It was an animated series jointly produced by the Hasbro toy company, Sunbow Entertainment animation studio, and Marvel Productions, associated with Marvel Comics. Just look for the shiny, glittery box! What Exactly Is Jem? Probably best known for its earwig of a theme song (“It’s truly, truly, truly outrageous!”), Jem and the Holograms holds a unique place in animation history, is of interest to comic book historians, and has a truly dedicated fanbase - how many other long-defunct cartoon shows have their own annual convention? It’s also an incredibly influential show, having ties to both music and fashion, an extremely collectible toy line, and most likely inspired a generation of young viewers into creative careers like animation, illustration, writing, music, fashion, or possibly even philanthropy.įirst airing in syndication in 1985, and eventually running for three seasons (65 episodes), Jem and the Holograms - after several false starts - is now totally available on DVD in an 11-disc collector’s set as Jem and the Holograms: The Truly Outrageous Complete Series - as well as a four-disc set of the complete First Season, both from Shout! Factory.
