Who leads the good night little ones. "Good night, kids!": the best presenters. Puppet show characters

In those distant times, when television was the only source of visual communication with the outside world, these women were met in every home as the closest people. Many of them have changed a lot. Some are no longer alive.

Angelina Vovk (72 years old)

The first association with the name of this TV presenter is the Song of the Year festival, the broadcast of which was not missed in any family. In the 80s, Angelina Vovk hosted the program “Good night, kids!”. In those days, the children's program was going through hard times: higher authorities demanded that Khryusha be removed from the program - they say, why should a small pig teach Soviet children. Aunt Lina convinced the management that without Piggy, broadcasting was impossible.

Tatyana Vedeneeva (61 years old)

Graduated from GITIS. Even while studying in the first year of the institute, she first appeared in films. In 1975, Vedeneeva played in two films - "Hello, I'm your aunt", "We didn't go through this." She worked at the Mayakovsky Theater. She made her debut as a host of night broadcasts. The programs “Good night, kids”, “Visiting a fairy tale”, for which Tatyana Vedeneeva was remembered, did not go to her right away. The children's programs were followed by the Morning program.

Larisa Verbitskaya (55 years old)

In 1987, Larisa became one of the first presenters of the nascent morning broadcast. Today, Larisa Verbitskaya is the only TV presenter on Russian television who has worked in the same program for more than 20 years.

Svetlana Morgunova (75 years old)

Over a long career on television, Morgunova managed to work in different genres: she hosted the Vremya program, introduced viewers to the TV program guide. But it was the releases of Blue Light that brought glory to Morgunova. Together with the popular presenter, more than one generation of viewers met the New Year.

Tatyana Chernyaeva (72 years old)

She has worked at Central Television since 1970, when she took the position of assistant director. In 1975, Chernyaeva became the host of the new children's program "ABVGDeika" and subsequently combined this work with the position of head of the editorial board of children's programs. She said that ABVGDeika is the only non-politicized program on Soviet television.

Anna Shatilova (76 years old)

She got on TV by chance - while studying at the philological faculty of the Pedagogical Institute, she saw an advertisement for the recruitment of announcers of the All-Union Radio and decided to take part in it. In 1962, Shatilova was admitted to the Central Television of the USSR. Yuri Levitan himself was Shatilova's mentor. For many years she hosted the main information program of the country - "Time".

Tatyana Sudets (67 years old)

On TV since October 1972. A popular presenter, she worked in the announcer department of the Central Television. She hosted the programs: “Time”, “Blue Light”, “Skillful Hands”, “More Good Goods”, “Our Address is the Soviet Union”, “Song of the Year”, “Good Night, Kids!”.

Valentina Leontieva

She worked at Central Television for 35 years - from 1954 to 1989. Valentina Leontyeva became the first host of the Good Night, Kids! program. The children called her Aunt Valya, and her parents "all-Union mother", because she "put to bed" all the children of the Soviet country. Since 1976, Leontieva hosted the most popular children's program "Visiting a fairy tale." The TV presenter died in 2007 at the age of 83.

Julia Belyanchikova

Yulia Vasilievna hosted one of the first programs on medical topics on domestic TV - the popular science program "Health". Moreover, by profession she is not an artist or a TV presenter at all, but a doctor. She remained the permanent host of the program for over twenty years. During this time, the flow of letters for transmission has grown from 60,000 a year to 160,000. Yulia Belyanchikova died at the age of 70 in 2011

As it became known, in the near future the program "Good night, kids!" will be included in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest existing children's program in the world. It is not surprising, because even now we all remember this program and remember its characters with warmth. It is so?

The program has been in existence since September 1964. She almost never stopped going on the air and has always been popular. It is watched by the third generation
The history of the birth of the program "Good night, kids!" Originates in 1963, when the editor-in-chief of the editorial office of programs for children and youth, Valentina Ivanovna Fedorova, while in the GDR, saw an animated series that told about the adventures of a sandman. This is how the idea to create an evening program for children in our country appeared. On September 1, 1964, its first issue was released. The first splash screen was black and white. The screen saver depicted a watch with moving hands. Then the program did not have a constant release time, and the author of the intro, artist Irina Vlasova, each time set the time again

Alexander Kurlyandsky, Eduard Uspensky, Andrey Usachev, Roman Sef and others took part in the creation of the program. The program was conceived as "A Bedtime Story". And immediately the program had its own voice, its own unique song “Tired Toys Are Sleeping”, which lulls the kids. The music for the lullaby was written by the composer Arkady Ostrovsky, the lyrics by the poetess Zoya Petrova, and the lullaby was performed by Oleg Anofriev, a little later by Valentina Tolkunova

Screensaver became colored in the late 70s

The screensaver in the form of a plasticine cartoon was made by Alexander Tatarsky

In the late 80s, the intro and lullaby changed for a while. Instead of a TV and toys sitting around it, a drawn garden and birds appeared. New song "Sleep, my joy, sleep..." (music by B. Flis, Russian text by S. Sviridenko) performed by Elena Kamburova

The creators of the program argued for a long time about the name. There were several options: “Evening Tale”, “Good Night”, “Bedtime Tale”, “Visiting the Magic Man Tick-Tock”. But on the eve of the first broadcast, they decided the name of the program was found: “Good night, kids!”

The first releases of the program were in the form of pictures with voice-over text. Then puppet shows and small plays appeared, in which the artists of the Moscow Art Theater and the Theater of Satire played.

