yeah. I'll admit these 80s cartoons are great despite most of them recycling the same body type for each attractive male and female character I still love them. I just started watching Jem and the holograms and I love them. And the music. I love the eighties culture of Los Angeles, especially the wild voluminous hair.
The music. The magic. The drama. The romance. The action. The beautiful animation. Jem was/is a gem 💎 of a cartoon. VERY one of a kind! It STILL resonates with so many of us especially us 80s kids who grew up watching it! ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm from a country where we'd only see this aired on either Saturday mornings or Thursday afternoons. And of course there wasn't a consistency with the episodes either. There having a movie and dolls is a shock to me at this point. But honestly if this cartoon was as popular as it appears to be, then that would be expected. You remember Saturday morning cartoons? That was such a magical time back then.
@@josephclegg3562 true, but I like how it ended. All the bands were featured, season two and three fleshed out characters more. I like the Roxy Rumble episode, the Kimber and Stormer episode, and the Brit Rock episode. They really took time to show us the characters background and personalities. I love Jem and the Holograms
If you think about it, Jerrica made Rio a two timer, because he was in love with both Jerrica and Jem and didn't even know they were both one in the same. Lol
yes and it’s kinda sad how she never fought him for it bc she felt guilty, rio has always been my least favorite character, hates lies but is a cheater lol (even if they’re the same person, he doesn’t knows that, so it’s still cheating)
@@gabbie3404 Rio had issues with anger, secrecy and lies that were never explained in the series. Christy Marx said she was surprised at how many people disliked his character.
If you look, at this show, Jem is actually a soap opera in cartoon form. What Rio was doing was what was seen, on the soap operas, at the time and still is.
Wow this is the first time I've seen Jem and the Holograms on You Tube! Where did the time go with us growing up so darn fast? This is the first time we are introduced to Jem and the Holograms . We are watching our favorite memories of our favorite Jem and the Holograms stories.
Had to wait nearly 30 years for Full episode footage of this series. The Bands break up was lost to me til someone started uploading our beloved jem series episodes
Thanks for posting this! It's a very interesting edit and it is written so well that it has continuity throughout the story! The clever idea of putting clips into the music videos of the previous action in the show ties it together well. I know the first five episodes by heart as they were broadcasted so I caught the different lines in this one! I also got more insight to the jokes that were cut short too. Odd how this edit contains some extended moments... the big one being the screaming Jem impersonators vs the screaming Misfit impersonators in the crowd outside the battle of the bands venue. In the televised version you see the ruckus briefly and I remember rewinding it and watching it over and over again confused - were they really Jem and the Misfits outside the venue screaming at each other? Glad to know the mystery is solved!
The screaming outside the concert where just reused character designs, animation takes a lot of time and money and it would of been easier to reuse the character designs then design an entire new cast of characters who only appear for a few minutes.
Jem and the Holograms : The beginning is how Jem and the Holograms became a group. There are so many exciting stories for families and friends to share.
This was one of my fav things on the world as a kid. My cousin had a few of the dolls (she's 5 years older than me) and let me trade her Barbies for them. They may still be in my childhood storage but idk, i hope so!!! Also thanks so much for sharing this! My old vhs molded and croaked a long time ago.
i feel like Jerrica should have told rio at some point that she was jem. they could have brought in a new character to the jem circle that they need to keep the secret from to keep that element in the story. like inthe form of a new manager for jem and the holograms. Jerrica wants to step down from the manager position of the group to just focus on being jem.
👌 with Synergy appearing for the 1st time in the bedroom there was actually 2 images of her that was shown back then. (Jerrica says "There's nothing there" moment) One you have the oringal. The other was A see thru version of Synergy. I am happy you have the oringal.
Yeah. But this is just as great 👍. I remember a website before going over the different versions of Jem. Never thought I’d find the movie version on RU-vid ever. Even the music is switched around.
