I'm sure they had something. However, I never heard from any other geek from the socialist bloc mention any show that had the cult following of Sonda among us, Poles.

Speaking from ex-SU side, not sure about shows, but some 'science' related magazines had cult following.
Copies of 'Eureka' were a great read in my childhood. It was a yearly book-length magazine about new technologies.
Some covers from it here — http://publ.lib.ru/ARCHIVES/E/%27%27Evrika%27%27/_%27%27Evri...
Sonda definitely had little oversight and no screenwriting, but it was very honest and well intentioned in that old school Polish-Socialist Politechnika Engineer sort of way. Definitely a breath of fresh air, even today. Makes one wonder if this was the same in other Socialist Republics or was unique to Poland.
