Jem and The Holograms
 

Anyone else a fan of this strange(even for the 80's) animated series?

Any favorite music videos from the series?

I was there for it. But it came out when I was at an age where I would've rejected it as "a girls show". I respect it as a property though. It did it's thing and was an interesting idea amidst the excess of the 80's, for those of us who were there to understand it.

I enjoyed it. :lol:

Quite liked it when I was a kid. I watched a great deal of 'girls shows' in the day like Jem, Maxies' World, and Starla.

I know I watched it but aside from "hot chicks" I don't remember much at all.

I remember I was watching the crap out of it for like a month or two as a kid and then I never saw it again, ever.

True the series has "hot chicks" though it was hardly the only 80's cartoon that had that. Also had great music. Lets not forget it was one few 80's cartoons with character development especially most of the main antagonists.

Yes, it's one of my favourite 80s cartoons
as for favourite music videos probably Universal Appeal, Making Mischief and Welcome to the Jungle from the Misfits, and well there's a lot of music videos from Jem that I like but I especially enjoy "it all depends on the mood I'm in", "she's got the power" "something is missing" and "Nightmare".

I liked Maxie's world aswell but not as much as Jem, it was alright

I also liked "Universal Appeal" as well as "A Father Should Be", "Who is He Kissing", "Bad Influence", "Come On, The Water Is Fine", "Dear Diary", etc.

I would love a blu ray release for this one but I doubt that will ever happen since most(if not all) 80's cartoons don't have film stock to make a proper HD transfer.

I was still in the 'girls are icky' stage and the whole' wouldn't be caught dead watching a girls' cartoon' mindset.

Maybe if I was a year or so older I would have least have checked it out for the sake of checking out the girls.

The girls in Jem are indeed very gorgeous though, my pal chuck adores Pizazz

I did like the way Jem looked especially first make-up version. Kimber was second best looking but very fickle in relationships.

As for the Misfits, I always thought Stormer was the best looking one.

Another of my faves for sure, she’s truely outrageous lol

For an 80's cartoon, I think Jem was a pretty solid product. On the other hand, while I've never seen it in its entirety, I recall the live movie did historically bad at the box office.

As most live action movies based on cartoons do, specially in this day and age. Nothing can ever top the original, yet companies like Disney insist on ruining what once was by making utterly craptastic live action remakes. Next up apparently for them is LA remake of “How to Train Your Dragon” ffs Disney enough already, end of rant lol :lol:

I would prefer we all forget about the live action movie and just remember the show.

Universal and DreamWorks owns How to Train Your Dragon.

Ditto

Not my point but thanks for the correction, appreciate :D

Is this show on streaming or TV?

Not so far which sucks

Well at least it isn't in rights hell.

Don’t jump up and down and say “whoop whoop” as of yet my friend :lol:

What? Have you heard something?

Well no I just mean that could be the actual reason

Good, glad to hear that...

haha, ye sometimes i'm not very clear in wording

That is everyone, we forget that people can't see our facial expressions or hear our voices to see if we are serious, joking, etc when we are posting online.

Exactly correct

I do wish that the animated movie wasn't cancelled because of the Transformers and G.I. Joe movies doing badly.

Did they really do that bad? I hadn’t actually heard on account I was too young when they originally came out. They have since kinda became cult like with fans over time

Well there was a lot of backlash for the Transformers movie over character deaths plus it's failure at the box office. I don't think they even released the G.I. Joe movie in theaters plus they added that dialog that Duke survived since they were going to kill him but because of the Transformers backlash. The Jem and the Holograms movie was in the planning stage. I remember Christy Marx talked about what the movie was going to be about.

Oh I totally get all of that, makes sense. Too bad the whole “bring Optimus back from the dead” arc was soo stupid

Yeah, don't get me started on that arc.

As for Jem and Holograms at least the last episode was kind of a series finally.

Tbh, I didn’t ever watch the show til its conclusion. Not because I didn’t like it, it’s because I don’t think we had access to all the eps up here in Canada, much like a lot of the older 80s/90s cartoons

Well at least you got to see it, it's not like the show is as well known as Transformers or G.I. Joe.

Didn’t stop em from making a live action attempt. Which I didn’t care to see because I knew it would be total crap

Yeah, don't get me started on the live action version.

That my friend we agree on lol

I really wish we got a good live action movie.
