 Not as good as I remembered, but my son loves them! November 17, 2008
"Punky Power!" This adorable orphan, PUNKY, who ends up with an unlikely foster parent, older apartment manager/photographer, HENRY, takes us through her daily adventures with her dog, BRANDON, and best friend, SHERIE. It's cute and full of montages, but often has subject matter that's a bit too serious and depressing, ie, Brandon almost dies - he doesn't, but another dog does at the hospital. While this is a real life subject matter, I wasn't expecting it to be so heartwrenching. My son was distraught.
Punky is a great little actress and fun to watch. Her style and her underdog situation makes for entertaining episodes packed with silly adventures and comical mishaps. It's nice that she's a confident girl, a nice role-model for young girls. She's sweet and fair and is often left home alone like many young kids now who have working parents.
It is fun, but make sure your kids can handle the hard knox life before turning it on before bedtime in case it's an episode that explores life and death.

I guess when I was lil' it was great...now that I am older it is a bit blah...but it's a classic.
Punky Brewster is back! March 4, 2008
I thought that It was nice to see the show released to DVD. The quality is not as good as it should be in terms of picture... "Punky in the record Business" is one example as there are streaks in the video as Andy Gibb's character is teaching her a fun way to play the piano. The same type of video problem is noticed in the "I Love You Brandon" episode as well. NBC should have taken better care of the video in terms of storing the masters.
Still... This is one of the best shows to share with the kids. It was good to see Andy Gibb on 2 of the episodes... This was one of his first real acting jobs, aside from Gimmie a Break.. He was really good on the 2 episodes that he was on.
The interviews should have been put on one disc to make it easier to see them all at once without going from disc to disc to see what we want to see..
Shout factory did the best they could with the masters that they had.. In spite of some of the video quality on some of these shows, it is nice that we can finally look back and remember how fun childhood should be. Laugh, cry, and REMEMBER... You will not be sorry...
Great flashback September 5, 2007
This was the perfect gift for my little "Punky". She loved it and now understands why I call her my little Punky.
Heartwarming and fun January 16, 2007
My daughter used to watch reruns of this program when she was small (now she is a teenager), and requested this series for Christmas. A lot of nostalgia, as well as uplifting and enjoyable entertainment that made us laugh and cry, too. These may not be reality programming, but I am so glad they are not! Just a lot of good, clean, and child-appropriate programming that I would rather watch any day over some of the shows produced today with less-than admirable themes, language and downright embarassing humor. A breath of fresh air!
