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 remember having a VHS tape from some group which was basically just a bunch random kid friendly songs. I did some googling and found a Youtube Channel with them (interestingly called "Kidsongs") - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71a4VPi6toc
The other obscure-ish one that I remember was trying to wake up early before school to watch Superhuman Samurai Cyber Squad. I can see now it was an attempt to capitalize on Power Rangers' popularity and reuse Japanese footage in the same way/style.
War Planets was another one I loved as a kid, mostly because I had a lot of War Planets toys too.
