Mom left the Family chat again. We’ll tell you how the new “Daddy’s Girls” came to be. The premiere of the new “Daddy’s Girls” will take place on September 18 at 14:30.

“Life sometimes releases a needle and erases the past like a virus,” the Umaturman group told STS channel viewers hundreds of times in the late 2000s and early 1900s. “Daddy’s Daughters” remained on the air for almost 6 years, 20 seasons, and more than 400 episodes. Although these were not the first original Russian sitcoms, they were the first truly popular sitcoms: After “Daughters,” domestic television producers slowly began to abandon adaptations of foreign hits such as “My Fair Nanny,” “Happy Together” and “The Voronins.” . .” And “Girls” has become an impressive cast of television personnel: at one time, for example, Vyacheslav Dusmukhametov (founder of Medium Quality, known for “What Happened Then?”), Evgeny Sobolev and Anton Kolbasov (“University”), Maxim Vakhitov (” Interns”) and Anton Morozenko (“Slave”).

The last episode of Daddy’s Girls aired ten years ago in the spring of 2013. A lot had happened in the series by then. First, mother Lyudmila Sergeevna left the family psychotherapist Sergei Alekseevich Vasnetsov and her daughters Masha, Dasha, Zhenya, Galina Sergeevna and Pugovka. Then my mother returned and my father left. Later, in 2010, all those who had left returned, those who had quarreled made up, the elderly Vasnetsovs had a son and a grandson, and “Daddy’s Girls” had its first finale, in which the heroes of the series left the set beautifully. A series about their lives.

“We received a lot of letters, calls and requests to return the beloved story of the Vasnetsov family to the screens,” said the then general director of STS, Vyacheslav Murugov. The project ran for another three years. Moreover, over time, it mutated more and more: from there some characters disappeared partially or completely, the Vasnetsovs moved to the Moscow region, Galina Sergeevna met with the prince (don’t ask). Another sequel, threatened at the end of episode 410, never came (“The project was closed… The best of our projects are already alive in new hits,” Murugov said then). But sometimes life releases its sting and erases the past like a virus.

“Mom left the Family chat” – in one of the first scenes of the pilot episode of the series “Daddy’s Daughters”. New” this move comes to Venik Vasiliev and his daughters Sonya, Lisa, Diana and Arina on the eve of the next wedding anniversary (one less, there is still a demographic crisis). It must be said that this scene is quite heartbreaking.

The plot of the original “Daddy’s Girls” series began with betrayal — at least as far as the show itself was concerned. The new “Daddy’s Girls” begins with a sense of betrayal — mainly in remembrance of the series’ predecessor, of course. But the issue isn’t that the reboot uses the exact same script, it’s who gets wasted.

The authors of the book “Daddy’s Daughters” had already betrayed Dasha once and turned her from a goth girl into a “normal” one. But now she is deprived of this too: apparently she “could not find herself in the role of a wife and mother.” The problem is that the core of the Vasnetsov family was served by Dasha for a long time: dad was too stupid, Masha was too flighty, Galina Sergeevna was too absorbed in her affairs, Zhenya was too absorbed in sports, and Button was too young. Behind the image of a sharp-tongued rebel was a fiercely empathetic girl who knew better than anyone in the world what it was like to be abandoned by your mother. Literally any of Dasha’s sisters would have looked more logical and suitable in the role of the fugitive.

But it is worth admitting: despite the famous statement that no one returns to 2007, “Daddy’s Girls” managed to return there. It’s also worth acknowledging that there’s nothing good about it because they literally do it. You can’t look at most old TV shows today without crying, but they were somehow a product of their time. You can’t watch the new episodes without shedding tears, but they can’t have such excuses anymore. Still following in the footsteps of the old ones, the new “Daddy’s Girls” calmly proves that it’s utterly hilarious when an absent father suddenly has to become involved in his daughters’ lives. And, as before, they do not see the beam in their own eye: it is not at all surprising that in “Daddy’s Daughters” women abandon men, it is surprising that they do it so late (and inhumanly leave the children in the bargain).

At the same time, it is interesting to observe how the series itself tried to look extremely modern (in the tradition of the previous two seasons, the new episodes were shot “somehow” and not in a teleplay format typical of classic sitcoms). adult path”). But everything is hopeless: here one sister calls another her “accident”, a pop-it appears in the frame, in short, some kind of endless shame flows (and one wonders, where do these tubes go with the spinners).

However, the real problem with the rebooted “Girls” is not that they are overly archaic (even cute: Vasnetsov Sr., despite being a monstrous therapist with monstrous advice, somehow still works as a family psychotherapist; it’s scary to think what the damage is to that). character damaged the image of psychotherapy in Russia). And this does not mean that the new generation loses to the old generation on all fronts (the Vasnetsovs were bright and unforgettable sitcom heroes, because each of them could be described in one word; the Vasilyevs cannot boast of this). And it’s not that they’re relying too heavily on nostalgia (the number of cameos in the first four episodes are admittedly exhausting). And it’s not even a pretty bad show at its core. The real problem is that this is a bad show that thinks it’s good. It’s a strange thing, of course: a show where everyone has abandoned each other forever cannot itself go away and leave us alone.
