So, I'm still working my way through my dvd's when all of a sudden, like a slap in the face, the theme tune changes to Jem Girls 
I know a lot of you are probably thinking 'yes' of course it does' but being approx. 30 years ago since I last saw Jem, I had completely forgotten!!
Am I the only person who thinks it is not a patch on the original Jem theme? It narks me now, probably something that didn't when I was 12/13 years old, but now it really grates! The original was amazing! It was edgy, pure pop, catchy and I would still proudly play it on my car radio to this very day! Jem Girls sounds like it was aimed at under 10's to me, and it's just so feeble and 'girly' and lacks the impact of the original
Also, why were The Misfits dropped from the opening credits? Does anybody here know? They were still a massive part of the show at this point, no sign of The Stingers, so why did they get cut out? Even just typing this, I'm thinking, were they trying to sweeten the show? Make the theme more kiddyfied, drop the aggressive Misfits from the opening, it's as though they were aiming at a new target audience.
What happened? Why the changes? Can you imagine if other well known TV shows suddenly changed their theme tunes? Dallas, Knight Rider, The A Team, just for a few examples, all with immediately identifiable intro tunes, imagine changing those?? I just don't get it?
OOOO, I'm feeling all grouchy now! Think I need to go listen to the original theme and cheer myself up! LOL!