Pinocchio and Tepa the hare, Shustrik and Myamlik puppets took part in the puppet shows. In addition, the participants of the program were children aged 4-6 and theater actors who told fairy tales

On February 20, 1968, the most important event in the history of the Transmission took place - the first, albeit Czech, cartoon "NUT" was shown. And then the Nut doll was made. After watching the cartoon, the main character appeared in the studio. It was a new fairy element. The hero of the cartoon miraculously appears and begins to communicate. However, none of the first heroes did not last long, as they did not receive real adoration from the audience. And only in September 1968, the first, legendary and still existing participant, the dog Filya, joins the line of characters. Its prototype was the BRAVNI DOG, which had been gathering dust in a puppet warehouse for a long time. The first actor to voice Filya was Grigory Tolchinsky. He liked to joke: “I will retire, I will publish the book“ Twenty years under the skirt of Aunt Valya. Today's voice of Fili is actor Sergei Grigoriev

Surprisingly, Filya is not the first dog. A couple of years earlier there was already a character, the dog Kuzya. But apparently the character of Kuzi somehow failed, unlike the good-natured and intelligent Fili. Then, beloved by many, Uncle Volodya appeared on the screens with the bunny Tepa and the dog Chizhik

On February 10, 1971, next to Aunt Valya Leontyeva, a piggy Khryusha appeared in the studio. A naughty piggy child is constantly naughty, gets into different stories and learns from his own mistakes. He owes his charm to Natalya Derzhavina, whose voice he spoke until 2002. Until the moment when a wonderful actress passed away

In 1974, in August, STEPASHKA was “born”, a kind of opposite to Khryusha. Obedient inquisitive bunny, very diligent, polite and reasonable.

Stepashka is voiced by Natalya Golubentseva. The actress in life often uses the voice of her character. Hearing it, even strict traffic cops become kind before their eyes, and forget about the fine. The actress got along with Stepashka so much that she pasted a photo together with him into her certificate of the honored artist

In 1982, KARKUSHA appeared in the program, the only girl who took root in the program and fell in love with the audience. For a very long time they could not pick up the character of Karkusha. Many actresses who auditioned for the role could not get used to the image of a funny crow until Gertrude Sufimova appeared in Good Night. And it was already impossible to imagine another Karkusha ... When in 1998, at the age of 72, the actress died, the crow settled on the hand of actress Galina Marchenko

In 1984, Mishutka was introduced into the main cast of the famous four: Fili, Khryushi, Stepashki and Karkusha.

And the heroes of the program were the cat Tsap-Tsarapych

Pinocchio

The characters had difficult relationships, conflicts and unresolved questions to the world. The hosts answered these questions: Aunt Valya, Aunt Tanya, Aunt Lina, Aunt Sveta, Uncle Volodya and Uncle Yura

When peace was restored and issues were resolved, the children were rewarded with a cartoon. So Krzhmelik and Vakhmurka, Lelek and Bolek, the dog Rex and the mole burst into our lives.

When in the early 80s it was decided to replace the dolls with people, there was no limit to the indignation of millions of viewers, and two months later the dolls took their usual places. In its long screen life, Good Night has experienced all sorts of times. Most often, the clouds gathered over Piggy, and for the most unexpected reasons. For example, one day the Gosteleradio board asked why all the dolls in the program blink, but Piggy does not.

Attributed to the program and political "sabotage". Allegedly, when the famous trip of Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev to America took place, the cartoon "The Traveling Frog" was urgently removed from the air. When Mikhail Gorbachev came to power, they did not recommend showing a cartoon about the bear Mishka, who never finished the job he started. But the broadcasters think it's all a coincidence.

Currently, the hosts are Anna Mikhalkova, Oksana Fedorova, Andrey Grigoriev-Appolonov and Dmitry Malikov

And five friends live in a toy house in Ostankino: Filya, Stepashka, Khryusha, Karkusha and Mishutka. Each of them has its own story.

Our little pig Piggy is the soul of the company. He is very inquisitive: he is interested in everything. Who is the master of asking questions! He is the first inventor: almost all tricks and pranks are the work of Piggy's paws. Not a single prank can do without it. How fun to be a little naughty! Our Piggy does not really like to clean up and put things in order. But together with friends, he is ready to move mountains, and not just clean his room. Piggy loves everything sweet: the best gift for him is a kilogram or two of sweets, a few bars of chocolate and a large jar of jam. Karkusha sometimes gets a little angry with Piggy: after all, eating a lot of sweets is harmful! But Piggy says that sweets help him in his creativity. Our Piggy is a famous poet. Usually inspiration comes to him after he eats sweets. At least that's what he says.

Stepashka
In 1974, small viewers first met Stepashka.

Stepashka has a carrot growing on the window. But only for the love of art. After all, Stepashka loves nature very much and often goes to the forest with Mishutka. And Stepashka even sketches the most beautiful landscapes. He really wants to become a real artist and therefore works hard. Stepashka's drawings are very popular with his friends, especially if he draws their portrait. Stepashka loves to dream. Often all friends gather together in one room and listen to Stepashka. After all, dreaming is so interesting! True, Khryusha and Filya run away, but only in order to immediately begin to act and realize Stepashka's wildest dreams. Stepashka is a very good friend: he can be trusted with any secret, and rest assured, Stepashka will not tell anyone anything.

Phil
Filya is an old-timer of the Good Night, Kids! program. Its appearance dates back to 1968.

