Back in the ’90s, teenage boys were watching Christine Lakin on Step B Step, Jodie Sweeney and Andrea Barber on Full House, Beverly Mitchell on Seventh Heaven, and Soleil Moon Frye on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. Even though the boys might have had their posters on their walls, they never saw the five actresses together.
But that changed recently when they had a girls’ night in for the How Rude podcast! And they all look as happy at the boys who will be dreaming about these five tonight.
On that note. It would be a dream if they did a sitcom together. It could be five life-long friends, all at different stages of their lives, but they are always there for each other.
When NBC Universal announced that they were launching the streaming network Peacock, they revealed that they were doing a revival of Punky Brewster. Kids of the ’80s were like super excited to have her back.
But unfortunately, I found it to be a letdown. It felt like a completely different show that was not loyal to the original.
I guess I am not alone because Variety is reporting that Peacock cancelled the sitcom after 10 episodes.
Do you find this news grossaroo, or do you think they made the right choice?
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 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!
Soleil Moon Frye just wrapped the first season of the Punky Brewster revival for Peacock, and that is not the only thing she wrapped in 2020.
The actress and her husband, Jason Goldberg, should have been celebrating their 22nd and 2 month wedding anniversary on Christmas. Instead, they were figuring out how to announce that they separated earlier this year.
Frye and the producer “quietly separated this year,” her rep told People. “Their priority will continue to be their four beautiful children as they move forward with love and compassion.”
Those four children are Poet Sienna Rose, 15, and Jagger Joseph Blue, 12, and sons Lyric Sonny Roads, 6, and Story, 4.
Along with being part of Punky Brewster’s revival, she will also be heard in the Proud Family reboot on Disney+ next year.
