Večerníček

Večerníček

Večerníček is a children's television program that has been on the air for 40 years.

Večerníček is shown every evening at 6:45 pm, when children are supposed to go to bed.  Each episode lasts five to seven minutes and there are usually 10 to 20 episodes per show.

Sandmännchen

It is also shown in Slovakia.  Prior to 1993, both Czech and Slovak versions were shown in Czechoslovakia.

In East Germany, the children watched Sandmännchen (the Sandman).  He too is still popular in Germany.

The Večerníček website has lots of videos online that you can watch.  Here's a sample video, from 1983, that I found out on YouTube.
