Punky Brewster

[dissention]

(I know Christy will be the first to reply, mark my words... :lol: )

Who else loves this show? I grew up watching this and Small Wonder in the morning before I went to school and was shocked when I came across the first season on DVD at Barnes & Noble.

It has all 23 episodes from the first season, plus over two hours of the Saturday morning cartoon "It's Punky Brewster." I can't wait until they release the other three seasons, it's so much fun watching these for the first time in years!!!

[wondergirl9847]

LMAO!!

I loved Punky!!! My fave episode...when Cherie got stuck in the fridge and "died" (you know what I mean LOL) and they had to use CPR on her. I never forgot the impact of that particular show on me. I took a CPR class in college because of that. :)

Yep, I watched the cartoon as well, with that weird, freaky, talking furry animal thing. What was it's name? LOL

[hayley]

We just released the Punky set a few weeks ago, glad you found it, Diss- Christy, you should pick it up if you haven't already.

I still haven't opened my copy, maybe I will in a couple of weeks. I only faintly remember the show from when I was a kid. The thing I remember most about it was all the talk about Soleil Moon Frye's boobs- lolol

[amber]

No offense, but yaaaargggghhh! Okay, punky-I know, I know. But small wonder? Worst show ever. But - young people have different tastes. However - my favorite shows when I was 7,8,9 were Threes Company and Laverne and Shirley, and Scooby Doo, and anything Buggs Bunny. But i'm glad you're thoroughly enjoying your punky nostalgia. When i was in 5th grade, a lot of people had the sock and bandanna, which was cute. Punk on! :woohoo:

[hayley]

Does anybody watch Gilmore Girls? One of Rory's roommates this last season reminded me so much of the girl from Small Wonder, all grown up. I don't think they're the same actress, but I always thought it was weird.

I liked Small Wonder, but I also had no taste at the time.

[wondergirl9847]

I watched Small Wonder too. Sure, it's no great TV show, but I was a TV addict growing up (still am kinda...but the net has taken over my frikkin life LOL). Any TV show you mention, I've probably seen it at least once. I don't know how I watched so much TV, yet played with my friends, played video games...etc.

I know! I remember I was little and saw her on TV after her breast reduction surgery and the before pictures were shocking. I'm surprised she could walk with them jilopi's on her chest.

Do you have any idea when the second seasonw ill come out? I know it's premature, but I want more. :laugh: And I want Small Wonder, too. :lol:

Perhaps you forgot to go to school? :lol: Really it was because we all used to have summers off, that you had that kind of time. *sigh*. Summers off.....

That girl Harriet used to drive me nuts on Small Wonder. She was sooooooo annoying. :laugh: LOVED that show. When I was little, I thought it was the best thing ever (after Punky, of course).

Honestly, I don't know if they'll do the second season... Shout! Factory is the company that's put them out, and we distribute them, and they've had some great product lately- Freaks and Geeks, SCTV, Unprecedented, How's Your News?, a lot others... a lot of times, though, companies will put out the first season of these shows, and will only release the subsequent ones if the demand is enough.

Supposedly, that's one of the reasons they haven't put out Twin Peaks season 2 yet, which I think is BS, but hey.

[wondergirl9847]

PUT OUT TWIN PEAKS ALREADY DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

Sorry for the yelling, but that's my fave show EVER and I want all 29 (yeah, they only made 29 eps, but lame a$$ shows that went on for 30 friggin years get released on DVD...bitter, table for one. LOL)

Small Wonder, I don't need on DVD, or Punky for that matter. LOL I am waiting for Keen Eddie (all 13 eps....damn you Fox :mad: ) on September 7th.

[wondergirl9847]

LMAO!! That's it!!

I even remember the dang theme song melody from the cartoon!

:laugh:

[Villavic]

Didn't love it but I liked Punky a lot. I remember the sad episode in memoriam the Challenger shuttle.

And a funny scene where the dog used to watch tv alone, and he always turned it off before the old man get into the house (and he said "I'd swear I heard the tv!!)

