What programs in the USSR were popular


Television in the Soviet Union was not colored orblack and white. It was mostly gray. But the more vividly looked on this faceless background are not many TV programs that the Soviet TV audience really liked.



"Zucchini 13 chairs"


By today's standards, Soviet televisionwas a rather sad picture. And it's not a ridiculous number of television channels (in most places it was only a long time), and not in the absence of fancy TV studios and bright special effects, but rather in the ideology of all the Soviet media. And yet, the favorite popular TV shows from Soviet people were. This can be borne out by the fact that some popular TV programs, from the Soviet past, can still be seen on Russian television channels. This is a game show "What? Where? When? ", Children's" Good night kids, "student KVN, musical" Morning Mail "and" Song of the Year. "

Humorous and youth

Great popularity was enjoyed in the SovietUnion humorous television programs. Probably the most rating of them was the transfer of "Kabachok 13 chairs". Participation in it of such popular actors as Andrei Mironov, Spartak Mishulin, Olga Aroseva, Zinovy ​​Vysokovsky, created the atmosphere of such a television miniature theater. They say that the transfer was very much loved by the General Secretary Brezhnev himself. A good success among viewers was and such a fun program, "Around the laughter." Conducted by its famous parody poet Alexander Ivanov. But the most popular satirical writers have appeared in it, to this day: Mikhail Zadornov, Arkady Arkanov, Semyon Altov and others. The young TV programs "And now the girls!" And "Come on, the guys!" Collected a multi-million audience of television viewers from television screens. Their participants (ordinary Soviet girls and ordinary Soviet guys) competed in various competitions throughout the entire program. All of them were, of course, very beautiful and charming. And, despite the youth orientation, these Soviet "TV shows" were watched by people of all age categories.

Bandstand on Soviet TV air

But the music programs with the participation of Sovietthere were not so many performers at all. Weekly "Morning mail" and the monthly "Song of the Year" - that's probably all. There were attempts to create other variety genre programs, but they existed, as a rule, they did not enjoy much success. As for the foreign variety performers, they were assigned one forty-monthly program "Melodies and rhythms of the foreign stage". Acted in it, however, mostly representatives of fraternal socialist countries, but Boni M and ABBO could sometimes see. Separately it is worth noting the New Year's "Blue Light." For Soviet people, it was as indispensable as the New Year's attribute, like Soviet champagne or Olivier salad. For several hours in a row, TV viewers congratulated the New Year and entertained the best domestic pop singers. With the beginning of the restructuring in the USSR, new, unprecedented, popular TV programs have significantly increased. But it was a completely different story.
