Comedy shows of the 90s. Perestroika children: what programs did we watch

As they walked, the streets were empty: everyone gathered in front of the TVs, and everyone new release then discussed for a long time

On May 30, 1994, the first episode of the Rush Hour program went on the air on Channel 1, which remained in history as one of the programs that changed our understanding of television. She almost instantly became super-rated. The host of the 20-minute program was Vlad Listiev. About how everything was, and about what other popular TV shows in the era of the 90s Russians watched without looking up from the screen - in the material of the site.

"Peak hour"

It was copied from the famous program of the scandalous American TV presenter Larry Kinga Larry King Live. The presenter talked with the guest of the program, raising, among other things, very hot topics. Vlad Listyev remained leading until his death - until March 1, 1995.

After his assassination, many assumed that the transfer would be closed, but it lasted more than three years. At one time she went out without a host, then "Rush Hour" was led by Listyev's friends. As a result, according to the results of the audience poll, the leading place was taken by Dmitry Kiselev. The last TV presenter was Andrey Razbash.

"Star Hour"

Another mega-popular project of Vlad Listyev was adored by both adults and children - on Monday, the latter even hurried home early after school in order to be in time for the start of the intellectual TV game, a kind of children's show talents - subsequently this genre will become especially in demand on domestic television.


In the spring of 1993, six months after the start of the "Star Hour", it was hosted by Sergey Suponev. The program ran until January 2002. Shortly after Suponev tragically died in a snowmobile crash, the TV show was gone - no replacement was ever found for him. They wanted to take the son of a TV presenter for the role of a new presenter Kirill but he refused.

"Up to 16 and over"

A TV show for young people appeared back in the Soviet era, on Central Television, but the peak of its popularity came precisely in the 90s, when less was said about the successes and achievements of modern youth, and more about problems. Then she went mainly in the format of a talk show with guests who were asked the most sharp questions(the format of the program changed with the country).


Many found in it the answers to the most burning questions. There was also a special section for youth in the style "About it" - intimate issues were discussed in the section "Tête-à-tête". Latest release"Under 16 and Over" aired in the summer of 2001, after which the program was sent on indefinite leave. It never ended.

"Both on!"

A popular comedy program invented by Igor Ugolnikov, Sergey Denisov and Alexey Kortnev, was born from the skits that took place in the Actor's House. Its presenters, of which, according to the concept, there were several, joked not just aptly - they joked, first of all, on topics that worried everyone. Often their humor was bitter, but never went "below the plinth", the era of obscene jokes on intimate topics on television had just started.


For the first time, "Oba-na" went on the air in November 1990 - and soon the famous story "Funeral of Food" was released, which quickly became a cult against the backdrop of empty shelves. A year later, with the departure from the project Nikolai Fomenko, the program changed its name to “Both-on! Angle show "and somewhat rebuilt the concept - not all viewers accepted new format. The program aired until December 1995. They said that Ugolnikov complained about pressure from the new management of the channel, as well as dissatisfaction with the work, and the number of internal disagreements in the team increased. As a result, the program ceased to exist.

"Dolls"

It is difficult to find a person who was already in the “conscious” age in the 90s and who had never seen “Dolls”. Then everyone was interested in politics in one way or another, from high school students to pensioners, open jokes on this topic were new to many, as well as “live caricatures”, which, in fact, were the characters of “Dolls”. Not surprisingly, the satirical TV show has a rating Vasily Grigoriev was overwhelming.


An unusual presentation, which has become the main key to success, is usually based on playing out the plots of famous literary works or historical events was born almost by accident. Shortly after the start of the program, in 1994, one of the first issues dedicated to the New Year had to be urgently changed - troops were sent to Chechnya. The creators decided to make a "screen adaptation" of Lermontov's "Hero of Our Time" - and they did not fail, soon the parodic use of classical plots became the main feature of "Dolls".

