This may seem weird but I'm a guy and I actually love Jem! The beautiful music and gorgeous animation done by the same people behind Transformers and GI Joe! Back in the 80s, they knew how to make shows that both boys and girls could enjoy! Heck, I even watched My Little Pony!Jem is such a glorious show that I'm glad some generations are still enjoying to this day!

@@LowellLucasJr. Not weird at all. The show was created with the same action as G.I. Joe and Transformers, so boys would like it, watch it, and keep the channel on snd their sisters would be introduced to the doll line.

Love it ❤❤❤ Jem ran from 1985 to 1988, its was 4 years after the start of MTV. Her original name was M and was going to air on MTV. With the M theme song playing in regular video rotation. A Hasbro employee told me MTV backed out of the deal and Hasbro scrambled to come up with a new name at the very last minute. The animator who worked on the opening theme said Hasbro backed out to get a larger audience. 39 years ago (1985,) Jem started as 15 segments with other shows like Robotix, Big Foot and the Muscle Machines, and Inhumanoids on Super Sunday. Jem was made to advertise the dolls to the sisters, but have the action adventure was to hold the brother’s attention so they would not change the channel. Statistically it was the boys that were controlling the television and what was being watched. That format made it an extremely popular show, but didn’t help with the sales of the dolls. Hasbro changed up the theme song to “Jem Girl!” in 1987, to try to refocus efforts in using the cartoon to sell dolls. The doll line was cancelled late 1987, the cartoon continued until May 1988 to help push clearance sale dolls. The cartoon got new life on the USA Network from 1988-1992, but after that Jem just vanished until 2011. Check out the Barbie episode of the Toys That Made Us on Netflix, Mattel found out about Jem in November of 1985, spent 16 hours developing Barbie and the Rockers and got her to market before Jem. I asked Judy about the Jem box being pulled out of the trash and she denies it. So there is no proof of that. But I am the person who was told that story by one Hasbro employee and another Hasbro employee seemed to remember something about that same Asia tradeshow. 😂 The representation in the Holograms is one of the most amazing things about the dolls and the cartoon, especially at the time. And especially in the first year of the toy, that usually happened in the second or third year of a toy line. It’s interesting that the Jem doll box had that representation on it and the Rockers mysteriously had the identical representation. It makes you wonder. Of course, Mattel and Hasbro also use the same toy factories and employees often go over and check to see how the quality is of the lines that they’re working on. The best part is that Mattel used that model of having an African-American and seemingly Asian American friend for Barbie in almost every line, until all the dolls are Barbie. Jem was the major cultural shift in the doll aisle.

AHHHH, thank you so much for the love!! It’s so interesting to hear about the background of the show, especially about the dolls. Representation was one of the main things that drew me to the show, so seeing such a diverse cast was amazing. It’s also great to hear from fans of the Jem brand and get some behind-the-scenes intel!💞

@@pan2dapan that was from an article that suggested that the corporate lawyers for Hasbro said that they cannot use the letter M, because of copyright. It would a trademark issue, not a copyright issue. And it’s not really an issue, it’s more like layers of trademark protection. And how much protection do you want. The same paragraph from that article also suggested that Hasbro switched the Holograms from being male to female because they found out about Barbie and the Rockers being female. Mattel only found out about Jem in November of 1985 and Hasbro had prototypes of the female M and Holograms that have model numbers that date them back to November 1984 - a full year before the Rockers were designed.

@@ShalomOnyx I thought about it later, a cool thing you might’ve missed. Ford and Anne both came up with a version for each song. The episode writers in California would send a script outline and a description of what the song should be to New York City. Barry would come up with some lyrics, and both Anne and Ford would come up with a version. Ford would make a demo of each version and they would ship a cassette with both versions of each song back to California for the writers to decide which version to go with. Then the chosen version would have to be recorded in New York City. And then the dialogue for the episode would be recorded in California. The amount of back and forth between the two coasts was insane, and did not happen on any other show. And it was pre-Internet, there is a very rudimentary file transfer system back then. And that’s before everything was shipped off to Asia to be animated.

