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.
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.
There a lot of good and bad tv revivals these days (the equalizer was one and it was a real disappoinment), but this one is a very good revival, this one stars Soleil Moon Frye reprising her role as punky of course, this time as a single mom raising three kids and going thru the challenges of them when punky finds a orphan who reminds us of punky back in her time, cherie johnson reprise her role and she does a good job as well, although some of the editing is flawed, the premise is so good, the characters are way more developing and the scene which punky says morning henry, what a beautiful day was very affective, this is a very good revival and i'm gonna give a B+
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