The program lasted until 2002, but the latest releases, which were filmed "on the knurled", were already far from the popularity of the releases of the 90s. By the way, the voice of many characters of the "Dolls" of that era was Sergey Bezrukov.

"Love at first sight"

Romantic game TV show hosted by Alla Volkova and Boris Kryuk It was about love and romance. It is considered the first licensed project in the history of Russian television. Its participants - young couples, answering the questions of the presenters and participating in various interactive tests, fought for the main prize - a romantic trip.


The TV show was a bit naive and very touching. "Love at First Sight" went on the air in January 1991 - and lasted up to about 8 years, after the 1998 crisis, the expensive project had to be curtailed. Subsequently, they tried to revive it several times, but to no avail.

"MuzOboz"

Started on the air in February 1991. The cult music television program of the 90s. At first, "Musical Review" went on the air as part of the Liszt "Vzglyad" - its creator and presenter, insanely stylish Ivan Demidov in unchanged black glasses was at that time the director of "Look".


Cutting from news, clips, concert performances, interview; the recipe for success was, on the one hand, simple, on the other, unique. The most important thing: “MuzOboz” was made by people who understood very well what was happening at that time in the domestic and musical culture different genres. Some spectators “dragged along” from him, others spat, but there were no indifferent ones.

Soon, Oboz had its own newspaper and magazine, and concerts began to be held under its auspices. In 1996, the concept changed, and the hosts of the show also became Otar Kushanashvili and Lera Kudryavtseva. In 1998, the program changed its name to "Obozzz-show", six months later it had a new concept: "Oboz" became a musical competition, during which the audience evaluated the performances of artists and chose the best. But either the time was already different, or the format turned out to be a failure, but the ratings began to fall - in 2000 the program was closed.

"50x50"

Those whose youth fell on the 90s remember the famous zebra-shaped screensaver of the cult informational-educational-music program as well as the screensaver from Under 16 and Older with a teenager on the runway.


The hosts of the program, which first saw the light in 1989 and became, perhaps, the most spectacular and large-scale project similar format in the 90s, were Sergey Minaev, Alexey Veselkin, Ksenia Strizh, Nikolai Fomenko and others.

The concept of the program was determined by its name: half entertainment - primarily music and competitions - and half more serious content, information about events, etc., not only music.

The guests of the program were both already well-known stars and beginners - again, fifty-fifty (by the way, that was the name of the program among the people). At the beginning of 1998, the program was closed, a few months later it went into updated format and titled "50x50. I'll Be a Star", her last episode aired in 2000.

One of distinctive features children's programs was their music. Simple, but such catchy words of intro songs are still remembered by many of us. So, speaking of the popular intellectual quiz "Star Hour", the words immediately come to mind: "Day or night, a miracle will open the door".

The program has been on the air since 1992 on Channel 1, 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 the questions at the same time as the children, bringing them extra points.

At the very beginning, the program often changed hosts, until Sergey Suponev came. He not only quickly fell in love with the audience, but also made the 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, at the memory of her, a 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, her music screensaver sounded differently: “On Saturday morning, it’s reluctant to sleep ...”.

"King of the Hill"

Another fun one sport game- 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 the "Olympus" and stand there for 30 seconds, holding on to the button and not allowing your opponents to push you.

In 2002, the program was taken off the air of 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 TV program can be safely recorded in the ranks of "long-livers". On domestic television, it lasted almost 20 years. The first episode aired in 1983. The program was devoted to the problems of modern youth, which, by the way, are still relevant today: drugs, alcohol, sex, conflicts in the family and with peers, etc.

"Through the mouth of a baby"

“Through the mouth of a baby” is perhaps the cutest. The rules are pretty simple: children explain what, in their opinion, this or that word means, and adults guess this word.

The show 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 kids".

"Call Cuze"

“Kuzma, I’m watching you”, “Hey, buddy, we’ll lose so quickly!”, “Laughter with laughter, but a cobblestone drove over me” - remember? Anyone who grew up in the 90s can easily recognize quotes from the popular Call Kuza program 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 got on the air. Using the buttons of the telephone set, the children controlled Kuzey in the game, helping him save his family, which was kidnapped by the witch Scylla.

