I remember having quite a few VHS tapes from a company called "Just For Kids", that had some of the neatest shows.

"Sherlock Hound", "Kissyfur", "Foofur", "Seabert", and quite a bit more. My siblings and I loved animals, so this got us interested right away!

I also grew up in a religious household, so Christian videos were standard for us.

Did you know that there was a bible-story-centric anime called "Superbook"? Used to watch it all the time! There was also "McGee and Me", "Secret Adventure", and "Adventures in Odyssey". Used to listen to the "Adventures in Odyssey" radio show all the time!

"The Donut Man" was a Barney-esque Christian show for kids, too.

What obscure things did you watch growing up?

Canadian animation was fantastic!

Ryan Larkin was briefly going to be the future of animation, and then he crashed and burned. The handful of shorts he managed to create are INCREDIBLE though.

Looks like he struggled with drugs and homelessness? That's so sad.
