![]() Sidebar: how do you suppose they avoided a lawsuit with the punk band that had been around 10 years prior to the show's debut? In any event, these 2 plot points intersect frequently, with both the Misfits and their manager Eric trying to discover the secret identity of Jem all the time. Keeping this secret, of course, becomes the central theme of most of the show, along with Jem's rival all-girl rock band, the not-so-cleverly titled Misfits. With the computer's help, Jerrica can quickly "change" into Jem via Synergy's ability to create the holographic illusion that Jerrica is then Jem, along with other illusions. She not only owns a music company, but also moonlights as the pop superstar Jem in "disguise" for some reason, so she enlists the help of a super computer (named Synergy) created by her father, who left it to her after dying of cancer. Jerrica is a well-to-do music publishing mogul, an early 20's American dream come true. ![]() I'll skip the long storyboard and just cover the essentials. That said, the only place I could watch this cartoon was at friends' houses. ![]() I think if my parents sat down and watched Jem, however, they would have realized that half the TV shows my younger brother and I watched had more violence, "adult" content, and "adult themes" than Jem. During the late 80s when Jem debuted, I was forbidden to watch it because it was all about "rock and roll" and of course, that was not something my parents wanted me having any part of. This entry might make me look like a big sissy, but I'm an 80s nerd, so humor me.
