| - | '''Tutti Frutti''' was the German version of the Italian [[game show]] ''Colpo Grosso'' (Big Score, in English). It was aired from [[21 January]] [[1990]] through to [[21 February]] [[1993]] on [[RTL plus]] for three seasons, totaling approximately 140 episodes. It was the first erotic TV show on German television and was also available to viewers across Europe as it was broadcast in the clear via the [[Astra satellite]] with a wide transmission 'footprint' and was popular with 'early adopter' satellite enthusiasts in the UK. The show caused substantial outrage at the time, as partial nudity was a central feature (the show featured scantily dressed and stripping women). | + | A '''game show''' is a type of [[television program]] in which members of the public or [[celebrity|celebrities]], sometimes as part of a team, play a [[game]] which involves answering questions or solving problems for money and/or prizes. On some shows contestants compete against other players or another team while other shows involve contestants playing alone for a good outcome or a high score. Game shows often reward players with prizes such as cash, trips and goods and services provided by the show's prize suppliers. Many television game shows descended from similar programs on [[radio]]. |

| - | The show was innovative in broadcasting 3D effect film clips where the background was scrolled across the screen at a slower speed than dancers in the foreground, thereby giving the effect of depth on a 2D screen with no requirement for special glasses or equipment. | + | |

| - | Two candidates could win points during guessing game rounds, which were invested into removing various clothing items of a stripper. The contestants would call 'heiss' or 'kalt' (hot or cold) to make their guess. If the lady was almost entirely undressed, a so-called "Länderpunkt" (country point) was awarded (the term "Länderpunkt" is still widely associated with the show even today). The number of obtained "Länderpunkte" then determined the winnings, which could occasionally reach up to 5000 ECU coins. The studio band played throughout the program to create a loose atmosphere. | + | |

| - | A significant portion of success of Tutti Frutti is attributed to the so-called “ballet Cin Cin” (in the original Italian, “ragazze cin cin”). This was a group of internationally well-known models, who were hired permanently to fill certain roles in the show. Each was representing a certain fruit and some are still known as this fruit. Former German “Playmates Of The Year” Stella Kobs and [[Elke Jeinsen]] filled this role, among others. | + | |
