This was like visiting an old friend after years apart and meeting their family. I got so comfy right away. It's like family. Nobody asked me to help clean up, but I had the best time. The kids were funny, the stories were right on time, and Punky and Cherie are still the fun kids down the hall. I loved it!!! I lobe the way everything was written. The comedic timing was on point and the nostalgia was not over the top. It was just Right. Everyone grows up, but we get to being kids when our besties are in town. More please!!
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.
Talk about nostalgia overload! I absolutely loved it. I cried within the first minute which was unexpected but lovely! They did this reboot right!
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.