Here's who is the most well-read! Sometimes you think that Phil knows everything, everything in the world! Or at least wants to know. Fili's room is always in order: books and textbooks lie in an even pile on the shelf, all the toys are in their places. Phil loves music very much. He even thought of taking part in a music competition, but remembered that he could not play any musical instrument. But that's just for now. He is a very responsible and serious dog. If he promised something, he will certainly fulfill it. He sings very well. And who knows, maybe soon we will see Filya on stage!

Karkusha
Karkusha became a regular participant in the program in 1982.

The only girl in our company. Karkusha is sure that these boys need an eye and an eye! Look, they'll learn something. This is where it will appear and everything will fall into place. You also need to be able to play pranks so that no one is offended: this is what Karkusha thinks. She loves bright ribbons, bows and jewelry. Well, that's why she's a girl. And Karkusha cooks wonderfully. The favorite dish of all friends is a signature cake. True, Piggy always strives to take a larger piece, but this number will not work with Karkusha. She also loves to be complimented. All friends are happy to tell Karkusha what a wonderful, beautiful and smart crow she is. There are no such places anywhere else!

bear
The little bear Mishutka appeared on the screen in 2002.

Previously, before meeting with friends, Mishutka lived in the forest. He still has a small hut, where he keeps part of his supplies and tools. Mishutka loves sports very much, and every morning she does exercises with our friends. After all, all babies should be strong and healthy. Mishutka loves to craft. There is a special corner in his room where Mishutka spends hours poring over his creations. Oh, what crafts come out of Mishutkin's skillful paws! One day, Karkusha's favorite locker broke down. What do you think, Mishutka instantly made a new one, more beautiful than the old one, and now Karkusha is not overjoyed at him. Mishutka often does not understand many things, because life in the forest is very different from life in the city. The little bear goes to Phil for help, and his friend is always happy to help him. Sometimes Mishutka starts to miss her forest. And then he leaves for a few days. But will definitely come back. Because his friends and kids are waiting for him, who watch the program "Good night, kids!" every evening.

"GOOG night kids!"- Soviet and Russian evening TV show for children of preschool and primary school age. The program has been released since September 1, 1964. From November 26, 1963, an active period of creating the program begins - the first scripts are written, sketches of scenery and puppets of the main characters appear, the idea and concept of a children's TV show are being developed.

Transmission history

The program began to appear on the Second Program of the Central Television of the USSR. The idea of creating the program appeared after Valentina Fedorova, editor-in-chief of the editorial board of programs for children and youth, visited the GDR, where she saw a cartoon about a sandman (Sandmännchen). Alexander Kurlyandsky, Eduard Uspensky, Roman Sef and others took part in the creation of the program. The creators of the program argued for a long time about the name. There were several options: “Evening Tale”, “Good Night”, “Bedtime Tale”, “Visiting the Magic Man Tick-Tock”. But on the eve of the first broadcast, the program found a name: “Good night, kids!”.

The first releases were performed in the form of pictures with off-screen text. Then puppet shows and small plays appeared, in which artists from the Moscow Art Theater and the Theater of Satire played. Pinocchio and Tyopa the hare (the first characters of the program), Shustrik and Myamlik puppets (the puppets were made in the theater of Sergei Obraztsov) acted in puppet shows. In addition, children of 4-6 years old and theater actors who told them fairy tales became participants in the program.

Later, other puppet characters appeared - the dog Filya, the bunny Stepashka, the pig Khryusha, the crow Karkusha, the cat Tsap Tsarapych, the hedgehog Chuchunya, the boy Eroshka, Pinocchio and others (they were voiced by the actors of the puppet theater Obraztsova, among them: Grigory Tolchinsky - Filya, Natalya Derzhavina - Khryusha, Natalia Golubentseva - Stepashka), and the presenters were Vladimir Ukhin, Valentina Leontieva, Angelina Vovk, Tatiana Sudets, Tatiana Vedeneeva, Yuri Nikolaev and others. The program gained its greatest popularity in the first half of the 1970s. A TV show at that time was a small interlude, usually on a moral and educational topic, and a cartoon show. Over the years, the directors Isaac Magiton, Iosif Bader, Pyotr Sosedov, cameramen Alexander Fuks, Dmitry Gutorin and others worked on the program. After the death of Leonid Brezhnev in 1982, the program did not go on the air for one day, November 11. During the days of mourning, several issues were released that Aunt Valya Leontyeva spent with one character - Fillya. In these issues, the cartoon "The Enchanted Boy" was shown. After the funeral of the first General Secretary, a creative crisis hung over the program, and puppet characters were banned from being used on the air. All the days until the death of Yuri Andropov, and then Konstantin Chernenko, the announcers broadcast alone, without puppet characters. At this time, bags of letters began to come from the guys to the editorial office with a request to return their beloved Khryusha and Stepashka to the screens. With Mikhail Gorbachev coming to power, all puppet characters returned to the air again. In 1986, the program went beyond the studio. Filming was carried out in the circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard, the puppet theater Obraztsov, where performances of "Puss in Boots", "By Pike" and "Merry Bears" were shown at the Theater of Animals named after Durov. Also, the Moscow Zoo became the main shooting location. Filming took place in other locations outside the studio. In 1987, four issues of The Jolly Dwarf were released, which were held by Ekaterina and Vyacheslav Troyan.

