Back in the ’80s, there were only a handful of videogames. There were Asteroids, Pitfall, Pong, and Frogger, to name a few. Now, Peacock is turning the latter one into a competition game.
What will the contestants do on Frogger? They will have to endure treacherous traffic, leap over snapping gators and hop over hungry hippos to conquer the course. Does this sound like something you want to do, then you can apply on the casting site?
Oh, there is one more thing. It is filming in Australia. Therefore, you better have your passports better be ready.
I loved Frogger as a kid, so I can’t wait to see how it turns out, even though it sounds more like Pitfall. Pitfall was my favorite game until my dad accidentally bought the one for Rocky Horror Picture Show.
On February 25th, Punky Brewster is all grown up and back with new episodes on Peacock TV. We know that her character is divorced from Freddie Prinze, Jr., but what about her BFF?
Today, we found out about her best friend’s love life. Cherie Johnson, who plays Cherie, will be dating someone special. “I am absolutely thrilled (SO excited) you accepted the invitation to be my girlfriend on the new Punky Brewster @jasikaistrycurious you are brilliant, beautiful and so kind,” Johnson wrote. “We are so lucky to have you join this melting pot Punky fam as ‘Cherie’s’ girlfriend, Lauren!” Jasika Nicole is best known for playing Astrid Farnsworth on Fringe.
This announcement makes me want to watch the sequel even more. I am happy they did make the show super sweet and innocent as its competitor would do.
When Peacock launched, they announced they were doing a reboot of Saved By the Bell with Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley. Needless to say, the fans didn’t need caffeine pills to get so excited.
Therefore, when the show debuted on Thanksgiving, the ’90s kids, who spent their Saturday mornings with them, were excited to do it again. Especially, since they got a Zack Attack from Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffani Amber Thiessen, and Lark Vorhees.
However, it was not just about them, but it is also about the newest class. This season they took on many important topics such as race, inclusion, class, and education.
In other words, it has things for the original fans and the newer ones. Thus, it makes sense that the show got picked up for 10 more classes, I mean episodes.
When Peacock announced what shows they are rebooting at their launch party, I was most excited for Punky Brewster. Well, after months and months of waiting, the revival, that stars the show’s original actresses Soleil Moon Frye and Cherie Johnson, finally has a premiere date.
That date is February 25th. Valentine’s Day is coming a little late this year. Then again, what isn’t?
Until the sitcom starts streaming, I am just going to listen to the happy theme song over and over again because all of this makes me happy. Things we need more of in 2021!
As happy as I am, there is one thing missing from this photo. That thing is a dog. Punky needs a dog!
Last year when Peacock announced that they were doing a Saved By the Bell reboot with Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley, none of the other cast members seemed to know about it. Well, things changed; Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Tiffany Amber Theissen are now part of the sitcom that debuts on November 25th.
Today, we get to see the four of them reunited in the trailer. While it is not the Bayside we grew up with, it is still nice to see them together again. Are you excited for the Zack Attack in a month?
