The show centres around Jerrica Benton, who by the help of the holographic computer Synergy, can project a hologram over her body to become the glamorous Jem. Most episodes involve Jem and her band mates, Kimber, Aja, Shana, and Raya battling against rival girlband, the Misfits who were made up of the cold-hearted Pizzazz, the tough-acting Roxy, and the humble Stormer. This rivalry is encouraged and manipulated by the Misfits manager, the ruthless Eric Raymond, who was the business partner of Jerrica's father. Eric ran Starlight Music after Jerrica's father's death however a falling out left the two bands as fierce rivals.Despite the fact that the show was originally designed by Hasbro for the purpose of marketing a line of dolls, it was acclaimed for its interweaving storylines and complex backstory, which were almost unheard of in an animated television series at the time. The show also features two-minute music videos, tying it in with the concept of MTV which at the time was growing increasingly in popularity. The animated series still retains a very loyal fan-following and to this day is still widely regarded as one of the finest cartoons!"The Transformers""Britney Spears Dance Beat""Hook""Clothestime""California Milk Advisory Board""Mr Pibb""Days Of Our Lives""KFC""Budwieser""SamSung""Mutual Bank Of Omaha""Karens Home From College" PSA"Date Rape" PSA"Suzies Deals""El Dorado""Meriadian Ford""Arnold Palmer""Pride Hyundai""Colorado Publishing Company""Estetica Salon""McDonalds""Payless Shoes"FUEL (Nashville, TN)THE TROUBADOR (Los Angeles CA)THE MINT (Los Angeles, CA) TANGIER (Los Angeles) GENGHIS COHEN (Los Angeles, CA) ROOM 5 (Los Angeles, CA) THE CROOKED BAR (Los Angeles, CA) ZEN (Silverlake, CA) THE LAVA LOUNGE (Hollywood, CA) HIGHLAND GROUNDS (Los Angeles, CA) THE VIPER ROOM (Los Angeles, CA) THE WHISKEY (Los Angeles, CA) 14 BELOW (Santa Monica, CA) SOHO RESTAURANT AND MUSIC CLUB (Santa Barbara, CA) STARBUCKS (Los Angeles, CA) THE LOS ANGELES CONVENTION CENTER(Los Angeles, CA) THE LOS ANGELES SPORTS ARENA (Los Angeles, CA) THE SHRINE AUDITORIUM (Los Angeles, CA) centerTHE LONG BEACH CONVENTION CENTER (Long Beach, CA) THE LONG BEACH TERRACE THEATER (Long Beach, CA) THE HOLLYWOOD PALLADIUM (Hollywood, CA) THE ANEHIEM CONVENTION CENTER (Anehiem, CA) WOLF TRAP FARM PARK (Virginia) THE DEPARTMENTAL AUDITORIUM -(Washington DC, VA) CEASERS PALACE (London, UK) HUBBA'S PUB (Denver, CO) FADO'S IRISH PUB (Denver, CO) PATRICK'S NIGHT CLUB (Denver, CO) G'DUCKS BAR & GRILLE (Denver, CO) SWEETWATER STATION (Denver, CO) TOWNHOUSE LOUNGE (Denver, CO) SIGNATURES (Denver, CO) THE SUPREME COURT NIGHTCLUB (Denver, CO)KIND, IMAGINATIVE, CREATIVE, GENTLE, OPINIONATED, OPENMINDED, FIERCE, WARM AND FUZZY, CLEVER, LOYAL, VULNERABLE , PASSIONATE, DIPLOMATIC, ANNOYING, TALENTED, INTERESTING IF YOU'RE NOT TOO SELF ABSORBED TO INVESTIGATE WHO I AM, MUSICAL EAR CANDY, GLASS HALF FULL, VERY NAUGHTY, COOPRATIVE, MATERNAL, SWEET NATURED, SPIRITUAL, GOOD LISTENER,DEEPER THAN YOU MAY THINK, SARCASTIC, RECOVERING PEOPLE PLEASER, COAST TO COAST WITH GEORGE NOREY LISTENER, PRO CHIROPRACTIC, COMPASSIONATE AS HELL BUT NOT A BLEEDING HEART, GRANDAUGHTER OF THE FIRST PILOT TO EVER SUCCESSFULY FLY OFF AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER, LOVE MY FEMALE EMPOWERED INDEPENDENDENCE BUT SECRETLY CRAVING TO BE ADORED AND TAKEN CARE OF, NEVER BEEN SPOILED BUT STARTING TO SPOIL MYSELF A BIT MORE THESE DAY'S, TENACIOUS , TERRIBLE SPELLER SO GET OVER IT, BRAVE, NEED TO TRUST MY INTUITION MORE, SENSITIVE, A PROUD WOMBLE, NOT NEARLY AS TALL AS PEOPLE THINK, LOVE GOOD MANNERS , LOVE THUNDERSTORMS AND EROTIC PHOTOGRAPHY, FOCUSED, FEMININE, LAZY, DRIVEN, WORKING ON GETTING A THICKER SKIN, MAC GIRL, SLEEPER'INNER, TIDY, LAST ONE PICKED FOR SPORTS TEAMS AT SCHOOL, GOT TO SKIP SCHOOL FOR ANNIE REHEARSALS, SELF CONSCIOUS, MOM WAS A BALLERINA, DAD A CHAMPION BALL ROOM DANCER, ONE OF 3 SISTERS, DISCIPLINED YEA, NO, NURTURING, SILLY, MOSTLY HAPPY."
