    NOOOOOOOOOOOO. MAKE IT STOP. I'm still recovering from that Rainbow Brite abomination you guys posted the other day. Go find some new ideas, Hasbro. #jemcomback

    @Ipomoea: One of my friends bought the DVDs right when they came out when we were seniors in college. I watched the first 3 hours worth in one night, and it was wonderful. I mean, yeah, I'm not 7 anymore, but I still loved it. I want the whole set for myself (*updates Christmas wishlist*). #jemcomback

    Technically isn't Hannah Montana the contemporary take on this?

    I really, really don't want Jem re-done. I've sat idly by when other paragons of my youth were denigrated in contemporary re-tellings...let Jem's original badassery live on in the annals of time! #jemcomback

    IF this is done well, and that is a BIG if, and then if my daughter becomes a fan, then perhaps I may be persuaded to give my mint-condition Jem doll to my daughter to play with. But only if she lets me play with it too from time to time!

    Srsly, the earrings still light up. It has to be worth something!! #jemcomback

    @BearDownCBears: I remembered the theme song but know nothing of what the show was about. It appears she's a crime fighting model/pop star who can magically fly around with her band and there is an evil group of model/pop stars out to destroy her. Or something. And she's outrageous. Truly. #jemcomback

    @thecameralovesyou: It's 80s children capitalizing on their fellow 80s children, so really it's a kind of economic cannibalism. Apparently we have an insatiable hunger to beat bloody our collective childhood then force feed it to our peers. #jemcomback

    @thecameralovesyou: Dude you guys. If you're freaking out about all the revamps, remember this: For all those wonderful shows you watched as a child, the toys came first. That's right- some marketing douchebag at Hasbro came up with a basic idea for a toy. THEN they hired a team of writers to create a story around the toy so that kids will want to buy it. The childhood-icon-by-committee-of-execs... method hasn't changed so much, they just happened to be lucky enough to have great writers back then. #jemcomback

    In reply to A Lego By Any Other Name
    Hm. Anyone remember those little tiny Lego sets? The ones that came with a Guy, and a limited number of Legos, and you could build only the one thing, but the Guy usually came with a hat or little guns or a sword or whatever? I had piles of Legos when I was a kid, and I loved them, but I really adored those mini-sets. I actually still have a Guy somewhere. I think he's the cop one. I'm going to look for that when I go home for lunch and then bring it back to work. Speaking of, does anyone else find themselves experiencing a renewed love for some of their favorite toys? Because a few weeks ago maybe someone here mentioned Sylvanian Families and then I spent nearly an hour on the website going AWWWW!!!! and deciding which Family I want the most. I had those when I was really wee and my God they're even cuter and tinier than I remembered.

    I'm weird. #namesforlegopieces
