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?
Being born in the early 90’s in a country neighboring Russia, you could find quite a lot of bootleg or otherwise weird VHS-tapes of Soviet-era cartoons that had made it across the border back after the Iron Curtain collapsed, usually at flea-markets or in bargain-bins.
I remember we used to have quite a few of them, most were just collections of different Russian cartoons from like the 70’s and 80’s. A few I’ve managed to track down, like Nu Pogodi! The rest of them I’ve tried to find with the limited details I remember, but haven’t had any luck.
