Slniečko

Slniečko was a Czechoslovakian kids show that aired between 1979-1989. While the show is remembered quite fondly in Slovakia, it was pretty much unheard of in other countries until digging in Slovakian areas (people who speak Slovakian) was done. The show is mainly known outside Slovakia for Raťafák Plachta, a character in the show who gained a reputation as creepy due to some early videos of him. However, he's actually very kind and friendly. The most notable thing about the show is that it assisted in The Velvet Revolution which ended communism In Czechoslovakia in 1990, splitting the country into The Czech Republic and Slovakia. This was due to the show teaching kids to break out the hive mind mentality that was around at the time, which got the show some criticism from the censors.
