one television house is being renovated. The kitchen of Khryun Morzhov, peeled after moving to TV-6, from where he now broadcasts “Extinguish the light!”, Is overgrown with fresh putty and plaster. Now the walls are laid out with tiles. Three rows have already been laid - gray-blue, hexagonal, as on the new channel icon.

Not exactly a picture from a magazine, of course, but also “smother”.

It's good when the house is clean and tidy - at least three rows of tiles. When your entire morning broadcast is not filled with commercials for fat actresses and alcoholic actors. When a talk show that has dried up from time does not stick out from a secluded time slot. When the camp of comedians wandering through the canals did not move into prime time, frolicking on your declared, but successfully defiled sense of beauty.

The housing problem is simply not solved on the TV channel. Not like in the “Housing Problem” - just throw out everything superfluous and live and be happy. With a TV channel - you have to endure here.

Here, on the Saturday afternoon broadcast of NTV, a whole "Kyshkin House" was hooked up with a responsible tenant, Madame Stepanenko, who is also the creative and life companion of Yevgeny Petrosyan. The most, by the way, long-awaited premiere of the channel - in the sense that it was not allowed to air anyway. Well, as soon as they let them in, all these pseudo-proletarian accusations of NTV of excessive Parfyonian aestheticism dissipated on their own. Excuse me, what is the dominance of aestheticism? Here you have Malvina Stepanovna Kysh, a lady of pleasant appearance, quite a proletarian talent, guests go to her in a herd, and everyone laughs. Let's say Yefim Shifrin comes, looks at Yefim Shifrin and laughs so-and-so at Yefim Shifrin! Then Maxim Galkin comes, and he also laughs so-and-so at Galkin! Only Vladimir Volfovich Zhirinovsky does not laugh. He's not funny. And it's not funny for us to look at him. So that it would not be funny for us to look at Zhirinovsky - this is a humorous program that needs to try. Zhirinovsky makes faces, but in the interval between grimaces he suddenly says: “I was at your concerts and thought: either the audience is idiots, or the artists!” But in the "Kyshkin House" they do not take offense at "idiots".

True, not everyone has such noisy guests who call the hosts idiots. Last week, the TV channels, which followed President Putin in a friendly crowd to the newly built Lensk, showed how they go to visit in a quiet way.

The President, as you know, went to check whether the houses were well built and whether it is now warm to live there. Since the final audit of the president was planned from the very beginning, the whole of Lensk turned out to be exemplary.

The TV channels reported in unison, word for word, regardless of the button number: they rebuilt well, the new settlers are happy, there is only one dissatisfied family, but she just didn’t want to move to a new house out of stubbornness, and if she hadn’t been stubborn, she would also have walked with us at the general celebration of life, accompanied by television cameras and the president. The houses were shown still sterile-new, but already habitable, cozy. The president comes into the house, “where they were waiting for him,” and there is immediately a fish pie on the table, and a bottle. Well, just in case, the president decided to "accidentally raid" another house. And there - bah! - the table is also set by chance. Well, he just dropped in here for a housewarming party, in a quiet way. The residents of Leningrad sat so quietly with the president that the correspondent of TV-6 rejoiced: "The sleeping one-year-old baby, despite the visit of distinguished guests, did not wake up." This sleeping baby was shown on all channels - several cameras, which means they carefully looked into the cradle ...

The only problem with these new houses in Lensk is that you can’t hammer nails into the wall, otherwise the heat can go away. But if one “Kyshkin Dom” is driven into the channel, will the heat not go away? A successfully defiled sense of beauty will not be writhed? A?
