Blast From the Past Addition....

As I was looking up some clips and information about the show, I came across several links (including the show's wiki page) that mention the rights to Jem and the Holograms have been renewed so we may be seeing some new Jem merchandise out soon and maybe even a tv show or movie. I have to say that I am not sure how I feel about that. This was, afterall, one of my favorite shows. Part of the charm of Jem and other shows/movies from that era is they were so 80s. You can't really recapture what made an original show or movie great.... no matter how many times hollywood has tried over the past few years. I'm not saying never bring back any old show or movie period. I love watching the repeats- they bring back a lot of memories. All I am saying is let's try and come up with new. Let's do something different that future generations can look back on and remember fondly.

So let's go down memory lane... do you have a favorite episode or song from the show? Was there some other series that you loved? If so what was it? Share in the comments below! :)

Blast From the Past...

So I have been catching reruns of Jem lately on The Hub. It's a channel on DirecTV that plays a lot of 80's cartoon/kid's shows/sitcoms. They also have new version of some of these shows (like Tramsformers Prime). Here's the opener:



Being a huge music geek I used to love watching this in the mornings before school. I can't say much about the plotting/writing looking back on it, but still- lots of fun memories associated with this show. I remember they came out with dolls and most of them included tapes of the song. A Jem tape was, in fact, one of the first "real" tapes I ever bought with my own money. It included not only Jem songs, but hits from a bunch of 80's artists. Any other Jem and the Holograms fans out there? What other 80's shows did you love? Comment below- I'd love to read about them!