From 1964 to 1991, the State Radio and Television of the USSR was engaged in the production of the program. In the fall of 1991, the Children's Edition moved from Shabolovka to Ostankino. At the same time, a creative crisis loomed over the program again: they threatened to close it, but thanks to numerous letters from viewers, the program was still able to be restored, but in a slightly modified form: in early January 1992, it moved from the “second button” to the 1st channel Ostankino and began to be produced by the television company VID together with the RGTRK Ostankino. Since 1994, the Good Night, Kids! began to be produced by the non-state television company “Class! ". In 1995, the program changed the hosts: the old cast was first replaced by Yuri Grigoriev, as well as the clowning and cat theater artist Yuri Kuklachev, who broadcast alone, without characters and conducted a theme with cats. Later, in one of the episodes, he led already with one of the characters (Piggy). In the spring of 1996, Yulia Pustovoitova and Dmitry Khaustov appeared, in 1998 the magician Hmayak Akopyan appeared. Since 1995, the program has been periodically released in several studios. Also on the air of the program was the program “Vesela Kvampaniya Quartet”, which also aired as an independent program at about 16:00.

On June 29, 2001, the last episode of the program was released on the ORT channel, after which, due to underfunding, in September 2001 the program moved to the Kultura channel. However, due to the fact that this channel was not broadcast in all regions of Russia, on March 4, 2002, she moved to RTR (now Russia-1), and Anna Mikhalkova became the new host, and a new character Mishutka (of the same name the character was also in the 1980s, it was used in case of replacing the main puppet characters). In 2003, the former presenters left the program - first Yuri Grigoriev and Grigory Gladkov, then Hmayak Akopyan, Yulia Pustovoitova and Dmitry Khaustov. Oksana Fedorova and Viktor Bychkov became the new presenters after Mikhalkova. In 2012, Viktor Bychkov left the program. After some time, he was replaced by singer Dmitry Malikov. On January 7, 2014, a program dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the program was shown. Since June 2, 2014, the program has been broadcast on the Kultura TV channel.

In October 2014, the first 3D character of the program was expected to appear - Moore the tiger cub, the prototype of the endangered Amur tiger. The ideological inspirer of the new hero of the program was the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, who heads a special project to protect the Amur tiger. This was told by Alexander Mitroshenkov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the television company "Class!".

Since September 1, 2016, the program “Good morning, kids!” has been released on the Karusel TV channel. Presenters - Anton Zorkin, Olga Mirimskaya, Anna Mikhalkova, Nikolai Valuev, Marina Yakovleva and Sergey Belov. In the screen saver of the program, a song performed by Sergey Shnurov sounds.

Show screensaver and song

The first screen saver, which appeared in 1964, was black and white. The screen saver depicted a watch with moving hands. Then the program did not have a constant release time, and the author of the intro, artist Irina Vlasova, each time set the time anew. In the late 1970s, the screen saver became colored.
The music for the song “Tired toys are sleeping” was written by composer Arkady Ostrovsky. Poems - poetess Zoya Petrova, performers - Valentina Dvoryaninova, then - Valentina Tolkunova and Oleg Anofriev. The song was performed against the background of a screensaver depicting a little girl, a bear, a squirrel and a clock. In 1981, a splash screen was made in the form of a plasticine cartoon, created by Alexander Tatarsky. Every day of the week, the opening screensaver was different - viewers were added to the TV from Monday to Sunday (on Monday - only a girl, on Sunday there are already six toys with her). Also every day, different objects turned into a month and then into a bell.
In 1988, a screen saver was used, which was also created by the director Mstislav Kuprach at the TO "Screen". It used "Lullaby" from the movie "Circus" (composer Isaak Dunaevsky) performed by Tamara Milashkina. The main characters were the Sun, the Month, the Astronaut Boy. The intro did not last long, most likely due to its length (3:13).
In 1991-1992, the opening screensaver was similar to the classic one, but was modernized: white stars were added, a white moon was added, the screensaver itself was purple. At the end, instead of a lullaby, they showed successive pictures of falling asleep cartoon characters, and in one of them, the “falling asleep” dog Filya was shown. The screensavers were accompanied by advertisements from the sponsor - the Moscow Commodity Exchange.
At the end of 1986, the intro and lullaby song changed. Instead of a TV and toys sitting around it, a drawn garden and birds appeared, which were on the hat of a kind sorceress. This screensaver was popularly called "dark". Elena Kamburova sang the lullaby “Sleep, my joy, sleep…”, which was previously performed in the cartoon “The Right Remedy”, music by Bernard Fleece (English) Russian, previously erroneously attributed to Mozart, to the words of a German lullaby. "Das Wiegenlied" (German) "Schlafe, mein Prinzchen, schlaf ein", literally: “Sleep, my little prince, fall asleep”) from the play “Esther” 1795 by F.V. Gotter, Russian text by S. Sviridenko. The screensaver appeared in 1986, but was used later, directed by Vladimir Samsonov. This screen saver until 1994 was shown along with the classic "Tired Toys Sleep". The Merry Dwarf issue shown in 1987 used a screensaver created by Mstislav Kuprac, and Mr. Buckley (Vyacheslav Troyan) and his faithful friend, the cheerful dwarf Tick-Tock (Ekaterina Troyan) came up with their own lullaby. (frames of the screen saver “Sleep, my joy, sleep” were shown in mirror image).
In 1991-1995, before and after the start of the program, a screensaver appeared in the form of a blue background depicting the night sky, on which white stars of various sizes were depicted. In 1994, the classic plasticine intro returned, and it was shown on different backgrounds - red, yellow, orange, pink or blue, and the introductory music was slightly processed.
At the end of December 1994, in the New Year's edition of Good Night, Kids! the screen saver changed again: cloud figures (a horse, a bear, etc.) appeared in the sky, and the musical accompaniment at the beginning and end was the song “Sleep Fairy” performed by Svetlana Lazareva. The appearance of a new intro and song was presented as a New Year's gift to children from the heroes of the program.
The replacement of the song provoked protests from some viewers, and as a result, after a few weeks, the new screensaver began to alternate with the old one, and in the summer of 1997 it was replaced by a drawn screensaver with music from Tatarsky's plasticine screensaver with the following plot: a clock appears against the background of the starry sky, in which the angular numbers serve as bells; then a door opens in the clock and a long room appears, along which a red carpet creeps, and doors open; before the last door opens, the crawling of the carpet pauses, and only then Karkusha unties the ribbon and the door opens - here the transmission begins. At the end, a video for the song “Tired Toys Are Sleeping” is shown, which describes how the characters of the program go to bed. The credits appear after the clip. This screen saver was also made by the Pilot animation studio, the director of the screen saver is Valery Kachaev. .
In the autumn of 1999, another screensaver appeared, in which there was a hare ringing a bell (author - Yuri Norshtein). The change of the screen saver again caused a number of complaints from the viewers - the hare had terrible eyes and teeth.
In September 2001, after the program moved from Channel One to Kultura, the 1997 screensaver with a carpet returned to the air, since Norshtein's screensaver was the property of Channel One and could not be used on the Kultura channel.
After moving to RTR in March 2002, the screensaver with Tatarsky's plasticine cartoon returned (which had not been on the air since 1996), but the screensaver was slightly modified with the help of computer graphics: clouds were completed on the computer, a month in boots and other details and appears at the end the name of the program. Also in the closing screensaver, the clouds formed into letters - “Good night, kids!”
In the period from autumn 2006 to June 19, 2014, the screensaver of the Good Night, Kids! sample of 2002 was used in a slightly modernized version: the name of the program at the end of the splash screen was removed and the details were left.
Since June 23, 2014, the screensaver has become closer to the screensaver of the Soviet period - the blue background has been replaced by red, blue, orange, etc. The name of the program and clouds in the screensaver was not from June 23 to September 11, 2014 (appeared on September 15, 2014) , the screen saver of the TV company producing the program “Class! ".

