Punky Brewster	comment	Punky Brewster is a 1984-88 Dom Com created and executive produced by David W. Duclon and airing on NBC and later in Syndication about abandoned child Penelope "Punky" Brewster (her father walked out on her and her mom left Punky and her pet dog, Brandon, at a grocery store), played by Soleil Moon Frye, and her adoptive father, Henry, played by George Gaynes (best known for his role as Cmdt. Lassard in the Police Academy movies). Also revolves around Punky's interactions with her best friend, Cherie Johnson, played by Cherie Johnson (who later went on to play Laura Winslow's friend Maxine on Family Matters), who lives with her grandmother, Betty, played by Susie Garrett. Punky's other friends include geeky Allen Anderson (Casey Ellison) and stuck-up rich girl Margaux Kramer (Ami Foster). During the NBC run, Punky's teachers were frequently seen. In the first season, Punky's teacher was cheerful Mrs. Morton (Dody Goodman), while in the second season, it was hip Mike Fulton (TK Carter). Also seen briefly in Henry and Punky's apartment building was kooky maintenance man Eddie Malvin (Eddie Deezen).Well-loved Kid Com of The '80s (by kids, anyway--critics hated it), especially when it re-ran in syndication. Did a Very Special Episode after the Challenger space shuttle explosion.The show was originally produced by Lightkeeper Productions, David W. Duclon's production company, alongside NBC from 1984-1986, when NBC cancelled the series. After the NBC cancellation, Duclon teamed up with Columbia Pictures to produce two additional seasons in syndication from 1987-1988. Today, Sony, which now owns Columbia Pictures, hold domestic rights to the series, while NBC holds international rights.An animated adaptation by Ruby-Spears also was shown on NBC from 1985-1986. It added a magical furry creature named Glomer whose magic enabled new kinds of misadventures.In September 2019, it was announced that a sequel series was being produced for NBC's then-upcoming streaming service Peacock, with Frye reprising the role of Punky, now a single mother trying to get her life together. Punky Brewster (2021) premiered in February 2021.Not to be confused with the early Devin Townsend album.

Punky is another story: when Allen gets to her, she loses it. As Allen leaves, Punky collapses into Cherie's arms, crying her eyes out.

Punky Brewster / int_5f9fbd83	comment	Not Allowed to Grow Up: Soleil Moon Frye, for a while. By the show's third season (in syndication) the producers gave up on that, and finally acknowledged that Punky needed to buy her first bra (the episode "Metamorphosis"; November 12, 1987). The Family Channel refused to air the episode when they reran the series in the mid '90s. Soleil Moon Frye, as it turned out, suffered from a condition (known as either juvenile macromastia or juvenile gigantomastia) which caused her breasts to develop early and larger than usual. She had to have reduction surgery at 15 because of it.

Brandon was the name of Punky's dog. Since this show was Mr. Tartikoff's pet project, it's only fitting that the pet is named after him. In the Fenster Hall episode, T.C. Finestra is named after Carmen Finestra, the program's creative consultant. In addition, in the episode "Yes, Punky, There is a Santa Claus", Henry mentions talking to a private investigator named Gene Doucette, which was also the name of the program's costume designer.

Punky Brewster / int_fdbd6162	comment	With Friends Like These...: Margaux. Despite being in their "best friend" group, she shows no aversion at all to belitting Punky and Cherie, from calling them "peasants" in the first two seasons to finding every way possible to slip in a mocking remark about their financial status and social class by seasons 3 and 4. And yet she's still their best friend! Not to mention how she told Punky having an "adoptive" father wasn't the same as having a "real" one.
