That is literally the only episode of Punky I've ever seen and I still remember it to this day, lol.
Oh shit! I lied! I've seen that one too! The kid didn't know how to read, right? So they didn't know what to use to help the younger kid that drank the bleach?
I want to say yes, but I think there was a different episode with a kid who couldn't read. She was trading her drawings for help on her school work, and making big bucks off commissions in the 80s.
Yes, and it was genius. She was rebellious and caused so much fun-loving turmoil for Henry.
It actually got cancelled after 2 seasons on NBC. Then it did two years in syndication. I'm really not sure why they think it has some kind of enduring audience.
Funnily enough I never saw the show but I know who Punky is. I would image most Americans over 30 at least know the name even if they never saw it. It may have name power.
My 80's kid brain creates its own reality, and I choose to live in it.
It's over I thought. Seemed to do pretty good for Netflix
Well Picard seems to be a massive hit for CBS. Granted it was the 90s. It seems like most of these shows do pretty well. I think maybe Girl meets World and X Files did worst than expected in recent memory. That said, I feel like if Girl meets world couldn't cut it, this won't. But maybe since it may be one of the only things to watch on that service for a while it will do better?
Glomer! I can still hear his voice, even though I haven't seen the cartoon since it aired.I enjoyed the actress back when she was on Sabrina.
Not sure if I really care about seeing the character struggling to raise kids.
Remember the Punky Brewster cartoon where she ran around with a magical leprechaun gopher that had a goatee? How about a sequel to that?
Apparently the entire show was about Punky dealing with some grim realities. It's basically a series comprised of "very special episodes". It was created during a time when the government mandated that early evening television needed to be educational or informative in some fashion. So there's an episode where she learns CPR, an episode where somebody gets stuck in a fridge, an episode where she deals with the Challenger explosion, etc.
It's GLOMER put some goddamn RESPECT on his nameWhere is the magical flying bear thing with a beard ?
