Season 2
Jem stars in Howard Sands' new movie, part of the prize she and the Holograms won in the Battle of the Bands. But Pizzazz convinces her father to buy the movie studio making the film and give ownership to Eric who quickly seizes control of the film and adds the Misfits to the cast. Eric places the focus of the film on the Misfits and Jem and the Holograms are relegated to supporting roles. Finally fed up with the Misfits' disruptive behavior, Jem and the Holograms, along with Video, quit the movie. But Jerrica receives shocking news about Starlight Girl Ba Nee, who has been diagnosed with a rare optical condition that will leave her blind within a matter of months.
Season 3
Problems affect Jem & The Holograms when Shana leaves to pursue a fashion career. The Holograms decide to host a Talent Search to find a new drummer. News of this spreads like fire which also catches the attention of The Misfits. The Misfits decide to upstage the Talent Search by adding a new Misfit: a hot-tempered saxophone player from England named Jetta. After so many disastrous auditions, the Holograms choose two finalists: A shy, but talented young woman named Carmen Alonzo (nicknamed Raya by her father) and a keen drummer named Craig Phillips. Soon, Raya accidentally discovers Jem's real identity and Eric Raymond attempts to bribe Raya into revealing Jem's identity.

Well...I loved this, at least as a child. I honestly haven't found a copy of this to watch as an adult...so I can't tell you if it stands the test of time like G.I. Joe does...or if it fails to hold the love like Brave Starr did.
But, I do remember thinking that this was MTV for kids. Or at least it was what the cool kids watched. It was part New Wave and part children's adventure cartoon. So, it sort of gets the love from two ways.
And even my father described it as "The Runaways meets Kiss." which was a little before my time as a child...but everyone loves The Runaways so he couldn't have meant it in a bad way.