Parodies

In the early 1990s, the Vesyolye Rebyata program showed a small parody of Good Night, Kids, in which the presenter (Sergei Shustitsky) and dolls named Kondraty and Kondrashka took part (perhaps an allusion to the well-known expressions “enough kondraty "And" kondrashka is enough").
In 1997-1999, in the program "Gentleman Show" on ORT, the heading "Good night, adults" was published, in which puppets of "grown up" characters of "Good night, kids!" Participated. Piggy was presented in the form of a "new Russian" in a red jacket and dark glasses, with impudent manners and bore the name Khryak Ivanovich. The program also included: Karkusha (Karkunya Markovna) - an old communist woman, Stepashka (Stepan Innokentevich) - a poor intellectual, Filya (Philip Filippovich) - a drunken watchman.
In KVN, the team showed a parody of the program.
In 2001, the writer Leonid Kaganov wrote the story “News about the SNM TV channel (Good night, kids!)” (possibly an allusion to the events around the NTV channel).
The contrast of the “bad boy” Khryusha and the “good boy” Stepashka inspired the creators of the satirical program “Extinguish the Light” to create parodies of them: Khryun Morzhov and Stepan Kapusta, respectively. Phil and Mishutka also took part in the program, becoming Philip Sharikov and Genka's neighbor.
The Big Difference program parodied the program four times. In the first parody of the Good Night, Kids! it was shown how it would be hosted by various presenters: Dana Borisova, Mikhail Leontiev, Edward Radzinsky, Vladimir Pozner, etc. In the second parody, it was shown how the program was hosted by Gennady Malakhov. In the third, a parody was shown of one of the hosts of the program - Oksana Fyodorova, and in the fourth parody, what would happen if the program was on the Zvezda TV channel.
The Comedy Club program in several episodes showed a number in which, as it were, President Vladimir Putin hosts the evening program Good Night, Adults!, and tells a bedtime story.
In the animated series "Masyanya"There is also a parody of "Good night, kids!". In the series "Pear and Kondrashka" Khryundel worked as a puppeteer on the program "Why do you need Sochi, naked?". The characters turned out to be ugly animals Grusha and Kondrashka, vaguely resembling a pig and a wolf.
In the comedy sketchcom of the STS channel “Very Russian TV”, one of the headings was a parody of “Good night, kids” called “Write and sleep”. The main characters were either Uncle Vadim (V. P. Galygin) or Aunt Marina (M. Gritsuk), and the puppets were Denis the elk, Anatolich the maggot, and others. The program ended with the motto "Write and sleep."
On the stage, "Good night, kids" was parodied:

Transfer "Good night, kids!" - one of the most successful projects on domestic television and the oldest children's program in Russia - celebrates its anniversary on September 1. For 45 years, her leading and main characters have changed more than once, but the love of little viewers for her remains unchanged.

old nursery

The history of the birth of the program for the smallest dates back to 1963, when the editor-in-chief of the editorial office of programs for children and youth in the GDR saw an animated series that told about the adventures of a sandman. Then the idea came up to create an evening program for children in our country. Alexander Kurlyandsky, Eduard Uspensky, Andrey Usachev, Roman Sef and others took part in the creation of the program.