We couldn't pass up this adventure show. It was usually watched by the whole family, including children. And how can one pass by when there are brave participants in front of their eyes, who ended up in an ancient fortress surrounded by water.

In order to guess the code word and open the treasury, they had to collect keys and clues by going into rooms where there were snakes, spiders, or even something scarier. The color of the show was added by a mysterious old man with riddles.

25 years ago we did not have so many cinemas and entertainment centers, as it is now, so TV shows were a favorite way to have fun.

We especially liked TV quizzes, competitions and contests. You could not only watch them, but also cheer for the participants you liked. Some programs are loved by the people so much that they are still being shown.

Love at first sight

Three guys and three girls answer tricky questions from the TV hosts, but only one couple wins the grand prize at the end. This romantic show existed on the RTR channel for 8 years and was so popular that a few years later other TV channels repeatedly tried to revive it. But they failed to repeat the success of the original transmission.

Brain ring

Once Vladimir Voroshilov had an idea: what if we come up with a program similar to his own “What? Where? When?” but with two teams? After some time, he realized his plan, and the people fell in love with the game so much that they began to release it regularly. Intellectual battles of teams, where the time for answering questions was limited, literally riveted all honest people to the screens.

finest hour

This fascinating program existed on television for 10 years and took place in the format of an intellectual game, and its host was Sergey Suponev, who, like no one else, knew how to find a common language with children. Unfortunately, after the tragic death of Sergei, the program was closed. The producers could not find a worthy replacement for him.

Lucky case

This TV quiz was a great success with family people, because it was possible to take part in it with the whole family. The program was shown for a very long time, and was closed for an absurd reason. The company that owned the rights to the transfer decided to release a board game based on it. But the print quality turned out to be so low that the rating of the entire program began to fall.

From the mouth of a baby

Married couples took part in this funny game. They were divided into teams and for a limited period of time tried to figure out how to more puzzles. And little kids asked them riddles, which was very cute and exciting.

Guess the melody

The host checks the musical literacy of the participants and evaluates it at the rate of the Central Bank of Russia. This game was repeatedly closed, but our viewers are so passionate about music that the program is constantly being revived. A notable feature of the program is that a live orchestra plays in the studio.

call of the jungle

To the merry music among the bright scenery, the children enthusiastically ran, jumped, climbed, and our beloved Sergey Suponev commanded this parade. The game was like Fun starts” with bright prizes, in which two teams of schoolchildren participated. The children were fond of her for 9 years, until she suffered the same sad fate as the program "Fine Hour".

L club

The transmission was invented by Leonid Yarmolnik and named after him. Leonid recalls that he conceived it as an educational and entertaining one, he was going to show the audience the whole world. But in the end, I got carried away with another project and abandoned it. But we remembered for a long time how the logo of the TV company BID at the end of the program turned into the face of Yarmolnik and showed his tongue.

Two pianos

In this musical program, two teams competed with each other, each of which necessarily included a pianist. Who guessed more songs - he won. The program was not broadcast for a very long time, but won a certain number of fans. Unfortunately, it is no longer shown at the moment.

Field of Dreams

This legendary show came to us from America, but thanks to the wonderful and charming manner of communication of Leonid Yakubovich, it gained popularity much more than the original in its time. Rarely what program can boast of such popular love. After all, participants have been guessing words, winning prizes and exchanging various amazing gifts with Yakubovich for 25 years.

This transfer was almost the only reason why it ceased to be unbearable.

AT intellectual game six teams fought, consisting of a schoolboy and his relative. In the first and third rounds, it was necessary to raise the plates with the correct answers. In the second - cubes with letters fell from the pipe, then it was necessary to make a word out of them.

In the final, the two best players met. Their task was to make as many small words as possible from one long one. And in the end, the winner received incredible gifts for a child of the 90s: a music center, a VCR or other equipment that one could only dream of.

