adult comrades!”
An error occurred while loading.
In the 1990s, the transmission underwent changes. It was renamed “Through the Looking Glass”, the adult presenter was replaced with a boy and a girl. The children found themselves “inside the fairy tale,” and various adventures happened to them.
"Understand me"
Another program that constantly gathered children in front of the screens in the 90s was “Understand Me” - a great variation of the famous game “Broken Phone”.
The players were divided into two teams of five people. The goal of the game is to help the other participant guess the encrypted word as quickly as possible using synonyms.. In this case, the person explaining cannot repeat words (including words with the same root) heard from the previous team member.

Over the years, the program was hosted by Matvey Ganapolsky, Pavel Maikov, Oleg Marusev, Evgeny Stychkin and others. In 2013, “Understand Me” was revived on the “Carousel” channel with the presenter Olga Shelest. A total of three seasons were filmed. The latest release of the program was released in March 2016.
"Through the Mouth of a Baby"
“Through the mouth of a baby” is perhaps the cutest. The rules are quite simple: children explain what they think this or that word means, and adults guess the word.
The program aired from 1992 to 2000. Its host was Alexander Gurevich. In 1995, “Through the Mouth of a Baby” was awarded the “Golden Ostap” award, and in 1996 the show was nominated for “TEFI” as “Best Program for Children.”

After the program was closed, they tried to revive it several times, but the show no longer has its former charm and popularity.
"Call Kuza"
“Kuzma, I’m watching you,” “Hey, buddy, we’ll lose quickly!”, “Laughter and laughter, but a cobblestone drove over me” - remember? Anyone who grew up in the 90s can easily recognize quotes from the popular program “Call Kuza” at that time.
The main condition was the presence of a telephone with tone dialing. The lucky ones who managed to get through to the famous troll ended up on television. Using the telephone buttons, the children controlled Kuzya in the game, helping him save his family, who had been kidnapped by the witch Scylla.

The program was hosted by Elena Perova, Kirill Suponev and Nikita Belov. At the end of the show, the song traditionally sounded: “Come in for the light, one hundred percent. With us you are not alone, one hundred percent...”
"Fort Boyard"
We couldn't pass up this adventure show. As a rule, it was watched by the whole family, including children. And how can you pass by here, when before your eyes are the brave participants who found themselves in an ancient fortress surrounded by water.
In order to guess the code word and open the treasury, they had to collect clues and clues by going into rooms where there were snakes, spiders, or even something worse. The color of the show was added by a mysterious old man with riddles.

The translated French editions of the game were first broadcast on television. Then participants from Russia went to conquer the fortress, which, of course, increased the ratings of the show even more.
What children's program did you like most in the 90s?
What was good about the 90s was television. At that time, there were a lot of really interesting programs on various channels. We can probably safely say that the “dashing 90s” were the golden time of domestic television. Not everything, of course - there was a lot of slag, but watching TV shows at that time was really interesting
Let's remember the most striking television programs of those years
Speaking about good television of the 90s, the first name that comes to mind is Suponev.
I think there is no need to explain why. This was, from my point of view, the golden era of good children's programs. He started back in the late 80s as a correspondent for the popular program “Under 16 and older...”. And later he makes a wonderful children's analogue of “Vzglyad” - “Marathon 15”. Well, it was in the 90s, thanks to him, that “Finest Hour”, “Call of the Jungle”, “Dandy - New Reality”, “King of the Hill”, “Seven Troubles - One Answer” appeared.
Mentioning “Vzglyad”, one cannot help but recall the programs of the VID television company
After all, it is thanks to the Vzglyodists that many programs and names have appeared that still “rule” on today’s television
These are “Field of Miracles”, “Matador”, “MuzOboz”, “Hit Conveyor”, “Bad Notes”, “Telescope”, “Theme”, “Rush Hour”, “Red Square”, “L-Club”, “ Guess the melody", "Silver Ball", "Sharks of the Feather", "These Funny Animals", "Wait for Me" ("Looking for You") and many others
Another source of talent was the independent private television company "Author's Television"
It was thanks to ATV that the programs “Namedni”, “Oba-Na!”, “Press Club”, “Jam Session”, “In Search of the Lost”, “Understand Me” and many other programs appeared
KVN can be called the next source of personnel, because it was in the 90s that the first post-KVN projects such as “Gentleman Show” and “OSB Studio” appeared
And even then they began to try former KVN participants as presenters - “A Happy Occasion”, “Through the Mouth of a Baby”
Another producer of TV programs was Vladimir Voroshilov’s television company Igra-TV.
In addition to the already popular "What? Where? When?" thanks to them, “Love at First Sight” and “Brain Ring” appeared on our screens
What else can you remember? Yes, there were many more programs that were popular with viewers - “Two Pianos”, “Town”, “White Parrot Club”, “Your Own Director”, “Pun”, “Masks of the Show”, “Dolls”, “Caution Modern”, “ Windows", "Empire of Passion", "Nails", "Program A"
What haven't I remembered yet? Add!