The creators of the program chose a name for a long time, among the options were "Bedtime Story", "Evening Tale", "Good Night", "Visiting the Magical Man Tick-Tock," according to the transmission website. But on the eve of the first broadcast, it was decided to call the program "Good night, kids!".

On September 1, 1964, its first issue was released. At first, the program was broadcast only live, these were episodes in the form of pictures with voice-over text.

"In those early years, along with many prohibitions, it was impossible to give fairy tales with a continuation the next day. Cartoons turned out to be banned in our program. Instead, I ordered drawings from the best animators of the Cartoon Studio - Lev Milchin, Vadim Kurchevsky, Nikolai Serebryakov, Vyacheslav Kotenochkin, Tamara Poletika. For a small fee, they made wonderful drawings that went in the frame, and the text was read behind the scenes, "recalled one of the first directors of the program Natalia Sokol.

Then came puppet shows and short plays. In addition, children themselves (4-6 years old) participated in the program, to whom theater actors told fairy tales.

"Guests" began to come to the kids - first Pinocchio and the bunny Tyopa, then the dog Chizhik, Alyosha-Pochemuchka and the Cat, then Shishiga and Enek-Benek, Shustrik and Myamlik joined them. The first hero, familiar to today's little viewer, appeared only in 1968.

The program quickly gained popularity and love not only of "kids", but also of their parents and did not lose them with the collapse of the USSR, despite moving from channel to channel. In addition, she received official recognition: she received the TEFI award three times (1997, 2002, 2003) in the nomination "best children's program" and got into the "Book of Records of Russia" as the oldest television program for children.

TV lullaby

The song “Good night, kids!”, upon hearing which any Soviet child ran to the TV, also appeared in 1963. "Tired toys are sleeping..." actor Oleg Anofriev sang to the kids. The words to this lullaby were written by the poetess Zoya Petrova, and the music was written by the famous composer Arkady Ostrovsky, who also owns the music for the songs "Let there always be sun" and others.

At first, the main lullaby of the country was sung by the actor Oleg Anufriev, who later voiced almost all the characters and the author in the popular Soviet cartoon "The Bremen Town Musicians". Then he was replaced by the singer Valentina Tolkunova. The splash screen in the form of a plasticine cartoon was made by Alexander Tatarsky.

In the late 80s, the intro and lullaby changed for a while - to "Sleep, my joy, sleep ...". Instead of a TV and toys sitting around it, a drawn garden and birds appeared.

Uncles and aunts

For 45 years, not only the intro and songs have changed, but also the presenters. At various times, good night was said to the kids by "Uncle Volodya" Vladimir Ukhin, "Aunt Valya" Valentina Leontyeva (they ran the program for 30 years), "Aunt Tanya" Tatyana Vedeneeva, "Aunt Lina" Angelina Vovk, "Aunt Tanya" Tatyana Sudets , "Uncle Yura" Yuri Grigoriev, "Uncle Yura" Yuri Nikolaev, magician Hmayak Hakobyan as the magician Rakhat ibn Lukum, etc.

For many of them, the program for the little ones has become the starting point in a great career. "I "grew up" from Aunt Lina from "Good night, kids!" into the permanent host of "Songs of the Year" ... But I am very glad that I was once "Aunt Lina". Young people now perceive me not as an ordinary TV presenter, but a little whether not as a nanny Arina Rodionovna, "says Angelina Vovk.

Interestingly, while the program "Good night, kids!" Angelina Vovk began to lead, one might say, against her will, when she urgently had to replace the absent Vladimir Ukhin. She did not know either the topic of the program, or which cartoon would be shown later. The red light on the camera lit up: it is on the air. She smiled, said hello, and then failure. She didn't remember what she had said for those five minutes until the cartoon started.

Then everyone congratulated her, saying that she had an excellent broadcast. So she became "Aunt Lina".

Now the program is being hosted by the daughter of the famous Russian film director Nikita Mikhalkov Anna Mikhalkova, Miss Universe 2002 Oksana Fedorova and actor Viktor Bychkov, known to the mass audience for his role as huntsman Kuzmich in Peculiarities of the National Hunt.

According to Oksana Fedorova, in childhood, "Good night, kids!" was her favorite program. The children's program was her first television experience. By the way, with her appearance on the air, the proportion of men in the audience of the program has increased dramatically.

However, her appearance did not affect the fate of another eminent host program - Anna Mikhalkova. With Piggy, Stepashka, Fillya, Karkusha and other heroes, they communicate in turn.

As the newspaper "Life" notes, over time, the style of communication on the program has changed a lot - they stopped addressing the presenters to you and calling them aunts: now just Oksana and Anya visit their favorite characters, but actor Viktor Bychkov still calls dolls Uncle Vitya .

Play with dolls

But the main characters of the program are still "puppet" characters. By the way, Filya was the first known to appear on May 20, 1968. The prototype of the current universal favorite was found by the editor of the program "Good night, kids!" Vladimir Shinkarev, who came up with this name for the dog.

