Fantasia (Brazilian television program)
Fantasia[1] was a Brazilian television program hosted by several female models on SBT. Based on the Italian television program “Non è la RAI”, it was an entertainment program in which people could participate in several games and earn money by phoning the program. It debuted on December 1, 1997. Many models from the program continued their career on TV.
History of the Program
First Season (1997–1998)
The first season, which was the most successful one, debuted on December 1, 1997, at 4:30 pm. It was hosted by Adriana Colin, Débora Rodrigues, Jackeline Petkovic and Valéria Balbi, and directed by Paulo Santoro. In March 1998, Valéria Balbi left the program and the former dancers Amanda Françozo and Tânia Mara became hosts. The first season of the program ended on August 15, 1998. The official announcement of the cancellation of the program happened one day before its end. The reason why the program was canceled was that, since the month of April, the audience rate had been decreasing.
Second Season (1998–1999)
On November 1, 1998, the program was back on Sundays, at midday, and it was hosted by Carla Perez.
The program had some changes. The main change was the inclusion of musical attractions in addition to the games. Carla Perez also used to dance with her guests. The program was canceled again in August 1999.
Third Season (2000)
On January 8, 2000, the program is back on the schedule of SBT, on Saturdays, from 2:15 pm to 7:20 pm. It was hosted by Celso Portiolli, Márcia Goldschmidt, Christina Rocha, Otávio Mesquita and Lu Barsoti.
The program kept the same background and some of the dancers. It was canceled on June 10, 2000.
Fourth Season (2007–2008)
On Tuesday, October 30, 2007, the program is back from 1:00 am to 3:00 am, being hosted by Helen Ganzarolli, Caco Rodrigues and Luiz Bacci. On the second day, Bacci had already left the program, which was then hosted only by Helen and Caco.
In the fourth season, the format remained similar to the one of the previous seasons. The main changes were the reduction of the quantity of dancers (the number was reduced from 75 to 35 girls) and their clothes (in the three previous seasons, they wore shorts and colored shirts; in the fourth season, they wore bikinis).
Between December 24 and January 12, due to Christmas and New Year seasons, the program ran in the afternoon, at 3:00 pm, and the length of the program was reduced to one hour. On January 14, the program started to run during the early hours of the day again, with its normal length of two hours.
On Monday, March 10, 2008, the program was back to the afternoon, starting at 2:00 pm. However, seven days later, the program was canceled.
The fourth season of the program started on Tuesday, October 30, 2007 and ended on Monday, March 17, 2008.
