Omg, I thought I was going to hate this,but I didn't. It felt like seeing old friends you haven't seen in years and feeling like no time has passed. I hope for more episodes to come.

Ok So I was really looking forward to seeing Cherie and Punky back again! And I do love the show, however aesthetically I am kind of disappointed that they let Punky's fashion spark sizzle. Her fashion is what made her stand out as Punky but now she dresses like a regular soccer mom just with mixed match converse. Even Margo whose signature look was to wear pink, was wearing a navy blue suit in her cameo, something that Margo would not be caught dead in. This show is off to a good start but it isn't great. Punky fans will definitely appreciate the nostalgia that each episode captures but there is still something missing besides Henry Warnimont, Betty Johnson and the real Brandon.

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.

Seriously, I would give this show a slightly better rating if it didn't have the distracting, dated, disgusting laugh track. Seriously. Be better.

Talk about nostalgia overload! I absolutely loved it. I cried within the first minute which was unexpected but lovely! They did this reboot right!

After watching the original series, I had to watch this new reboot. I was a little worried about this reboot, usually reboots to sitcoms aren't that good (example: Fuller House). But this wasn't bad. I actually really enjoyed it a lot. It was really well done for a reboot, it was nice to see old characters returning, there were references to the original series, it featured a bunch of things from the original series, and it even gave answers to unanswered questions from the original series. But there were some not so great things about this reboot. It was mainly because of gen z. There were a lot of cringe references to Fortnite, Tik Tok, "Ok Boomer" and more. Other than those unbearably cringe lines, there wasn't anything else that was bad. Overall, really enjoyed this reboot. Hopefully there will be a season 2.
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!!

After a few oldies but goodies were rebooted and failed I was skeptical on this one. I however was pleasantly surprised that I actually enjoyed this throughly. I especially loved the fact that they kept true to the original Punky Brewster show. Bringing things back from that period of time was so nostalgic and heart warming! I knew exactly what each one meant and how important it was to the show. Not to mention Freddie has never been hard to look at! Great job and I hope there's more to come!!

I wanted to love this since Punky was a big part of my childhood. It was great to see Cherie and Punky reunite, but that's where it ends for me. The kids are annoying, apart from Izzy (love that she's how Punky used to be!) and the acting is cheesy. Shame everything has to be politically correct too. Wish George Gaines could've been around to reprise his role, glad they remembered him though.

I haven't seen the original series, so this to me is as new as it gets. I absolutely love it. It reminds me of what good old fashion family sitcom is like. We simply don't get sitcoms like this these days. Izzy is so adorable, and everybody has their own unique character and stories to play out... Honestly, what's there not to like? It's a little short though, just 10 episodes.

This is a sequel to the 80's show. Punky Brewster (Soleil Moon Frye) is now a divorced woman with three kids, two of them adopted. She encounters spunky foster kid Izzy who is so similar to her younger self.
I never saw the original but I do like Soleil in Sabrina. This is a standard old style sitcom which makes sense. I like these characters. There is nothing that challenging. It's loving and supportive. It's canceled after one season. Sadly, this is a blip in the TV landscape and only fanatics of the original would notice.

This was one of my favorite shows as a kid so I was excited to see a reboot. I really like Freddie in this and the little girl is GREAT - but I just can't get past the disgusting, sugary-sweet and FAKE acting by Soleil. It's just soooo darn fake feeling and a major turn off. Too bad

In all honesty, she had better acting chops as a kid. Now she overacts, and it is just so cringey.
Its just another garbage American sitcom. Terrible acting. Lowest common denominator, laugh track, obvious jokes and gags.
Crap.

This show not only pulls you in instantly, it also has flashbacks of the feel-good 80s vibes throughout. its very easy to follow along with each character and it touches on a lot of subjects that families talk about and deal with today. the show does an amazing job at being a revival that also has its storyline stand out from other shows. it has a laugh track but there will be moments you find yourself tearing up from the emotional bond you have with the family. 10 episodes is not enough, bring back more!

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

This is a sequel to the 80's show. Punky Brewster (Soleil Moon Frye) is now typically made to be a divorced single woman with three kids, two of them adopted, they had too didnt they. She encounters a PC friend foster kid Izzy who is so similar to her younger self.
This Reboot of a formerly famous show, they made it w o k e and it was cancelled, spoiling good classics will get you cancelled and it did. No need for reboots if they are going to desecrate them. Please TV Land do not tarnish classics with virtue signalling dribble, it doesnt work, the public do not want that, please understand this.
