And no, not "Rock of Love Bus" snark (which I still intend to do). But I'm finally sitting myself down to do some snarking of my absolute favorite cartoon ever!




About freaking time, I say!

So I put the first disc of the DVD set in my player to settle down and start watching, because frankly (for the purpose of the groups I post in), I need to get reacquainted with the show. And what bothers the living crap out of me is that for the VERY FIRST EPISODE, they have replaced the original "Jem is truly outrageous!" theme song with that "Me and my friends are Jem girls" crap. You know, the non-gender specific one. My inner six-year-old is dying. This was NOT the original theme song, for crying out loud.

Oh hell. Here's the original theme song. If Rhino was going to do something, they could've at least done it right, you'd think:



Now is it me, or did the animation in the opening sequence alone seem better than the actual show animation? Big deal, when I was a kid, I wasn't paying attention to that stuff. I'd be running home after school because "OMG! JEM'S ON!" and turn on channel 9 (WGN) and plop my butt down in front of the TV to get my fill because I CAN'T MISS THE THEME SONG!!!! That theme song is EVERYTHING! You know why? Because Jem is outrageous. Truly, truly outrageous.

Anyway, let's get to the actual show. Read more... )

The first "pissy Rio moment" in the show, I LOVE IT! Read more... )

Jerrica's all, "What the crap IS this?!" Read more... )

Roxy: "So what? We're the Misfits!"
Stormer: "You can't tell us what to do!"
Pizzazz: "Stay out of my way, or else!"
Jerrica: "Or else what?"

Or else they'll break into song, that's what! Read more... )

Jerrica just got pwned. Read more... )

It's the ghost of Christmas past! Read more... )

So she introduces herself and the band as Jem and the Holograms. Wowee. Original. *slow golf clap* Read more... )Who's da man?Read more... )

Man, it'd be something if life was like this. Everyone erupts into a music video when you get in the middle of a conversation. Read more... )

STAY TUNED FOR THE RECAP OF "DISASTER"! Until then, stay outrageous!
