What obscure cartoons/media from your childhood do you remember? (self.chat)

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?

I swear - there used to be a segment on CBC kids where children would submit short films they had made. The mascot was an electric wall outlet; I have not been able to find anyone else who remembers this but it was definitely real because I have a number of home movies I wanted to submit to it.

I remember a few. I'm thinking they could be considered obscure to some degree, but mostly because I live in Europe. But I remember 'Mighty Max,' 'Captain N: The Game Master' and 'The Toxic Crusaders.'
