Hi all!)
Nostalgia is a powerful thing after all! I accidentally came across my favorite children's show "Call of the Jungle" on the Internet and away we go...

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. And despite the foreign origin of the game, the program with the participation of this funny troll was very much loved in our country.

In the end, I just wanted to remember the logo of the TV company "BID".
Here's the story of how this logo came about:
Alexander Lyubimov (one of the founders of the independent television company " VID»):
"We wanted the symbol to be alive, then everyone was carried away computer graphics, but we wanted a living artifact. We thought about MGM, where the lion cub roars, but we didn’t want animals, we wanted a symbol. And the east is rich in all sorts of symbols..."
Especially for this, Andrei Razbash (one of the founders of the independent television company “VID”) went to the Museum of Oriental Art for help from Vladislav Listyev’s future wife Albina Nazimova, who at that time worked there as a restorer. From the options she proposed, Razbash chose the ceramic head of the ancient Chinese Taoist philosopher Guo Xiang with a three-legged toad on his head. Among people who have not studied the issue of the appearance of the mask, it is widely believed that the mask is very similar to Yeltsin’s face. In different eastern cultures this symbol is interpreted differently: somewhere it symbolized spiritual wealth, somewhere - power, and somewhere - financial wealth.
That's all, actually. Of course, I haven’t listed all children’s programs here. Mostly only those that I watched and remember. Therefore, write in the comments what programs you watched as a child, or maybe which you simply remember, but are not on my list. Thank you for your attention! Have a good mood everyone!)))

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.

Mask Show
“Maski Show” is a humorous television series produced by the Odessa comedy troupe “Maski” in the style of silent films. Country of origin: Ukraine (1991-2006).
This program was almost the only reason why it ceased to be unbearable.
IN intellectual game Six teams consisting of a schoolboy and his relative fought. 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 create as many small words 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 bright images 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 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 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 bonds were more flexible, because the new couple could immediately win for two.
12. “Gladiator Fights”
International International show Gladiators 1 was released in Russia with commentary 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 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?
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. In the first issue - vivid examples"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 what had already become at that time legendary program“600 Seconds” (as we know, built on the acute social schemes of “corpse-popik-philharmonic” and “bastards-prostitutes-radiation”), Alexander Nevzorov finally cemented his all-Russian fame as the most radical (if not frostbitten) television 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, entirely consisting of insane texture and endless emphasis on shock content (as Alexander Glebovich himself sneered, “it’s not enough for a corpse to hang in the frame - Let's rock him 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 “Time” presenter, and, finally, the famous author's program- a real nail bomb of the ether, 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, it’s 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 rising star Sergei Suponev, no matter how banal it may sound, amazed me with his absolutely amazing warmth and sincerity. Beloved by children of the 90s, “Finest Hour” and “Dandy - a new reality” came directly from “Marathon-15” and were famous for precisely that: 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 horrors - innocent construction snow town in the frame, suddenly, completely unexpectedly, it could taxi to 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"
Resonant TV hit new Russia, which grew out of a simple idea to set up 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 of 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).
A rather characteristic modern detail: in the inter-program segments of the children's TV channel "Carousel" Yakubovich is already called nothing more than "Grandfather Lenya" (and even Pozner is also "Uncle Vova", even though he is 11 years older) - and this does not add optimism to Leonid himself Arkadyevich, nor you and me.
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 Show”, “Dolls”, “Caution Modern”, “ Windows", "Empire of Passion", "Nails", "Program A"
