Punky Brewster: Season One proves the old, family-friendly sitcom is as captivating for kids today as it was in 1984. Somewhere in the tradition of Silas Marner and Chaplin's The Kid, Punky Brewster breathes new life in the story of an isolated bachelor who takes in a lost and forgotten child. Thanks to the inspired casting of Helsinki-born, journeyman actor George Gaynes (The Crucible) as misanthropic photographer-turned-foster dad Henry Warnimont, the tradition stays strong in Punky Brewster even as the series paints the world in primary colors for a young audience.

Gaynes's autumnal Henry is the gruff-but-lovable loner who discovers 8-year-old, abandoned Punky (Soleil Moon Frye) squatting with her golden lab puppy, Brandon, in an empty apartment across from his own. With great reluctance, Henry allows the loquacious, spunky Punky to stay with him until she's situated with Chicago's youth services, then misses her the moment she's gone. After a cute showdown with officials in court (Punky cracks wise atop the judge's desk), Henry and his moppet become a family, and the series explores the many ways in which the duo (well, Henry, actually) learns to accommodate a shared life. In "Punky Gets Her Own Room," the impetuous heroine turns Henry's dusty study into a brightly painted bedroom, much to her new dad's shock. "Parents Night" finds Henry annoyed that he's supposed to show up at his charge's school when he'd rather be working. Punky Brewster's initial 22 episodes wisely allowed the core relationship between man and girl to settle before introducing other significant characters and story threads. By the season's middle, however, other relationships and conflicts develop, including a romance for Henry and trouble with bullies at school. It's all good, family entertainment that doesn't condescend. Special features include three segments from the subsequent, animated It's Punky Brewster series. --Tom Keogh

This is one of my top 10 favorite TV sitcoms of alll time with my favorite being "Family Ties" starring Michael J. Fox! This is what I want to be for Halloween! This is my favorite kids TV show of all time! This & "Small Wonder" starrring Tiffany Brissette. This is a classic 80s kids TV show! This is also one of my 8-year-old sister's favorite TV shows of all time! My parents never liked this show for some reason.

For those who never seen or heard of "Punky Brewster", it's about a little girl named Punky Brewster (Soleil Moon Frye, "It's Punky Brewster", "Saved By The Bell") who goes on a trip with her mom & her dog Brandon after her dad walked out on them, but then her mom goes into a supermarket and ditches her for some odd reason and then, Punky & Brandon try to make a living somewhere in the city. One day, Punky & Brandon sneek into an apartment and they see Punky's best friend Cherie (Cherie Johnson, "It's Punky Brewster", "Malibooty"). Punky ends up meeting a photographer named Henry Warnimont (George Gaynes, "Police Academy", "Tootsie") and Cherie's grandmother, Mrs. Johnson (Susie Garret, "The Jeffersons", "Wicked Stepmother"). Henry sends Punky to an orphanage, leaving Brandon with Henry. She escapes. When Punky goes back to Henry, Henry's not as angry at Punky as she thought he'd be. Henry makes attempts to find Punky's mother, but fails everytime. Henry decides to keep Punky as his daughter even though he knows nothing sbout being father. He ends up being the best father she ever had even though Punky starts to be a pain in the butt for Henry even though Punky & Henry still end up having a good time together as a family.

I watched this show as a teen, and very young at heart even then, I truly loved this show. This show is wholesome as well as funny, having a valuable life lesson in each episode.

This show emphasizes a parent's unmerited love, the joy of differences as well as similar interests, and in later episodes: consequences of cheating (on a test), importance of not judging others (Halloween mishaps and revenge on a misunderstood elderly woman), and even CPR (class learns CPR just before Cherie gets stuck in a refrigerator), among others!

I would recommend this show to ANY household that has children, and anyone who is young at heart. I'm 41, and this show makes me feel 8 years old, right along with the others, except with my age and wisdom, I have insight I didn't have before. For instance, I always thought Margaux was little more than a stuck-up, spoiled little girl. However, when I watched "Miss Adorable," I realized as I listened to Margaux tell Punky the "importance" of bringing home a trophy that she was receiving that very message from her own family, and was evidently not unconditionally loved at home.

Punky Brewster will melt your heart with her relentless livelihood! : )

Easily one of my favorite childhood shows, and the series has aged pretty well! It's nice reliving this classic series! There are some flaws however. Since this was filmed before the digital age, the qualityt isn't that great. In fact it looks like something on VHS(And there are even a few instances where it looks like the tracking is off, or the tape stretches)...Still, I think this adds to the charm!

It also includes several episodes of the animated series...A cartoon show that I had never watched during it's original airing, so that was a nice bonus!

My daughter and I were browsing around for something to watch and hit on Punky Brewster, a favorite of my younger days. We watched the first third of Episode 1 on Prime Video. Shame that it was just a teaser and the rest cost money. No problem, The whole series is available on YouTube, which they charge money for if we want to buy, so I guess that's the legal version there, too. She's been binging on them ever since.

Punky's so sweet.and spunky. It's the classic orphan waif and crotchety old man story, and this one owns a dog, just like Annie. Gotta love it.

Ah...what sweet childhood memories this show brings back! Setting the trends for mis-matched sneakers, bandannas and rainbow jackets, PUNKY BREWSTER is the definitive time capsule for 80's kids. Soleil Moon Frye stars as Punky Brewster, a street-kid who is abandoned by her mother at a Chicago shopping centre. Secretly living in an empty apartment in a building managed by widowed photographer Henry Warnimont (George Gaynes), Punky and her dog Brandon are fugitives from Child Services. The last thing Henry needs is another mouth to feed, but he can't help but fall for the little moppet. Punky quickly makes best friends with upstairs neighbours Cherie (Cherie Johnson) and her grandmother Betty (Susie Garrett), and pretty soon even old Henry himself!

Just watching the show again makes me smile, and travel directly back to a simpler time in my childhood. Thankyou Shout! Factory for making this series available again. Bonus features include brand-new interviews with stars Cherie Johnson and Ami Foster, creator David W. Duclon and writer Barry Vigon; and a selection of episodes from the Saturday morning cartoon series "It's Punky Brewster".

Episodes:

"Punky Finds a Home" (Parts 1, 2 & 3) - In the special pilot episode, we first meet Punky as she's taken in by lonely apartment manager Henry and turns his world around.

"Punky Gets Her Own Room / Lost and Found" - Punky and her friends set about decorating her own room, which includes a flower cart for a bed! Punky and Henry's trip to the supermarket stirs up old feelings of abandonment for Punky.

"Walk Pool / Gone Fishin'" - Henry agrees to take over supervision for the childrens' daily walk to school. Punky and her friends spend a Saturday fishing trip with Henry.
