I have fond memories of Punky Brewster. Every Saturday morning with a big bowl of cereal watching you both. Learned a lot of life lessons from the show.

[@horizontoday7874]

Right! This is where I know Cherie from

[@jeraldford3494]

I have the DVD punky brewster

[@darrellglover493]

The moment we ALL BEEN WAITING ON.... like, forever. FINALLY

[@kendallrivers1119]

That and for hopefully Jaleel White to make his Cherie's World debut!

[@realartist_eric2365]

@@kendallrivers1119 yes. Love Jaleel too.

[@gag1411]

Indeed

[@MrCoconutcat]

75% of Punky Brewster fans are still trying to just get an autograph from the original cast so hopefully we'll get to go to the comic conventions

[@roberthenry7922]

As a Punky fan growing up in 80’s love to see cast reunion and attend one with Soliel Moon Frye, Cherie Johnson, Ami Foster and Casey Ellison. I’d love too meet and take picture with them.

[@roberthenry7922]

Wow Cherie loved this cool!! Maybe you can hook a brother up let me hang with you, Soliel, Amy and Casey. I’m same age 45. Grew up with y’all.

[@ajibiasasaja784]

Cheri👍👍

[@marcoparada6652]

Here's to Punky Brewster! The critics are..well...they're basically telling how this show isn't going to win an Emmy. I don't care! The OG had touched my family's hearts. Those first two seasons were so good! Best wishes to the show, and it's entire cast! I've taken the time this month to learn more of some of the key actors to this show. Soleil, Cherie, the kids, and Freddie Prince Jr. all have podcast interviews on KZbin. I appreciate the time everyone has invested in sharing with us.

[@marcoparada6652]

The day of the release, I watched all of it. It's a good follow up. Here is what bothers me a bit about the new show....the biggest thing. ... How in the hell did that apartment manage to acquire extra space to build a bedroom out that closet? The kid I had expected the focus on, wasn't. Not bad! All of the kids earned focus. Actually, everyone earned equal focus! Good story telling. The homosexuality was so normalized on this show, I'm wishing that more shows from yesteryear to today never highlighted those who felt so awkward about their identity that they altered themselves with extreme makeup or fashions that wasn't fooling anyone that these people had found themselves. Cherie, you done very good! The character Daniel, too. The best thing about him is, he is clearly gender fluid, and normal! I don't know how to better define that character. Put it this way, I'm a straight male, dress uniformly as male, but rocked those Punky shoes from Kmart FOR A YEAR. I didn't care. Now, I really didn't care for the new theme song. Come on! "Every time I turn around ..", and that's it? I think that Brandy isn't a wonder dog. Hell, he is quite a jerk, or a dumb dog, for peeing in the guitar case. That is what his moment was? LOL. geeeez. Alright, last of all, the big moment was good enough. I was honestly not looking forward to it. But, those scenes felt the absolute most like the OG show. There were solid moments that made me feel the heart. So, if there is any follow through in the future, ......IDK, I'm still not excited about it! It should had happened 36 years ago!

[@kendallrivers1119]

The problem with critics are a lot of times they can be so pompous and can't understand that not everything needs to be heavy or intellectual or award seeking. There's real value in shows like Punky, Saved By The Bell, Family Matters, Married with Children, Who's the Boss, Hogan's Heroes, Green Acres etc. Shows that just entertain and make us laugh when we're down or lost. Tv does not have a lot of heart and genuine laughs anymore and that's why it's great to see shows like Punky make a comeback.

[@ashleytucker9472]

This is such a great video! I was a huge fan of Punky Brewster and Family Matters. How awesome is it that you and Soliel are still best friends and sisters!!!!

[@TheConnonedrum]

Chi-town Stand up....My hometown and not too many places like it. I love seeing Soleil and Cherie together. They bring back so many great memories from my childhood. Thank you guys for doing this interview. Honestly if you guys had a regular podcast together this thing would blow up so much. Keep up the great work both of you and be safe out there.

