Summary: It's about time!!!
Review: I LOVE PUNKY!!! It's about time they came out with this! The shows are in pristine condition and funnier than I remember. When I went to the NBC store in New York, they did not stock them. I wonder why. Oh well, Punky fans enjoy - it only gets better with every new season released!!!

Summary: childhood flashback!!
Review: I picked up the DVD yesterday, I was so excited I couldn't wait, I went right after work. I had been waiting for this release for a long time. I have love Punky since I was a kid, I even used to wear different colored tennis shoes to be like her, and I proudly wore my Punky snowboots! Anyhoo, this is a great set, it made me feel so happy watching it because it took me back to being a kid seeing them on TV. If you're like me, you'll have a smile on your face the whole time you watch it. Although, I cried a lot during the episode I love you Brandon, it's so sad. I haven't gotten the chance to watch the interviews or cartoons yet, but I'll make it to them today hopefully:)

Summary: Great to see Punky Brewster on dvd
Review: I picked up the Punky Brewster dvd set for about $17 after I used a gift card. I finished watching the whole series (I have yet to watch the cartoons though). The dvds come packed in a fold out style case with a cover so you have to slide the case out and fold it open to get to the dvds. The dvds are presented in full screem aspect the picture is clean which is good considering this is now 20 years old. I had a fun time reminissing as I watched thinking to myself I remember this scene or that scene. The extras are quite bear though no audio commentary I was hoping for some kind of cast reunion no subs of any kind no dolby or dts (I know its a tv show but it would have been nice) No interviews with George Gaynes Soleil Moon Frye or Casey Ellison who played Allen. We do get however 2 hours of the spin off cartoon titled its Punky Brewster and interviews with Cherie Johnson and Ami Foster (Margaux Kramer) both have matured very nicely I might add. The other interviews are from Punky Brewster creator and executive producer David W. Duclon and Punky Brewster writer Barry Vigon. There are a total of 4 interviews and each varies in length of 5 to 10 minutes or so. Here are the episode titles for each disc that make up season 1 23 episodes in totalDisc 1 Punky Finds a home parts 1-3 Lost and Found Punky gets her own room Walk Pool Gone Fishing Disc 2 Take me out to the ballgame Parents night Go to Sleep A visit to the doctor Miss adorable Dog dough afternoon Bye bye, My Disc 3 Yes, Punky there is a santa claus special one hour episode Punky in the record business Henry falls in love parts 1 & 2 Disc 4 My aged valentine I love you,Brandon Punky Brewster's workout Gals and dolls Fenster Hall special one hour episode I forgot to mention before there are 2 episodes of its Punky Brester on each disc same thing with the interviews theres either one or two interviews per disc. I wasn't personally disappointed that much I got a nice trip down memory lane for myself (I'm 26 now) I just hope the remaining seasons 2-4 feature more extras. Punky power indeed

Summary: Punky's spirit is uplifting.
Review: I recently purchased this box set, let me tell you, it's a gem. It brings back so many memories. Soleil Moon Frye is one of the best child actors of that time (it certainly shows) Every episode is a thrill to watch, very interesting show and perfect for all ages. I can't wait for season two (out in February, thank god!)

Summary: the next generation of Punky fans
Review: Its great to have these dvds to share with my girls, age 8 and 2 1/2. They watch Sabrina and got a kick out of watching Punky. My 8 year old loves to watch them because she know Punky was one of my favorite shows, when I was about her age. I'm a young mom, my daughter also has friends with moms my age and they all know Punky. Punky was an important part of our past - who didn't try to walk out ofthe house with two different sneakers on. Sharing my past with my girls is important, we also bought DUKES OF HAZZARD SEASON ONE for my husband to share with the girls. I know one of my moms favorite shows as a kid was I LOVE LUCY. To me that stuff is important, the people we love won't always be here - but a suttle reminder of who the were is always nice.

Summary: Soleil Moon Frye, the Shirly Temple of the 80's
Review: Not since shirley temple did a child actor bring so many tears to those watching.
They just dont make shows like this anymore. The 80's had many great shows. Family Ties, The wonder years, Perfect Strangers and Punky Brewster! Unlike today where every show has a cast of self absorbed models, the movies, and TV shows of the 80s spoke to the average person. Punky Brewster spoke to a generation of children, most living outside of the nuclear family (mother and father). The children of single parents could relate to Punky Brewster. If Punky could make it with both biological parents missing, we could make it with 1 parent. Punky was all about using your punky power to make the best of bad situations. We all needed that in the 80's and we still need that today.
I feel very grateful that I had such wonderful TV shows like Punky Brewster that were entertaining, creative, and helped to inspire good values.
These DVDs are great. I forgot all about the Punky Brewster cartoon and I enjoyed the actors retrospective interviews.
