Chiliopodarousa

Chiliopodarousa was a Greek children's television show broadcast on ERT. It first aired on November 6, 1983, and last aired on June 14, 1987. The host was Nikos Pilavios, who was accompanied by two puppets from the Sofianos Family, named Rozalia Bourbouridou, Timoleon Alaleon, and Chiliopodarousa. The voices for the puppets were provided by Ivi Sofianou, Faidon Sofianos, and Rena Kazakou, respectively. The music for the series was composed by Stamatis Spanoudakis, Sakis Tsilikis, and Rozana Lada, and the opening titles were by the former. In 1989, the series' title song was the basis for the song "Giorti" by Spanoudakis, sung by Alkistis Protopsalti and released on the album Dyo Vimata Ap' Tin Amo (1989).

Chiliopodarousa featured several segments such as "Write the Story", "The Animal Orchestra", "Handicrafts", "Topics for Painting", "Apple Crafts", "Various Games", "Find the Proverb", and "Dr. Chourchourizis". In March 1987, the last series was re-aired with weekly episodes on ERT as an independent program.
