It's Punky Brewster is a 1985–86 animated spin-off of the live-action television sitcom Punky Brewster. It was animated by Ruby-Spears Productions.[1] The show uses the same premise and main cast as its parent series, but also includes a magical sprite named Glomer.[2] 26 episodes were produced over two seasons.[3]

Synopsis

The series featured the voices of the original Punky Brewster cast as their respective characters. A new character, Glomer (voiced by Frank Welker), was added as the "leprechaun gopher". He came from Chaundoon, a city at the end of the rainbow and possesses all of magical powers. One such power was the ability to teleport Punky and her friends, Margaux, Cherie, and Allen, and at times her pet dog, Brandon, to any part of the Earth instantly. Some episodes included Glomer having to correct his own mistakes, as when he plays around with magic and transforms Henry into a statue of Julius Caesar.

Title

It's Punky Brewster is the series' unofficial name (Punky when the show first premiered[4]); on the title card and in TV listings, it was simply called Punky Brewster.

Release

In season 2, shows up 4 through 13 had a first-run episode and a rerun from the first season. The show was canceled in September 1987, but reruns came back from October 1988 until September 1989 after NBC's live-action, preteen-aimed show 2 Hip 4 TV was cancelled. The show was syndicated as a revolving feature of Maxie's World during the 1989–90 season.

Cast

Additional voices

Susie Garrett, who played Betty Johnson, and T. K. Carter, who played Mike, are the only regular cast members of the sitcom that did not appear in the cartoon.

The show was released on VHS in 1991, and several different tapes were made.

The series is available on DVD as part of the Punky Brewster DVD releases.[6][7][8] Each season also contains a certain number of episodes from it as a bonus feature. Due to music rights issues, "The Shoe Must Go On" is the only episode not released on DVD in the season box sets released by Shout! Factory; a song featured in that episode was "Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer, the theme to Beverly Hills Cop.[citation needed]

The series was parodied in the Robot Chicken episode "But Not in That Way" (aired February 8, 2009) with Soleil Moon Frye reprising Punky Brewster, Henry Warnimont voiced by Seth Green, and Glomer voiced by Tom Kane.