@@b-ryemendez8335 the Super Sunday version is the original which got turned into this aka the movie. Only difference between both is that the background music is different between scenes and the songs in the super Sunday version are shorter than what they are in the movie. Also in the super Sunday version, the Misfits perform "Takin' It All" before Jem & The Holograms arrive at Starlight drive in whereas in this version, "Takin' It All" is performed after Jem & The Holograms arrive at Starlight drive in. These two for me are the best versions of the first five episodes. The remastered version was terrible
I have an obsessive crush on Eric Raymond! He and Jerrica Benton are the only reasons I watch the show nowadays. I'm almost 50, and this is my favorite show.
@@ashleyworden1887I don't see that happening, but I liked Eric. I thought that he made a fantastic villain! Jem was such a soap opera in cartoon form.
Fans of Jem and the Holograms can relive their favorite memories on the Tubi tv app, You Tube. Jem and the Holograms are still truly outrageous in 2023! Jem and the Holograms have inspired so many generations of people of all ages and backgrounds.
Watching this I notice right away you included parts that was edit out later due to time spots. Depending on the network that was playing full episodes
👌 13:11 part missing one of the holograms says "gonna take more than a hologram to get us out of this" thus by jerrica having Synergy appear and explain that Yes she can project sound as well as image. (Creating a holographic projection of JEM that talks to flag down Rio)
That's something that Christy Marx (showrunner and writer of the scripts) should have thought about. A writer for a more intended-for-adults show would've actually figured it out, as it'd still be part of Mary Stormer's character.
Rhino's version differs the most at the end (no 3rd season, episodes 53-65). The biggest difference is any version that has any of the Super Saturday / Sunday cut episodes vs. the whole ones. No version had the colors totally right (check Pizzazz's hair color, for example; should've been Highlighter Neon Yellow, as in the Integrity dolls).
I guess after the J&TH won the additional scenes we saw before credits were Written and drawn in later. (Eric is out of jail sneaks back to the Starlight Office to collect "his personal processions" from what used to be his desk. "Why aren't you in jail?" " Amazing what lawyers can do if you pay them enough" "And what are you taking out of my office" "Personal Processions" smacks jerrica "Raymond!" 😏😁 👊 I sorta like the part where Rio slugs Eric. 😏 "Something personal to remember me by" 🤦 😎 of course that version ends the episode with a kissing moment between Jerrica and Rio seen thru the tower window. That photo evidence of Synergy Eric took with him will be seen later again in the series. It's when the Group goes to Washington. 💁 "Presidential Dilemma" Which actually is the another time Synergy gets taken apart. Transport her to DC. Put her back together. Just be Taken apart again to be studied by government officials.
(Aja tells Kimber don't get so bent out of shape) While in Paris didn't kimber storm off somewhere. Then Shana or Aja goes after her offering her advice. ? I remember that part in a Paris setting.
VHS recorded from tv I caught ROXY the one showing a tear instead of STORMER. sadly that 80's taped evidence was destroyed with the passage of time and The VCR head Eating the Film. EDIT : HEY You have the Original footage ! Yesss!
WOW COOL MOVIE, CAN YOU MAKE JEM MOVIE PART 2 WHERE RAYA COMES IN AND PART 3: FINAL PERFORMANCE WHERE THE STINGERS COME IN? GOOD THING I GOT FIVE DOLLS RAYA, AJA, SHANA, KIMBER & OF COURSE JEM.
@@cloverflower2820 I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN AN EPISODE BUT TELL YOU WHAT I CAN MAKE A MUSIC VIDEO WITH MY DOLLS AS WELL, GOOD THING I GOT THE FASHION ROYALTY JEM I HAD TO MAKE THE HOLOGRAMS BY USING 3 BARBIE DOLL HEADS AND 3 FASHION ROYALTY DOLL BODIES AND I ALSO BOUGHT A FASHION ROYALTY DOLL SO REMADE KIMBER WITH A LITTLE MAKEOVER I'M GONNA TRY MAKING A DRUM SET FOR RAYA. SEE YOU SOON
@@rosemarywage9917 Whatever you make I'll watch it... I was also looking for clips here on RU-vid. Apparently Jem gave Barbie s run for her money at one point...🤣🤣🤣 So they made a Barbie and The Rockers to compete for sales. It was cool to see Jem having a huge speaker box that transforms into a wardrobe ♥️💛💚💜💙🖤 I suppose doll collectors back in that time will have every one that was created.
