Jem, to this day, remains my all-time favorite cartoon. I've always loved the color pink and loved singing, so when that magnificent cartoon came out in the 80s and I heard Britta Phillips' lovely, angelic singing voice...I was like O...M...G.!
Even the pink DVD box set is gorgeous.
The bands on the show (Jem and the Holograms...The Misfits...The Stingers) had some really cool songs! The character Jerrica Benton is an incredibly good person, and she runs a foster home for girls. I'd say her only flaw is that she's keeping this big secret from her boyfriend Rio...that SHE is Jem. Rio's dilemma is that he finds himself in love with both his girlfriend Jerrica AND the glamorous Jem. The poor guy has no idea that they are the same person.
Those of us watching the show as adults are like
Seriously? No one noticed that Jem looks and sounds just like Jerrica Benton? LOL. Alrighty then...
Throughout the series there are moments when people are asking "who Jem really is" and "what's her real name." The only people who know her true identity are her band 'The Holograms'...and her computer and hologram projector named 'Synergy'.
Back then I also watched Scooby Doo (which I'd say was my second favorite cartoon), Inspector Gadget, Count Duckula, Denver The Last Dinosaur, etc.
I just recently got into the anime My Hero Academia because my son is into it. One day I was on my laptop, and noticed it was on the Hulu menu. So I decided to check it out, and ended up binge watching all five seasons. I'm excited to watch each new episode posted online weekly.
