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+
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!
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!!
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
