Punky Brewster - Season One

This is one of my top 10 favorite TV sitcoms of alll time with my favorite being "Family Ties" starring Michael J. Fox! This is what I want to be for Halloween! This is my favorite kids TV show of all time! This & "Small Wonder" starrring Tiffany Brissette. This is a classic 80s kids TV show! This is also one of my 8-year-old sister's favorite TV shows of all time! My parents never liked this show for some reason.For those who never seen or heard of "Punky Brewster", it's about a little girl named Punky Brewster (Soleil Moon Frye, "It's Punky Brewster", "Saved By The Bell") who goes on a trip with her mom & her dog Brandon after her dad walked out on them, but then her mom goes into a supermarket and ditches her for some odd reason and then, Punky & Brandon try to make a living somewhere in the city. One day, Punky & Brandon sneek into an apartment and they see Punky's best friend Cherie (Cherie Johnson, "It's Punky Brewster", "Malibooty"). Punky ends up meeting a photographer named Henry Warnimont (George Gaynes, "Police Academy", "Tootsie") and Cherie's grandmother, Mrs. Johnson (Susie Garret, "The Jeffersons", "Wicked Stepmother"). Henry sends Punky to an orphanage, leaving Brandon with Henry. She escapes. When Punky goes back to Henry, Henry's not as angry at Punky as she thought he'd be. Henry makes attempts to find Punky's mother, but fails everytime. Henry decides to keep Punky as his daughter even though he knows nothing sbout being father. He ends up being the best father she ever had even though Punky starts to be a pain in the butt for Henry even though Punky & Henry still end up having a good time together as a family. She ends up meeting an annoying guy named Eddie Malvin (Eddie Deezen, "Zapped!", "The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water") At school, people start to make fun of Punky's name, one likes to beat her up in one particular episode, she ends up meeting new friends who are very annoying and obnoxious, and she meets a teacher, Mike Fulton (T. K. Carter, "The Thing", "Runaway Train") who also works at the orphanage she was once at.Epidoes on season 1:1. Punky Finds A Home Part 12. Punky Finds A Home Part 23. Punky Finds A Home Part 34.

Purchased another set from a local seller and wanted to find the next series. My daughter loves these and I love showing her some old school classics.

Oh, it's an annoyingly annoying, sugary sweet, overly emotional, unbelievably unbelievable, 1980's family comedy.Or is that how you vaguely remember it?They don't make them like this anymore and here's why.It was really good.Family comedies of the 1970's and 1980's touched on social and moral issues, they pushed the boundaries and covered controversial topics. They had a simple message, do the right thing and love one another.Family comedies weren't about political agendas or getting a laugh over derogatory jokes or outright slander against a celebrity or political candidate.That was for primetime sitcoms like MASH and All in the Family, or late night shows like SNL.Punky Brewster wasn't a show about putdowns or making someone or something appear bad for the sake of a laugh, it was about being a better person and loving the people and world around you. Confronting your problems or mistakes and making things right.Sounds boring doesn't it? Makes you want to watch the Netflix series Fuller House where they bash Trump repeatedly, make fun of their real life drug problems, spend more time trying to get laid than the Golden Girls, and feature incredibly bad children actors.I know, times change and that's what people want today.Punky Brewster is timeless. I can sit my kids down in front of this show without concern... Shockingly, they love it!I gave them a choice of watching Punky Brewster or Family Guy and Punky won out. Why? My youngest gave me an answer, "Punky is like real life and you can tell that she and Henry really love each other. Family Guy is all about making fun of or putting down everyone and doing stupid unrealistic things."It's nice to have a show to balance out the crap they watch when you're not looking.On a side note, Bobs Burgers is a good modern family show. What? Yeah it really is!!! Some episodes are just sitcom nonsense, but they don't do politics, don't use fowl language, they are just trying to be a normal happy family. If anything, watch the Hawk and Chick episode and you will see what I mean. That one should have won an award.Back to Punky, sometimes Soleil Moon Frye over-acts a little (primarily in the first season), but she almost always comes off as genuine. Henry is adorable (and completely unrelated to his Police Academy character. Yeah, that's where you saw him before, no need to look it up.)We need more shows like this, the world would be a better place.

Just what I expected. I grew up with the show and when the reboot was announced wanted to share the original and my memories with my 8 & 9 year old nieces what I expected to be a short lived experience (since it is an older show) turned into hours with not only them but their younger siblings, their parents and my parents.

Réminiscences lors du générique de début et là on redécouvre une série qui a fait pleurer et rire plus d'un enfant. Mais en revoyant la série on peut comprendre que des mères suivaient cette série autant , voir plus que nous.Ce n'est pas une simple sitcom avec rires enregistrés sur des blagues vaseuses . Cette série est l'une des rares à proposer du drame enrobé d'humour (parfois c'est l'inverse pour éviter de plomber l'ambiance) .Enfin Éléphant Film a édité cette série qui n'étaient disponible qu'en VO Zone 1 et sans sous-titres Français. Le coffret est en plastique et le système de rangement un peu étrange ; un support pour le 1er DVD et un plot pour 3 disques. Un livret est fourni avec des informations très inintéressantes et la liste détaillé des épisodes (présenté sous la numérotation française) . Un fourreau en carton enveloppe la boîtier plastique avec la même présentation (cf image amazon)Tous les épisodes sont dans leur intégralité : ce qui signifie aucune censure (et on ne voit pas bien pourquoi) , qui était de mise dans les années 80-90 sur les séries et les dessin-animés japonais. Je conseille fortement de le regarder en V.O. même moi qui est plutôt fainéant pour lire les sous-titres .Pour le visionnage en Français , il y a des passages qui passent en V.O. ST mais c'est normal , ce sont des scènes qui n'ont jamais été doublées en français par la fameuse censure de l'époque (cf plus haut) .Série nostalgique par essence , du pur bonheur , et j'ai hâte d'être le 25 mai 2016 pour avoir la saison 2 . (enfin une série qui sort jusqu'à la dernière saison au contraire de la série « full house » de chez warner … pathétique )Les saisons 3 et 4 sortiront vers la fin 2016 début 2017 …. haaa c'est longImage : Quelques artéfacts lors des premiers épisodes probablement dues au master US d'origine. Le reste des épisodes l'image est assez bonne pour une saison de 1984-1985Son français , un peu caverneux mais correct . Son VO , très bon si on prend en compte l'âge de la série.Chapitrage : étrange pour ma part : pas de chapitre en milieu d'épisodeMenu : Simple mais très "Zoli" avec le générique qui tourne en boucleEn résumé , très bonne série et une édition respectueuse des clients nostalgiques que nous sommes ^^

Une vidéo nostalgie bien agréable !