I grew up on Jem, my cousins and I would always watch Jem together. I had the Jem doll my cousins had a couple of dolls and the roadster, so we would reenact things we saw in the show. Stormer and Kimber leaving their groups to form their own group was my favorite episode. I loved Stormer's brother as Aja's love interest as well. Also Shana's storyline about being torn between Jem and the Fashion industry. The storylines were fire. I would also watch Transformers and hearing Arcee's VA was the same for Stormer made me love Stormer even more.

born 20 years after the era it was released but my first contact with the show was on a dvd which had the episode where she lost her earrings on a train. uk discount stores used to box up random episodes of kids shows together in dvd for cheap so my mom must of bought it. watching it now, i wish the stingers had more screentime, you didnt mention them in your video but they bought a lot of life to the show and riot's backstory was so progressive for the time. ive actually been wearing silver star earrings for 2 years now inspired by jem now lol.

I used to watch Jem and the Holograms on The Hub when I was younger and instantly fell in love! I asked my mom about the show if she remembered any of it because she’s an 80’s kid and she said no, which was shocking to me! I also loved Jem’s diversity, the bright colored hair, I also grew up with Hannah Montana so of course I loved the similar concept as well, except without the magic earrings. I also have seen some Jem memes here and there so that was funny that it was able to kind of break through niche memes into the mainstream. I could go on and on, but I just love this show sm, and as soon as I saw someone do a video on it, I clicked right away!

@7:00 YES-agreed; I never watched the series but remember Jem fondly as a compelling, dazzling, and timely series that captured the mid-80s fashion, music, and lifestyle vibe to a tee. I didn't realize the diversity in this series. Blacks and people of color were in cartoons but not all of them, and it seemed that Jem was savvy on inclusivity before it was a thing. Side note-your microphone audio is in stereo in some parts but starts off as left-channel only-something to check out with your mic cable, the mic itself, or the port you have your mic plugged into. Thank you for the wonderful videos! Love that

My mom got me into Jem, as she grew up in the 80s. I actually went as Roxy for Halloween several years ago. Additionaly, Rio was a POC. He's Brazilian. Also, the diversity wasnt even limited to POC. Even a lot of the white characters were diverse. We had: Hungarian-American Jewish (Pizzazz, in the comics they confirmed her to be Jewish), Croatian-American (Danse) who are rare Slavs who aren't just the "evil communist spy" trope, Italian-American (Roxy), British (Jetta), and side characters who are French, Welsh-American (Riot), German (Minx, another group who only gets shown in war movies as evil N*zis). And also diverse in terms of having foster sisters, and Roxy who is disabled (illiterate). Jem is just diverse in so many ways that even to this day blows my mind. Jem was a cartoon where many nationalities, ethnicities, and other types of ppl could be seen, including lesser represented groups that are often left out of talks regarding lack or or poor representation like disabled people, Germans, Slavs, Welsh. If they could decide if Aja was Chinese or Japanese though, that was a problem.

as a Certified Old, i think Jem out did Barbie in everyway, except for the most important - the dolls. mattel had sheer dominance in everything fashion doll, they were in their prime and hasbro, or any other toy company that wanted to be in the fashion doll space, just could not even get to even touch barbie's level. as much as i also enjoy the rockers, mattel really didn't have to try with them to be successful, they lobbed a couple of animated specials out there. the music was good, but like most of the rockers (and the sensations, the slight rebrand for the second animated special) songs were just covers of already popular songs. but the dolls and barbie's own enormous name gave them the edge.

