My cousin loved it when she was a little girl having had a tough childhood. I took her under my wing in a way as I was 17 years older. When ever she was in town we'd spend as much time as possible together. My Aunt (actually her grandmother) didn't want her to watch the show because it "promoted fame too much" but of course she had never watched it and only heard the theme song. My little cousin loved it so I checked it out and started taping them for her so she could watch it. My Aunt trusted me implicitly so never questioned what I gave her on the tapes. When it went off the air, she was devastated. I contacted the company that produced the novelties and they were kind enough to send her all sorts of merchandise, some "signed" by Jem which made her very happy. I just found out that Walmart has it on DVD. I watched the whole thing and now I understand certain things my cousin did, said or related to when she was a kid. She grew up to make me proud. She has 3 beautiful kids and is a Therapist. If you're interested in a unique cartoon series with the basis of compassion, kindness and more, it would be as relevant now as it was when it was on TV. Preteens and young adolescents would appreciate it. There may have to be some minimal things related to history perhaps that may need explaining but other than that, Go to Walmart on line! It may be on Amazon but I haven't checked.
