6/26/2023 0 Comments Jem and the holograms dvd box set![]() 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. But Jem, Kimber, Aja and Shana managed to figured out a way - through some very talented people behind the scenes - to transcend their demographically accurate marketing strategy and become something of an anomaly in the standard Madison Avenue kid's show carnival. After all, it was based on a line of dolls from Hasbro and initially conceived mainly as a crass commercial tie in. About as pre-fab as the Monkees, this half-hour hit parade could have been a crass business bungle. Fans of flesh and blood combos can argue all they want for the Go-Gos superiority or the Bangles, but when it comes to the queens of pen and ink performance, no one can hold a hand drawn candle to the collection of creative musicians known as Jem and the Holograms. Whenever the great girl groups of the rock and roll era are discussed, one animated band always seems to get shortchanged.