It was a great show, though I did have two big issues with it: 1. Jerrica/Rio/Jem was an awful love triangle, due to the fact that sometimes Jerrica and Rio were dating, while other times they weren't, but Jerrica still expected his loyalty despite pursuing him as Jem even when he tried to turn her down. Keeping Jerrica and Rio as friends who aren't ready to put an "official" label on it would be a lot better, allowing Rio to date around and Jerrica to not be hypocritical. 2. The show had a really weird thing about driving home that Kimber was the youngest member. Even when she has a legitimate point to make, she acts dramatically and emotionally (ie when she told off Jerrica for trying to talk her out of getting married), and is shown to be very naive and childish. In any case, I really hope this show gets an animated reboot (set in the 80s or modern-day; I'm cool with either), ans that it DOESN'T take a lot of influence from the IDW comic.

Okay I’m gonna make this brief cause I made a comment on a jem song then stumbled upon this video this show is great I watched it I when it was on Netflix and was IN LOVE and I was over the moon when I heard they were going to make a movie ( which you didn’t talk about but you should make a separate video on because…) but the movie was absolutely the hardest watch of my life and I was born in 2000 so there wasn’t many other girls around me watching jem and knowing about the jem movie but HOLY HELL was that movie friggin horrible I watched it once right then again maybe 8 years later and it was just a horrible or even worse then the first time I watched it but I randomly feel like it’s time to rewatch the series jem absolutely blew my mind and I love to see that this video is recent and many girls are watching your video lord of fun facts I never knew about as well 💜💖❤️‍🔥to my girlies turning 25 or around that age please tell me HOW DID YOU DISCOVER JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS I’d love to hear the story 💜

Gen x knows this show very well and it will never be forgotten, that’s why it was pulled from movie theaters when that horrible Jem movie was made. Gen x was like hell no! 😂😂😂 No offense to the actors because those poor girls didn’t know what they were getting into when they signed on to make it.

Jem was wild! WILD! Watch the show! Y'all missing out of the messy action! Every episode had a life or death catastrophe! And Jem is just messy! Truly Truly Outrageous! Examples: -Pizazz used a lazer gun to draw a moustache on Jem's face on her billboard ad while mid-air on a hang glider -they named the Vietnamese orphan girl, Bahn Minh (S1E14! and the final episode of the series S312)-the Vietnamese sandwich! It's like naming a kid Cheeseburger. -S1E14 the girls for some petty reason ran away causing a social worker to put Starlight orphanage at risk of closing. When the runaway girl brats meet a real homeless kid he was like, "Wow! You lived in a mansion with food? I guess they must have treated you really badly". "Actually, no" said the girls. "You must be the dumbest girls I've ever met!" bwahahahahaha! -Misfits had a functionally illiterate member who they mocked for not being able to read her contract and know where to sign it. "Look it's even upside down!" "Are you gonna sign it with an X too?" they derided. -the Misfit's company nearly blew up the Startlight mansion for orphans TWICE -one of the girls at the Mansion got high on drugs and jumped out a 4 story window of this very tall mansion! -Jem keeps toying with her manager who has a crush on Jerrica and her altar ego Jem and he has no idea it's the same person! And she has the nerve to be one to feel torn! -but yeah it was pretty much more violent than GI Joe and Transformers and laughably flew under the radar because it was the 80s and a girly girl show and the Million Moms concerned club wasn't invented yet until Power Rangers came out

How is it that Jerrica and the holograms treat Jem as a separate person when it's just Jerrica in a holographic wig. The truth is Jerrica has always been Jem in terms of her outgoing and fun loving personality but Jerrica is just so busy with her responsibilities she never has time to have fun except when she says her iconic catchphrase: Showtime Synergy

The show was never underrated at all. The problem is that they never made a cartoon movie.

yes Jem and the holograms is awesome they really butchered it in the comics they really woke it and they took away the orphanage and all that and the movie was just a band name Jem in the holograms nothing magical or outrageous and it got canceled so I want to know if those any scripts of a conclusion does Rio get to know that Jim Angelica the same people in The misfits being a better person and getting along with Jim you know shaking hands becoming friends like I would love to know what the script was when it got canceled like what was the plans if it wasn't canceled that would be awesome to know