Small Wonder.. I like it too. Yeah, Harriet was SO ANNOYING but kinda my fave character there. Her colored ribbons in her hair was so ridiculous and funny..

I'm a psychotic TP fan, and I'm so ticked by it myself. The quality of the first season DVDs is so stellar- I mean, they really did it right. They could do it half as right for the second season (since most of it was only half as good as the previous), and it'd be fine.

I have all my old VHS copies still, though- from that huge VHS boxed set they put out back in the day that cost an arm and a leg.

[DeadliestPoison]

Speaking of TV shows on DVD, I need to save up for Dead Like Me's first season. And Season 7 of Buffy (obsessed, etc).

[skcin]

No offense, but yaaaargggghhh! Okay, punky-I know, I know. But small wonder? Worst show ever.

HATED Small Wonder, terrible even when I was 10. That stupid little wink she used to do at the end - ugh!

Thanks you guys, now the theme song is in my head for the night :mad:

Those shows were after my time, so I never thought they were anything but dumb. But please don't be insulted; in my day I liked Gimme A Break. ;)

Best show EVER! My friend got me hooked on this in high school (1994, so it was off TV by then). Some girl brought a video of the show one day to her journalism class and they watched it, she got hooked, then proceeded to get me hooked.

She bought a ridiculously expensive set, only to find out she bought the first SEVEN only!! ACK!! LOL She then, bought the entire 29 eps on video, and made me copies of them all, since I recorded The Fugitive and some other movie for her. LOL I played my tapes OUT, they look horrible. I bought the DVD for the pilot on Ebay, then the first season. I also have two sets of trading cards. Hehe.

Did you watch them on Bravo with the Log Lady's intros?

Who are your fave characters?

Mine are Dale Cooper, Audrey Horne, Big Ed, Sheriff Truman and Albert Rosenfeld.

I cannot STAND Donna and James. LOL *GAG*

I did watch them on Bravo! I am still so pissed, though, because one of my friends in middle school borrowed my Bravo copies and accidentally taped over half of them, so I lost my Log Lady intros at that time. I was so pissed!!

I love Dale, the Log Lady, Andy, and Audrey... but Albert was my absolute FAVORITE. His speech to Truman still ranks as my favorite TP moment, ever. Even now whenever I see Miguel Ferrer in anything, I will watch it, no matter what it is.

I also totally HATE Donna and James myself. Especially that horrible plot with James leaving town, with that woman and her brother... totally stupid. I also always disliked Nadine.

My favorite TP collectible is the board game! I don't have the trading cards, though.

I know, that speech is greatness!! "You blithering hayseed..." BWAH!! I wrote down a ton of quotes one time (I was mega bored..LOL).

Yeah, the James and Evylyn thing...UGH!! Kill me now!! LOL

Loved Norma with Ed. :nod:

[cliffdweller]

His name was Gloomer. :xoxo:

:laugh: Gloomer. Hilarious.

Thanks Punky friend. :laugh:

[DrummerDeanna]

And that was my fave episode, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:


Actually...wasn't his name Glomer? As is in "glow-mer" that what I thought..but I didn't really like the cartoon...

But man..I just saw the first season on DVD this weekend and totally freaked out...I LOVED that show....the ones where Punky is like being taken away from Henry because he's in the hospital..omg..those totally made me cry...

I also had a Punky doll, and a punky coloring book....and I used to wear a bandana (okay I only did it once) around my knee hahaha....

Small Wonder....that show was horrid...but alas, I watched it as well...hahaha..I, too, was a tv addict...

Does anyone remember Out of this World...with Evie? I also loved that show...

Oh well, better than the Small Wonder theme...

[wondergirl9847]

*raises hand* Me...I watched it. Her dad in that glowing, plastic box thing, and her ability to point her fingers together to stop time (wish I could do that! LOL).

Gimme a Break...another I watched. Lil Joey Lawrence coming on the show, when the dad died and Grandpa. BWAH!!
