Good night, Kids - “Even a fairy tale goes to bed so that we can dream at night .
.. Believe in a fairy tale, as they have been believing in it for more than 50 years!” Hello everyone!
Children grow up, mature by leaps and bounds - and this is the TRUTH! Some cartoons are replaced by others, old hobbies are replaced by new ones, and so on in a circle. Now our daughter has fallen in love with Good Night Kids. You will not believe it - precisely because of the splash screen at the end, because of the beautiful children's song.
Blankets and pillows are waiting for the children.
Even a fairy tale goes to bed,
To dream at night.
You wish her:
Bye-bye.
You can swing in a fairy tale
On the moon
And rush along the rainbow
On a horse.
Make friends with the baby elephant
And catch the feather of the firebird.
Close your eyes,
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye, all people should
Sleep at night.
Bye-bye, tomorrow will be
Day again.
We were very tired during the day,
Let's say "Good night" to everyone.
Close your eyes,
Bye-bye.
Lyrics for this song were written by Zoya Petrova, music - Arkady Ostrovsky. It turns out that between the second and third verse there is another one, those who are interested in it can always find it on the Internet. But we all know from childhood just such a variation of this song. Our daughter, who is not yet two years old, has already learned to sing along with her, especially about the baby elephant and the fire bird !!! And this, believe me, is the real joy. To watch the child from the side as she enthusiastically looks at Fillya, Stepashka, Khryusha and Karkusha, and then childishly sings some words and sentences !!!
This program has been broadcast since the days of USSR television, since 1964! Later, it began to be broadcast at the film studio in Ostankino. During the period of its existence, it has more than 15 leaders. Among them were: Angelina Vovk, Yuri Nikolaev, Yuri Kuklachev, Hmayak Akopyan, Dmitry Malikov and others.
The plot is very simple - the main characters, together with the host, are having conversations on fascinating topics, in which there is always a place for some kind of life lesson. Then a cartoon is shown. At the moment, these are: "Masha and the Bear", "Fixies," Luntik ", etc. Cartoons are all kind and instructive.
Of course, we can't help but mention the splash screen. This is a good old story about a girl who goes to bed against the backdrop of her room, toys and fabulous dreams that she has. This animated picture has an old look, they are almost never created now, but it is truly universal. I remember myself as a child - how I looked through the screensaver with interest, and now, watching my daughter, I see a little myself in her - she watches it with the same interest! These are indescribable feelings! All the authors and directors of this old idea should have a monument erected - after all, you must admit that the age of 50 years is a lot for a TV show! And thank God, the screen saver has not changed significantly over the years!
One can talk and talk about such a successful TV project.
Most importantly, the kids love it. This is a good program, it will not teach our children evil, it will tell about friendship, and will make you believe in miracles and fairy tales for as long as possible!!!
I recommend that all children watch Good Night Kids!
May we all have only good dreams and may our children be happy and healthy!

The most famous children's television program "Good night, kids!" first aired on September 1, 1964.
The initiative to create the program belonged to the editor-in-chief of the editorial office of programs for children and youth of the USSR State Television and Radio Broadcasting Central Television Valentina Fedorova.

"Good night, kids!" 50 years on airTelecast "Good night, kids!" September 1 marks 50 years. The first issue of the program was black and white and lasted seven minutes, illustrations of fairy tales were shown on the screen, accompanied by narration.
A team of children's writers, poets and screenwriters, Alexander Kurlyandsky, Eduard Uspensky, Andrey Usachev, Roman Sef and others, stands at the very beginning of the creation of the program.
The program was conceived as a bedtime story. The name of the program was discussed for a long time, there were many options: "Evening Tale", "Good Night", "Bedtime Tale", "Visiting the Magic Man Tick-Tock". But the final version appeared on the eve of the first broadcast: "Good night, kids!".
From the very beginning, the program had its own 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, and a little later by Valentina Tolkunova.
At first, the program was broadcast on pictures with voice-over text. Later, puppet shows and small plays for children appeared, performed by artists of the Moscow Art Theater and the Satire Theater.
Pinocchio and Tepa the hare, Shustrik and Myamlik puppets took part in the puppet shows (all puppets were made in Sergei Obraztsov's theater). In addition to the dolls in Good Night, Kids! children of 4-6 years old participated, who were visited by famous theater actors: they gave advice, told fairy tales.
Later, other characters began to appear in the program: Filya the dog, Stepashka the hare, Khryusha the pig, and Karkusha the crow. Sometimes the cat Tsap-Tsarapych took part in the program. And in 2002, the well-coordinated team was replenished with a new hero, the bear cub Mishutka.
Moscow theater actors voice the puppets.
The first announcer of the only children's program at that time was Nina Kondratova. Later, the program was hosted by such artists as Valentina Leontyeva (Aunt Valya), Vladimir Ukhin (Uncle Volodya), Tatyana Vedeneeva, Angelina Vovk, Tatyana Sudets, Yuri Grigoriev, Yulia Pustovoitova, Dmitry Khaustov.
Since September 2012, the singer Dmitry Malikov has become the host of the program. Now the program is hosted by actress Anna Mikhalkova, ex-Miss Universe Oksana Fedorova and actor Viktor Bychkov (Uncle Vitya).
The plot of the program, as a rule, consists of an instructive story in which puppet characters take part. The "adult" presenter explains to them what to do and how to behave in a given situation. At the end of the program, a cartoon on the topic under discussion is shown.
Ending with "Good night, little ones!" screensaver, accompanied by a lullaby song. The first screensaver, which appeared in 1965, was black and white. She depicted a watch with moving hands. Then the program did not have a fixed release time, and the author of the intro, artist Irina Vlasova, set the time again every time. At the end of 1970s splash screen became color. In 1982, the first animated plasticine screen saver made by Alexander Tatarsky appeared.
Later the screensaver was changed. The TV with toys sitting around was replaced by a painted garden, birds and a lady in a huge hat. The new intro also included another lullaby - "Sleep, my joy, sleep..." (music by Wolfgang Mozart and Bernard Flies, Russian text by Sofia Sviridenko) performed by Elena Kamburova. But the innovation did not take root.
Created especially for children from three to seven years old, the program "Good night, kids!" has no age restrictions, since parents, grandparents watch it with pleasure together with the child. The program is the absolute record holder in terms of duration of existence and popularity among viewers.
The program won the TEFI television award three times (in 1997, 2002 and 2003) in the Best Children's Program nomination.
"Good night, little ones!" began to appear on the second program of Central Television. During the existence of the program, the time of its release on the air and the television channel changed several times.
Since March 2002 the program "Good night, kids!" was on the Rossiya TV channel, since June 2014 it can be watched on the Rossiya K TV channel (from Monday to Thursday).
