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?

It's technically a Disney Movie, but Brave Little Toaster was a bizarre move we used to watch all the time as kids. Up there with movies like Flight of the Navigator or Short Circuit or Batteries Not Included in terms of rewatchability for us. Tried watching it with my kids a year or two ago and I feel like I don't know how my parents could have let me watch it as a kid. So dark. So weird.

    The junkyard car song from that movie has to be one of the most soul crushing, depressing songs ever
