The program was established in September 1964. She almost never ceased to go on the air and has always been popular. It looks the third generation.

The history of the birth of the transfer "Good night, kids!" Begins in 1963, when the chief editor of the editorial programs for children and youth Valentina Fedorova, as in the GDR, saw the animated series about the adventures of a sand man. So the idea to create in our country an evening program for children.
September 1, 1964, the screens out its first issue. The first screensaver was black and white. Saver showed a watch with moving hands. Then the transmission was not continuous output time saver and author, the artist Irina Vlasova, just in time to set the time again.

In the creation of the program was attended by Alexander Kurland, Eduard Uspensky, Andrey Usachev, Roman Sef and others. Conceived as the transfer of "Bedtime Story". And once the program has had its own voice, its own unique song "Sleeping tired toys" lulls the kid.

After watching a cartoon protagonist appeared in the studio. It was a new fairy-tale element. cartoon hero miraculously appears and begins to chat.

It was only in September 1968 to the string of characters joins first become legendary and still exists party dog Phil. Its prototype was the dog Bravni long time pylivshiysya on the doll stock. The first actor to voice Fil, was Gregory Tolchinskiy. He loved to joke: "retire, will publish the book" Twenty years under the skirt aunt Wali ". Today's vote Fili - actor Sergey Grigoriev.

The characters are complex relationships, conflicts and unresolved issues in the world. Answered these questions leading Aunt Val, Aunt Tanya, Aunt Lena, Aunt Light, Uncle Volodya and uncle Jura.

When peace was restored, and the issues were resolved, the children received the award in the cartoon. So in our lives and broke Krzhmelik Vahmurka, Lelek and Bolek, dog Rex and Krotik.

When in the early 80s, it was decided to replace the puppet people, indignation of millions of viewers did not have a limit, and two months later, dolls have taken the usual places. At its duty to screen century "Goodnight" worried all the time. Most often, the clouds are gathering over the Piggy and the most unexpected occasions.
