Punky Brewster

Omg, I thought I was going to hate this,but I didn't. It felt like seeing old friends you haven't seen in years and feeling like no time has passed. I hope for more episodes to come.

Loved it so much! I was hoping it wasn't too cheesy like Fuller House or the new Saved by the bell and it wasn't it was just perfect. Punky still has the same personality as she did on the original. They did not make any of the characters annoying. It's a great family show, my 8 year old is a fan old the original Punky Brewster I played old videos of it for her but even my 16 year old enjoyed the new series. I loved the cast, seeing punky & Cherry together again was great. And I love Freddie Prince Jr. as Punky's love interest. I think the story line was great. Hoping for a season 2.

Ok So I was really looking forward to seeing Cherie and Punky back again! And I do love the show, however aesthetically I am kind of disappointed that they let Punky's fashion spark sizzle. Her fashion is what made her stand out as Punky but now she dresses like a regular soccer mom just with mixed match converse. Even Margo whose signature look was to wear pink, was wearing a navy blue suit in her cameo, something that Margo would not be caught dead in. This show is off to a good start but it isn't great. Punky fans will definitely appreciate the nostalgia that each episode captures but there is still something missing besides Henry Warnimont, Betty Johnson and the real Brandon.

After watching the original series, I had to watch this new reboot. I was a little worried about this reboot, usually reboots to sitcoms aren't that good (example: Fuller House). But this wasn't bad. I actually really enjoyed it a lot. It was really well done for a reboot, it was nice to see old characters returning, there were references to the original series, it featured a bunch of things from the original series, and it even gave answers to unanswered questions from the original series. But there were some not so great things about this reboot. It was mainly because of gen z. There were a lot of cringe references to Fortnite, Tik Tok, "Ok Boomer" and more. Other than those unbearably cringe lines, there wasn't anything else that was bad. Overall, really enjoyed this reboot. Hopefully there will be a season 2.

Reboots get a bad rap but I personally love them if done correctly. Being an 80s baby, I grew up with Punky Brewster. I was excited for this reboot but once I saw what they did to the saved by the bell reboot, i was afraid it would be the same horrible, cheesy, bad acting, political mess. HOWEVER, unlike SBTBR, the writers were better for Punky. It was still a little cheesy but the nostalgia of it all, as well as the great cast, acting, and chemistry is what made it great. I would have given it a 10, but Freddie isn't really doing it for me in this character, although he is growing on me
