5.0 out of 5 stars Episode list and more, July 16, 2004

By

This review is from: Jem - Season 3, Part 1 (DVD)

It is so awesome the Rhino is giving us another Jem DVD in 2004. Like they did with the Transformers and some of their other series they are splitting this up as Season 3-part 1. No Stingers and it ends before the "Hollywood Jem" episodes. I suppose it keeps the price low and gives fans something to wait for. Lets just hope the remaining episodes come out before the year is over.

I can't really see why to end the set after the episode #48 "Mardi Gras." The episode "Out of The Past" is so awesome (this is the Jacki Benton episode which gives a lot of background info on the Holograms and Jerrica's background. But I suppose it gives the next set a nice starting foundation. As a big Jem fan, #49 "Out of the Past," #50 "Britrock" and #51 "Journey Through Time" don't really fit with the "Hollywood Jem" and true season 3 episodes with The Stingers. So I would have included those episodes with this set.Also, the episodes early in this set are some of the wacky animation episodes-like "The Presidential Dillima."

Other highlights of this set include the introduction of Craig Phillips (Stormers Brother), Raya becomes the new drummer, Kimber and Stormer team up for a musical career in "The Bands Break Up," Danse becomes temporarily paralyzed, and Roxie throws a huge bash although secretly struggling with illiteracy.

As seen in some of the earlier episodes like "The Music Awards" Jem as a series tackles real life social issues-illiteracy, drug abuse, sensitivity towards people with disabilities, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars for Jem, 0 Stars for Rhino, September 15, 2005

This review is from: Jem - Season 3, Part 1 (DVD)

Both Rhino Jem releases are now out of print, and there are no plans to release the last part of season 3. Rhino lost the rights to Jem to Sony Music. Who knows when we'll get the rest of the show. Now I may never get to see the Stinger episodes...

If you are looking for more updates on the status of Jem, check out tv shows on dvd dot com. They don't sell anything, but they get a lot of news regarding television show releases.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Set Needs to Be Completed!!, May 3, 2005

By 

Ashley "conga1985" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jem - Season 3, Part 1 (DVD)

The first two sets are awesome and I would love for the set to be completed. A few people at the Truly Outrageous message board have e-mailed Rhino regarding the final release and there's good news and bad news. First the bad news, Rhino said in their response that they no longer have the rights to Jem and the rest of the Sunbow shows. But here's the good news, Sony now owns the rights and Rhino said that they (Sony) plan to reissue the titles at some point. Personally, I don't care who owns the rights just as long as the DVD collection is complete.

And another reviewer mentioned that there were some typos in the Jem Bible. I heard that the Jem Bible was more of Christy Marx's rough draft to show Hasbro when she was approached to develop the show to go with the doll line. Evidently some things were changed or taken out all together when the show actually started production. So that's why some of the things in the Jem Bible are a bit different than what we see in the actual show (what's on the DVD extras are just excerpts from the full version which used to be on sale until Sunbow (or Hasbro, I forget which) asked Christy Marx to stop selling copies).
