    Sure, the new Punky Brewster is still a sitcom aimed at younger viewers. But it’s got a warmth and sweetness to it that feel genuine. And it’s smart enough to deal with Punky as she is now, not trying to make her into some grown-up version of her 8-year-old self.

    While this show isn’t exactly new or ground-breaking as so many savvy viewers perhaps expect a comedy to be these days, Punky’s rainbow-lens goggles and penchant for finding the joy in life may be the fare that ragged families everywhere need right about now.

The writing is so bad it should be studied and I think their is a good reason that the retuning adults never made it in acting as well, it’s really bad I hate to say. I think with better writing that things could improve as even Freddie Prince Jr looks like a rookie actor with little skill.
    It could have been a strong show fostering more young girls to be themselves the was the original did but instead it’s a pandering afterthought.
    If there is a season two I hope they replace all the writers.    … Full Review »
