Punky Brewster/WMG

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


"Perils of Punky" was meant to be the final episode

Given the very dark tone of the episode. It is possible the original version ended with Punky Brewster dying.

  • Doubtful. NBC wouldn't kill off a character in a show whose demographic is primarily children.

Punky's mom and dad were jailed soon after for abandoning her.

Chicago may be a big city, but anyone who'd abandon a child should be and will be apprehended.

Punky liked Allen more than she'd been letting on.

Why else would she cry when Allen departed in season 3 ("Divorce, Anderson Style")?

  • She probably thought he'd become a Nurikabe again.