[@Not4Every1x]

You guys really nailed that Punky Reboot! The way it respects old fans while reaching out to new ones is not easy to do. Punky and Cherie are all grown up but still have the same good qualities, still trying to make things better for everyone.

[@dedeswife]

I would love for Mark-Paul Gosselaar to reprise his role as Walker Wimbley! Punky’s old math tutor! You’ve got to get him for the show! I would also love to see grown up Punky reopen Punky’s Place restaurant, with all the 80’s decor like the original! How cute would that be?!

[@nancyhey1012]

It seems like any time Mark Paul Gosselaar appeared in a show, such as Wonder Years or Punky Brewster he always got cast in the role of someone who was kind of a jerk and a creep.

[@mentalalchemysubliminals]

im watching Punky now and it's helping to heal my inner child so much. Cherie is gorgeous.

[@kendallrivers1119]

I love the 80's! Wasn't even born yet but I grew up watching lots of 80's tv and movies so I'm looking forward to Punky bringing back some 80's flavor. I think we all need a dose of simpler times right now lol.

[@snowcat4895]

Punky & Cherry’s kids are Lyric & Rhythm. That is so them!

[@blairbrown4812]

You too,huh?

[@jaywilliams5581]

Y’all are awesome!!!! I grew up watching Punky Brewster saved by the bell and family matters. I loved all the stories from you guys. Courtney asking the hard hitting questions in who’s more likely to loved it. Keep it up. Had huge crushes on Soleil and Cherie.

Cherie Lifesaver was a very important episode of Punky Brewster because it taught us about how important CPR is.

Punky Brewster was my favorite show of all time. Cherrie and Soleil were great. Thank you for this video.

I've been waiting for a reboot/continuation of Punky for YEARS! Just watched the new season and thoroughly enjoyed it! The original was one of my favorite shows growing up and love that it has the heart of the original. Really brought back some nice memories 🙂

[@chrismcevoy2503]

Punky Brewster felt like she could do anything with her Punky Power.

One of my favorite episodes is when Chico Debarge was on Punky Brewster OMG!!! That man was was honestly one of my first crushes as a kid. Cherie thank you and Soleil for making my childhood a little more special❤❤❤❤

Punky in real life has the biggest heart. And Cherie is right there, too. Two sweethearts!

Love u Punky and Cherie! Finished the new Punky Brewster. Can't wait for season 2. Watched you as a kid and now my kids are watching you.

[@theghosttiger1446]

I spoke to you over the phone a couple of times back in the early 90s Cherie. I wanted to say thank you because 1984 my pops was in the height of his alcoholism, but through rages once everything settled down you guys brought me peace, its comforting knowing there is an opportunity to provide a better life for someone that you don't want to see endure the struggles you experienced growing up [this show put that ideal in my head]. I would get bullied by racist ass people at school, only to have to come home to be bullied by my parents. Thank you for helping me realize Death Row is not the only path thats available.

[@RadioPsychicAstrologyByPepper]

I am so relating to this entire comment and I love that these ladies were able to make a difference in the way two other kids remember being a kid as well as being made aware that the path of our adult caregivers does not have to be the only way for us to make a way through this life. Godbless.

[@RaveGamingCommunity]

The reboot is a look into the life of punky and Cherie 35 years later. The 80's was Punky love all day and Cherie LOVE! Posters,Dolls,Lunchboxes they had them on everything back in the day and I dunno if they ever give you your fair share but Again its a good time to to say as fans We still love you both and it sure is nice to see you bring back the magic one more time the fans millions and millions of us loved the show was heartbroken when it was canceled. So to get a second chance to be apart of the magic once again and show this generation the love we shared the message of not every thing has to be mixed up tore down. Positivity is always the message Love one another and be as thankful. We as fan are thankful to see this once again Rebooted and to share the Punky Power and Cherie Power With this generation.
