These truly, truly, truly outrageous adventures of a music company owner who uses a holographic computer to live a secret life as a rock star originally aired from 1985-88, but are fondly remembered by those who grew up during the series' initial run (or still have the Hasbro dolls and accessories tucked away in their closets). Jerrica Benton runs Starlight Music, but she's also the pink-haired lead singer of Jem and the Holograms, a pop-music girl group with really big dos and funky fashions that only the 1980s could dream up. Over the course of 65 episodes, these rockin' ladies belt out musical numbers and battle the schemes of nasty industry executive Eric Raymond and a rival female band, the Misfits.

Noel Murray AV Club 05/01/2019
A cartoon that combined femme-friendly doses of fashion, pop music, and sisterhood with cliffhanging adventure, Jem appealed just as much to the first adolescent MTV generation as it did to preteens. Go to Full Review William Young Black Nerd Problems 05/01/2019
The beauty of Jem and the Holograms is already in its name in plain view. Jem is a true gem of the 80s, a true diamond in the rough, a truly outrageous adventure from start to finish that everyone can take part in. Go to Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media 05/01/2019
3/5
This "truly, truly, truly outrageous" rock band is steeped in glitz, glamour, and fashion, and although modern girls might challenge the teens' dated style, they'll enjoy coming along for the ride on their many adventures. Go to Full Review Bill Gibron DVDTalk.com 05/01/2019
4/5
Instead of being hopelessly dated and directly linked to its toy line, Jem today remains a wonderfully evocative and energetically entertaining show that captures a place and an era that has all but vanished from the pop culture scene. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
