This cartoon from your past makes no sense.
If you've ever re-watched a show or movie you loved as a kid, you know you're risking let-downed-ness. No one, as a grown-up, ever gets through a screening of Beethoven and goes, "Again!" It just goes to show you how much we really were comatose vegetables in front of a screen, soaking up demented plot lines and accepting pretty much anything as awesome. Nothing proves this more than Jem, the mid-'80s cartoon (and doll), which maintains a positive reputation of awesomeness with her Millennial audience. But how much do you actually remember about the show? Here, a refresher course.
Your adult mind is about to do a say whaaa?
The plot of show revolves around Jerrica Benton and her alter-ego, Jem, a singing sensation who can be conjured via hologram (more on that in a bit).
We open at some point in the future: Jem is a full-on celebrity and exiting a car to a crowd of fans. "I remember how it all began: with the unexpected death of my father," she says. Cue Wayne's World "doodley-doo" to the past.
