Thank you, Universe, and thank you All Of OUR PUNKY FRIENDS who have grown up with us! What an amazing opportunity you have given us…we are overwhelmed with emotions.

The original series, created by David W. Duclon, ran for four seasons from 1984-1988, two on NBC and two in syndication.

‘Punky Brewster’ was an 80s sitcom about a bright young girl raised by a foster dad.

In the reboot, Punky (Frye) is now a single mother of three trying to get her life back on track when she meets a young girl who reminds her a lot of her younger self.

Frye and Johnson have been best friends since they were kids. In fact, they’re more like sisters. To Punky’s kids, she’s Aunt Cherie. Her life-long friendship with Punky inspired her to become a social worker, helping orphaned kids.
