Members DRW50 Posted March 8, 2013 Members Share Posted March 8, 2013 I always laughed about the last episode having the host of Supermarket Sweep as a doggie minister. There was something touching about the show, I will admit. I feel that way about a lot of 80s sitcoms. Aside from Roseanne I never felt that in any 90s sitcoms, they just feel plastic.

Members ~bl~ Posted March 9, 2013 Members Share Posted March 9, 2013 I watched that growing up too and the cartoon. The NBC channel was nice enough to show the cartoon around lunchtime on Saturdays so I could sleep in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 9, 2013 Members Share Posted March 9, 2013 I am in the same age group as Soleil Moon Frye so I was watching Punky Brewster. A few years ago, I Soleil and Cheri Johnson remain close friends. Very cool to realize this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted March 9, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2013 I never understood why she wasn't interviewed for any of the DVD bonus features. She has ALWAYS seemed willing to talk about the show and loves her fans. Cherie and Ami did for the first season, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1Rfb2392As Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted March 9, 2013 Members Share Posted March 9, 2013 I watched the cartoon too, singing the theme song in my head as I type. "Glomer!" Do you all remember the episode where they imagined what they would be like when they were old and they all had on crap '80s old-age makeup (except for Margo who hadn't aged a bit)? The Facts of Life and Full House did similar "when we are old" episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted March 13, 2013 Members Share Posted March 13, 2013 For some reason, we had 3 random Punky Brewster episodes on tape that my sister and I would watch a lot. One was I think the 2nd episode of a 2-parter story where Punky was taken away from Henry and went to live with a snooty rich family where the wife was stuck up and ran the house while her subservient husband begrudgingly went along with everything she did... until the very end when he finally stood up to her and let Punky return to Henry and divorced the wife. We also had a Halloween episode where they do a shaving-cream-in-a-bag-under-the-door trick to an old lady living in their apartment complex that they believed to be a witch. Punky got caught, Brandon the dog ended up in the old lady's apartment, and she had to retrieve him with... Mike (was that T K Carter's character's name?) they ended up making friends with the woman after she fell and broke her hip. And another one was where Punky somehow tracked down Mike's biological mother by accident. It was actually pretty well acted when Mike and the mom reunited in his classroom. Random memories. That's basically all the episodes I remember other than one where Cherry gets stuck and almost suffocates in an old abandoned refrigerator. haha.

Members Jonathan Posted March 17, 2013 Members Share Posted March 17, 2013 I was thinking about this episode the other night. How did the show end? Did Punky's mom ever return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted March 18, 2013 Members Share Posted March 18, 2013 One scene from this show that has always stuck out in my mind, when Brandon got hurt and she's crying to him "Brandon WAKEUP!!" that always got to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
