Ovide and the Gang - we had this one on tape and it was a touch of streaming without commercials decades before that happened. Animation was OK for its time but still had a lot of errors even a kid will notice. Something about it as a kid felt a little weird but the setting was refreshing.

Hammy Hamster - Grandma taped this one for us. If you like making dioramas and want your pet hamster, guinea pig, and other critters to be TV stars this laid the groundwork. Not a cartoon but it fits right in with them.

Wapos Bay - is also worth a mention. It's a more modern stop motion take on the Cree community in Saskatchewan. It has a unique brand of humor and that "way up north" feel to the setting and aboriginal community dynamics which makes for a good change of pace. It was almost like a cleaned up family friendly South Park.

All of these shows are Canadian in origin if that explains anything. Wapos Bay I didn't see until later in life but usually would drop everything if my dad told me it was on. First two I haven't thought of in so long I had to google them to make sure they were real and not my imagination. Truly weird TV shows are always worth the time because there's never anything like them.
