I'll have no chortling on my blog, thank you. I'll have you know that Punky Brewster is freaking awesome.. for some reason I can't totally describe... and for those of you who are STILL nay-sayers, She is still freaking hot so shut your yapper, go out, and buy Punky Brewster season 2 on DVD (but be sure to say "It's for my little sister" because you don't want people to think you're a complete girly-wuss.

But I'm not afraid to admit it.

I learned something new, as well. Punky Brewster and Joan of Arcadia are essentially the exact same show.. except Joan is an hour long, and usually a bit more "hip".

In this season, Punky has many adventures.. let's see.. she:

1. Saves all of her friends from a giant, man-eating spider with a magical indian tomahawk.
2. Saves the forest by defeating the evil spirit underneath the mountains.
3. Promotes the "just say no to drugs" campaign.
4. Learns CPR and then uses CPR to rescue her best friend who had been locked in an old refrigerator.
5. Consequently advocates the removal of doors from old fridges.
6. Builds a treehouse in a giant, fake tree.
7. Locates her school teacher's long-lost mother.
8. Learns the power of friendship when opposing the school bully.
9. Unmasks a nefarious kidnapper and reveals his true identity.
10. Saves Henry's business by virtue of her exuberant character.
11. Teaches a retarded chick to play the violin.
12. Laments the destruction of USS Challenger.

What else can I say but "Punky sure does get around".

The story retains the quality of the first season, with the addition of one new cast member (the teacher), and the loss of one cast member (the janitor).

Additionally, I am convinced that Brandon is actually a robotic dog from the future.

Oh, and one last thing because I was specifically asked about it by Carson's lady: Punky Brewster has a total of 4 seasons. Each season contains 22 episodes for a total of 88 episodes.. however, only the first two seasons aired on NBC as network television. The remaining two seasons are syndicated, and I have no information about the last two seasons being released on DVD.

The gap between the release of the first season, and the release of the second season suggests that if the third seasons comes out, it will be summer.

Overall Score: 7 of 10
