Abstract
Taking as its main case study the experimental, satirical sketch show <em>The Street / Улицата</em> (1992-1996), this essay examines the transformational moment in Bulgarian broadcast media following 1989, specifically focusing on the period between 1990 and 1997, and ways in which the socio-political transition functioned as a catalyst for re-assessing the aesthetics, politics, and structure of television in the country. I focus on the juxtaposition of radical potential and problematic representations featured on this show, establishing connections between the post-1989 influx of Western cultural import and the new media form <em>The Street</em> took upon its release in 1992. The paper locates regional intersections of approach and aesthetics evident in postsocialist TV satire.