The first actor who gave Phila a voice was Grigory Tolchinsky. He liked to joke: “I’ll retire, I’ll publish the book“ Twenty years under Aunt Valya’s skirt. ”By the way, male puppeteers really had a hard time: until the end of the 70s, female television employees were forbidden to come to work in trousers. Khryusha and Stepashka did not make exceptions, and the puppeteers needed to have strong nerves in order to control the puppet while sitting or lying under the table, surrounded by women's legs, and speak in the words of a 5-year-old baby.

“In order to reduce the number of mistakes to a minimum, a special sign language was even invented,” Alexander Mitroshenkov, chairman of the board of directors of the Klass! TV company that produces the program, told Moskovsky Komsomolets. : Colleagues of the famous leading aunt Vali warned her about the moment when she needed to enter into a role or finish a sentence by knocking on her leg under the table. And when the assistant told everyone that it was time to wrap up, the actors stroked the host with circular movements on the knee.

After the death of Grigory Tolchinsky, Filya was voiced by Igor Golunenko, and now by actor Sergei Grigoriev.

Following Filya, Stepashka appeared in 1970. He is voiced by Natalya Golubentseva, who in life sometimes uses the voice of her character and, although this is not supposed to be her certificate of a well-deserved artist, pasted her photograph with Stepashka.

The history of the appearance of Piggy is interesting. His official birthday is February 10, 1971, when Tepa the bunny and "Aunt Valya" were already sitting at the table in front of the viewers.

"Hello guys! Hello Tepa! Oh, someone hit me on the leg. Tepa, do you know who it is?" - "I know, Aunt Valya. This is a piglet. He lives with me now." - "Tepochka, why does he live under the table?" - "Because, Aunt Valya, he is very naughty and does not want to leave the table." - "What's your name, piglet?" - Asked, looking under the table, Valentina Leontyeva. And in response I heard: "Piggy".

It was over Piggy that the clouds most often subsequently thickened. In the 1980s, a new editorial director of children's programs was indignant: why did all the dolls in the program blink, but Piggy did not. The issue was brought to the nearest board of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, which decided to replace the dolls with people. But due to the outrage of millions of viewers, the dolls were returned two months later.

At the beginning of perestroika, Soviet Muslims took up arms against Khryusha, demanding "to remove pork from the frame." To which the editor of the program, Lyudmila Yermilina, replied: "The Koran says that pigs should not be eaten, but Allah does not forbid looking at them at all."

Until 2002, Khryusha spoke in the voice of Natalia Derzhavina. She devoted her whole life to her beloved pig. “He sometimes gets completely out of control,” she said. “When he blurts out something, I even have to apologize. For him - not for myself. I know that I could not say that under any circumstances! it seems to me that we just have a common blood circulation. But in general, there is as much foolishness in me as in this scoundrel ... "

After the death of Natalya Derzhavina, Khryusha began to speak in the voice of Oksana Chabanyuk.

For a very long time they could not find the character of Karkusha - a character invented in 1979 in order to dilute the male company. Many actresses who auditioned for her role could not get used to the image of a funny crow until Gertrude Sufimova came to Good Night at a fairly respectable age. In 1998, when she died, the crow settled on the arm of actress Galina Burmistrova.

After 2000, a new character appeared on the screen - Mishutka. The Dwarf Buckeye sometimes joins the main characters. At different times, Pinocchio and the bunny Tyopa, the dog Chizhik, Alyosha-Pochemuchka and the Cat, Shishiga and Enek-benek, Shustrik and Myamlik, Tsap-Tsarapych, the cat Vasil Vasilich, Brownie, Mokryona, Lesovichek, Fedya the Hedgehog and the Rooster Peas also appeared on the screen at different times .

Big transfer policy for the little ones

From the very beginning, the program is educational and educational in nature, telling instructive stories, teaching children letters and numbers in a playful way, introducing famous people - children's writers, artists, singers.
According to the "Courier of the White Sea", once the bard Sergei Nikitin was invited to the program "to visit". Everyone sat down in their places - some at the table, some under the table - and the recording began. Nikitin greeted Aunt Lina, Khryusha and Fillya, said something, sang a song. And then Phil asks: "Uncle Seryozha, what else do you do besides songs?"

"I am a biochemist by profession, and songs are my passion," the bard replied. Piggy entered the conversation: "Oh, how interesting! What is a biochemist?" - "Biochemistry is a science that studies the substances from which living organisms are made. Here you are, Piggy, what are you made of?" Natalya Derzhavina, who spoke for Khryusha, thought for a second and cheerfully replied: "From pork!" Filming was able to resume only after 15 minutes.

And in Soviet times, the program was attributed to "political sabotage."

“... One of the first broadcasts almost became the last,” said Alexander Mitroshenkov. “The first secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev, in the last years of his work liked to go on business trips abroad. There were a lot of jokes about this. (...) Already under Brezhnev, a program was removed from the air, in which it was explained with humor why the dog Fili has a human name. Ironically, at that moment Fidel Castro arrived in the USSR, and some of the politicians came up with the idea that Filya is Fidel, which means that the scriptwriters are encroaching on the honor and dignity of the Cuban leader."

At the same time, Mitroshenkov says, Brezhnev himself was a big fan of the Good Night, Kids! program. As the former chairman of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company Sergei Lapin said, once the General Secretary joked to the Politburo: “Yesterday I watched“ Good night, kids! ”- and there the pig said that we still have a lot of boobies left. We need to reduce their number!”.

There is also a story that when Mikhail Gorbachev came to power, it was not recommended to show a cartoon about the bear Mishka, who never finished the job he started.

