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 is wild, and so much of it is unknown outside of the country.

I remember seeing a short called "La Salla" on Canadian TV when I was a kid. Caused me a bit of childhood trauma lol

    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.

    Totally. Every once in a while I think about what an interesting legacy creators of those shows leave. A lot of the time they only worked on one show and it stays obscure for those didn't view it when it initially aired and outside of the country. Yet over a decade later people still look back fondly.

    What was La Salla about?
