Fan Page: Punky Brewster

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

I think that Punky Brewster was the 80's kid female version of Chuck Norris; the Girls wanted to BE her, the boys wanted to be WITH her.

I, like most boys my age, had a HUGE crush on Punky Brewster. 90% of the girls in my class dressed and acted like her. Punky Brewster was an obsession that could not be quieted by something as simple as a terrible cartoon! And really... if it hadn't been for the presence of Punky, this show would have been as unwatchable as the Gary Coleman show*.

I watched this when I was 4, but all I recall are the opening credits. For years, the cartoon was the only Punky Brewster show that I knew about. I may have just watched for the weird animal thing.

I have some bitterness about Punky Brewster cartoon...I found a RARE VHS copy at our local Goodwill several years ago, and my son recently SHREDDED it.
....So it is no longer....But man I loved that tape. Obviously he didn't :*(

I use to have the Punky Brewster shoes, but I couldn't wear them to Catholic School. They were too colorful.
