The complete set of Superstar clips which are public service announcements found at the end of various episodes. Rhino had them as an extra, Shout had them placed at the proper location.
I remember watching all these PSAs at the end of the Jem and The Holograms and i watched every episode from 1985-1988. Every morning before i went to school, i watched Jem at 7 A.M This was when cartoons taught you wrong from right and had a lesson. I loved growing up in the 80s. I still watch the reruns
“Who was that?” “I don’t know she said our parents were hurt” “Your parents are safe at home, never listen to a stranger…now get in my car and I’ll take you to them.”
That's pretty much what the animated version of Danger Dolan (of YT fame) DOES FOR A LIVING! Think Pizzazz (never forget the 4 "z's" when describing her) being Danger Dolan...
The first one is very accurate because all it takes to get preteen boys to stop doing something stupid is to have a pretty woman show them attention and they just get too confused and leave.
My aunt wouldn't let my young second cousin watch the cartoon till I showed her these. She was old world Italian and was terrified that she would become rebellious, promiscuous, into drugs, yadda, yadda. I taped the episodes for my cousin after checking out a few episodes and since my aunt for some reason trusted my opinion implicitly, she finally let her watch the show but she kept all the tapes I made for her and now that she has grown up, she purchased the DVD set for her kids so they would learn the morals from the same show she loved so much. She never got into any of the things her grandmother (who raised her) was worried about has 3 beautiful kids and became a family counselor. I loved that the story had the look of the punk bands of the 80's but had the basis of doing good, having compassion, the band primarily used the money to care for foster kids...you get the picture. I called it, affectionately, Candy Punk because of the positive messages it promoted and the PSA's like these were the icing on the cake as far as my aunt was concerned when I was convincing her that my cousin could only benefit from the series. It was a great idea to have a show with the girl power angel too. I recall a Barbie that once said, "Math is hard!" and I thought, great move...lets just make all girls feel like having the double X chromosomes means they must be stupid. My guess was that someone with a Y chromosome had the idea to make a doll so popular with little girls say something so destructive to their self confidence! Then again, that was decades ago. Thankfully that's not an idea that's pushed AS hard on girls these days.
When the one kid said "now we know the right thing to do" I want Flint to pop up and say "and knowing is half the battle, sorry Jem its just a better catchphrase."
3:32 I remember seeing the same thing from a transformers PSA. In that version, the car they hit turns into Red Alert, who then does the rest of the short.
Aside from the first one, all the others had one Starlight girl, as well as Jem is very important to the kids community and is a well known star with an excellent reputation, so even in the first one, they knew her, so not really.
Otaking Mikohani They were included as extras on the 2004 DVD since that was made from the 35mm film. The 2011 DVD has them in the exact placement since they used the broadcast tapes of the episodes. Commercials for new episodes, coming next, next week... are normally never included with episodes for TV shows. I agree with you they are very fun for Jem.
So many of our shows had lessons. Now the shows my son watches the kids are lying, stealing, beating the shit out of people, bullying, and there is no lesson. The episode ends and they get away with it all. It's troubling and now I started him watching older shows with me to bond and we talk about things.
Some actually did....there was a crossover appeal to Jem & The Holograms when the show was on originally. Hell, I saw some brief clips of that show when it was on the Atlantic Satellite Network in Atlantic Canada(Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada to be specific) when they aired it there(though I felt like wanting to yank Pizzazz and Roxy out of my TV and kick the shit out of them for being cunts, but that's another story XD). By the way, the above channel was abbreviated ASN, but is now called CTV Two Atlantic. It's owned by a company called Bell Media, a part of Bell Canada Enterprises. CTV Two Atlantic is based at 2885 Robie St., in Halifax, Nova Scotia, while CTV's national operations are based in Toronto, Ontario, at 9 Channel Nine Court in that city's Scarborough region. Just some info for you if you want to Google StreetView those places for yourself. XB
That wasn't a thing until the 90s. I actually wanted one (cause I thought elbow and knee pads were kinda badass...I was a geek) but my folks wouldn't spring for it.
See back then cartoons like THIS ONE used to be educational and set good examples with their PSA messages like those, but now it's just not quite like that anymore in most cartoons of today and really that's not good at all
Poor Flint. He is a Army Warrant Officer and a member of G.I.Joe but the pay is so low that he has to moonlight as a security guard at an amusement park to make ends meet.
I've seen the one with that girl whos name starts with a D and Ashley, the one with Ashley and that girl who thought about lying, and the one about riding at night.
I remade all of the "Jem" PSA's to GoAnimate. You should check out my channel for all of my stuff that I remade. I will do all of my "Best of 'Jem' PSA" remakes in the future.
