• Channel Hop: From NBC to first-run syndication in the final two seasons.
• Contest Winner Story Pitch: The CPR episode ("Cherie Lifesaver").
• The Danza: Cherie Johnson as...Cherie Johnson. This came about as Cherie's uncle, David W. Duclon, who created the show and served as executive producer, was going to name a character on the show after his niece, while the real Cherie thought she was actually going to be on the show. After she understood what happened, she tried out for the role anyway...and won it.
  • And there's Eddie Deezen as Eddie Malvin.
• Fan Nickname: Soleil Moon Frye's high school years were painful for her because of the one given to her by jealous classmates: Chunky Boobster.
• I Am Not Spock: Anytime someone mentions Soleil Moon Frye, she's always referred to as "Punky Brewster". Probably either because they can't pronounce her real name or because "Punky Brewster" is much easier to remember. It just flows off the tongue.
• Name's the Same: "The Perils of Punky" was the title of both an episode of the live action series and the cartoon.
• The Other Darrin: The Brazilian dub has one when it re-broadcasted on Rede Bandeirantes, but the rebroadcast didn't last as long as the old dub did which it aired on SBT.
• Real Life Relative: Both Soleil Moon Frye's real life brother, Meeno Peluce, and George Gaynes' real life wife, Allyn Ann McLerie, made guest appearances. In addition, Cherie Johnson's uncle, David W. Duclon, was the program's creator and executive producer.