On September 1, 1964, for the first time on the TV screen, the program “Good night, kids!” appeared. She almost never stopped going on the air and has always been popular. It is watched by the third generation of young viewers. The program can be called one of the most successful projects in the history of not only Russian, but also world television. Khryusha, Stepasha, Filya and Karkusha themselves have not changed much over the past decades, but their “human” colleagues in the shop, aunts and uncles, have already changed many times. We invite you to remember how it all began, and who were the hosts of your favorite children's program throughout its history.

The history of the birth of the program dates back to 1963, when the editor-in-chief of the editorial office of programs for children and youth, Valentina Fedorova, while in the GDR, saw an animated series about the adventures of a sandman and wanted to create something similar in the USSR.

The first splash screen was black and white. The screen saver depicted a watch with moving hands.

Then the program went on the air at different times, and the author of the screensaver, artist Irina Vlasova, each time set the time anew.

The screen saver became colored in the late 70s.

The usual conclusion to “Good night, little ones” was the cartoon and the lullaby “Tired toys are sleeping, performed by Oleg Anofriev and Valentina Tolkunova. The splash screen in the form of a plasticine cartoon was made by Alexander Tatarsky.

The audience liked the plasticine cartoon so much that the new screensaver (a drawn lady sitting in the garden) and the lullaby (“Sleep my joy, sleep) did not take root.

And modern kids fall asleep almost the same way as their parents.

The very first version of the program is radically different from the usual ones: there are no puppets and a cartoon in it. The announcer read the text behind the scenes, drawings were shown on the screen. Then there were puppet shows and small plays, in which the artists of the Moscow Art Theater and the Theater of Satire played.

The heroes of the mini-performances were Pinocchio, Tepa the hare, Shustrik and Myamlik dolls. Also, children aged 4-6 years old and theater actors in the role of storytellers participated in the program.

On May 20, 1968, for the first time in the history of the program, the cartoon “Nutlet” was shown. And at the same time, the Oreshek doll was made in the form of the main character.

Only in September 1968, the first participant, who has existed so far, joins the characters - Filya the dog.

February 10, 1971 can be considered a birthday Piggy pig. The naughty piglet, who constantly plays pranks and learns from his own mistakes, has become a favorite of the audience. There is a considerable merit in this of Natalya Derzhavina, in whose voice he spoke until 2002.

In 1970 appeared Stepashka- the opposite of Piggy: an obedient and inquisitive bunny, polite and reasonable.

Stepashka has been voiced by Natalya Golubentseva all these years.

In 1979, the only female character appeared in the program - Karkusha.

Many actresses who auditioned for the role could not get used to the image of a funny crow until Gertrude Sufimova appeared in Good Night. In 1998, at the age of 72, the actress died, Galina Marchenko began to speak for the crow.

In 1984, Mishutka was introduced into the main cast of the famous four: Fili, Khryushi, Stepashki and Karkusha.

Other heroes of the program were the cat Tsap-Tsarapych ...

... Pinocchio ...

... Bibigon ...

... and the Dwarf Letter.

They resolved the conflicts of the heroes and answered their questions “uncles” and “aunts” - the hosts of the program.

Aunt Valya. The first host of Good Night, Kids was Valentina Leontieva, but in 1965 she had to move to New York with her diplomat husband.

In 1967, Aunt Valya returned, but she had to be replaced for two years.

Aunt Light. During Leontyeva's absence, Svetlana Zhiltsova, another star presenter of Soviet television, known from KVN, first went on the air.

Aunt Lina. Even then, Angelina Vovk, the host of “Songs of the Year”, began to go on the air from time to time.

In this capacity, Vovk worked for many more years.

The first leading "uncle" was Vladimir Ukhin.

Uncle Volodya worked in the program for 31 years.

Aunt Tanya. At first this “name” was borne by Tatyana Sudets.

She has been with the program for almost 25 years.

Aunt Tanya - 2. The second “Aunt Tanya” was Tatyana Vedeneeva.

The presenter came to television already at the end of the Brezhnev stagnation, and she received star status already in perestroika times.

Uncle Yura- Yuri Grigoriev, theater artist.

Uncle Grisha. For some time, Grigory Gladkov appeared as a leader with a guitar.

Rakhat Lukumych.“Special” episodes with host Hmayak Hakobyan also came out quite regularly for a long time.

Dima. One of the youngest presenters of the program, in whose address the heroes even omitted the word “uncle” is Dmitry Khaustov.

Alexander Lenkov. The program was occasionally hosted by a well-known actor.

Wizard, Munchausen, Doctor, host of the Tales of the Peoples of the World cycle. All these heroes were personified by the actor Vladimir Pinchevsky.

Julia. Yulia Pustovoitova hosted the program from 1998 to 2003 and was one of the youngest presenters (she also “did not deserve the prefix “aunt” in her address).

Yulia managed to change three channels - first ORT, then "Culture", after which the program moved to RTR.

Aunt Anya. The program survived the closure and then restoration - with a new host - Anna Mikhalkova.

Aunt Ksyusha. Oksana Fedorova became the host of the children's program after winning the Miss Universe contest.

Uncle Dima. When Fedorova went on maternity leave, the program was hosted by singer Dmitry Malikov.

Uncle Andryusha. On November 19, 2013, Andrey Grigoriev-Appolonov from Ivanushki became the host.

Uncle Vitya. Viktor Bychkov, “Kuzmich” from Peculiarities of the National Hunt, hosted the program from 2007 to 2012.
