Grey's Anatomy star and photographer Brad Everett Young was one of our own. Love him or hate him, he was the founder of “Jem’s Space” on myspace.com. He shared some great photography of Jem dolls, fashions, and prototypes. The information was not always correct, because his main source didn’t really have a connection to the Jem line. He is a devastating loss to the Jem community.

* = Theoretically, these seem to be the production number for the Super Sunday episodes. I'm not 100% sure, but some of the illustration used in those episodes are in the Jem Bible and listed with those numbers instead of the Jem production numbers. These numbers are 4041 to 4044, most included an a, b, or c which seems to line up with these episodes in most cases. There are no 4045 listed in the Bible, but almost everything was introduced in the previous 4 episodes/12 segments.

4046 - the segments became the Truly Outrageous! 90 min movie