The presenter Sergei Suponev added points to the Starry Hour.

2. "Dolls"

The satirical program was not at all childish, despite the title. For the show, dolls were made caricatured like politicians and famous people that time.

The program talked about current events, often weaving them into classic stories like Lermontov's Hero of Our Time.

3. "Under 16 and over"

During its existence, the program has transformed from a TV magazine into a talk show. Here, almost for the first time on television, they began to raise the problems of young people in a language they understand.

4. Call of the Jungle

“Wednesday evening after dinner…” or “Saturday morning, I don't want to sleep” - it doesn't matter what time this call sign sounds. We know for sure that you need to be strong and courageous, dexterous, skillful, and then the jungle will call you. The screensaver of the program was edited 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 the panda and koala.

5. "MuzOboz"

"Musical Review" was conducted by Ivan Demidov, invariably appearing before the audience in black glasses. The program talked about fashion, and it was a program that had no analogues - a kind of MTV, locked in the half-hour frame of MuzOboz.

6. "Lego-go!"

As the name implies, the roots of the program are advertising, but was it really interesting for young viewers in the 90s. The program was similar to Call of the Jungle, only all the competitions were associated with Lego figures, both small and huge. And the main prize looked like a miracle at all, 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 on the air. True, for the majority, 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 device is available, and even that is with the neighbors.

8. "New Reality"

Another sponsored show filled with children's unfulfilled hopes. Presenter Sergey Suponev talked about games for Dendy, GameBoy, Super Nintendo and Sega Mega Drive.

9. "Pun"

The long fall of the Broiler-747 aircraft, the village of fools, the secret tank of the First World War and other cross-cutting plots were remembered immediately because of simple jokes, reaching to clowning, and vivid images of heroes.

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 humorous show. Together with Yuri Stoyanov, he filmed sketches on different topics. A special section was reserved for pranks with a hidden camera.

11. "Love at first sight"

The TV game, which instantly went to the people and was repeated, probably, at all school lights and evenings. Three guys and three girls first met in the studio of the program. After the first round in which they met, they had to choose one of the three opposite. Couples whose choice coincided continued to fight for victory.

By the way, then the braces were more flexible, because a new pair could immediately win for two.

12. "Fights of Gladiators"

The international show International Gladiators 1 in Russia came out 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 prepared gladiators.

From Russia, four contestants and four gladiators participated in the show. Among the latter are Vladimir Turchinsky and Sergey Ruban.

13. "Lucky chance"

There was little entertainment in this intellectual family quiz, but in the 90s this was not required. 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 strong family from at least four people, and in the glamorous TV presenter we will see ensign Zadov.

15. "Gold Rush"

This game does not immediately pop up in your head when you start thinking about the show of the 90s, but the memory is well refreshed by the main prize - 1 kg.

The host Leonid Yarmolnik moved around inside the huge cage while the players were answering 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. Participants - a man and a woman - completed the tasks, and if they did not cope, they had to remove a piece of clothing from themselves. The loser usually ended up wearing only shorts 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 going on, but we are reviewing the recordings from the 90s, for example, with Mark Amodeo.

18. "My own director"

The broadcast, filled with amateur video, was at its peak, when most viewers could only dream of a camera. The program is being released even now, however, if it is available, it is not at all based on rollers.

This is a kind of club, already more homely atmosphere: there are several million viewers who watch this program - they are, they are not becoming more or less. These are people who get up on Sunday at half past seven in the morning, turn on the TV and watch the program.

Alexey Lysenkov, presenter

19. "From the screw"

The program changed the channel several times, but the audience 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 cope with the tasks. However, the rules did not prohibit the owner from passing the obstacle course instead. Usually the fabric tunnel became the main obstacle for the tetrapods.

The scores were set by the jury, and the most intelligent dogs did not always win. Sometimes it was enough for the dog to be touchingly stupid and the owner to be charming.

And what programs from the 90s do you remember?
