Punky Brewster

Punky Brewster is an American sitcom about a girl named Punky Brewster being raised by her foster parent . The show ran on NBC from September 16, 1984 to September 7, 1986 and again in first-run syndication from October 30, 1987 to May 27, 1988. Penelope "Punky" Brewster is a warm, funny and bright child. Her father walked out on her family, then her mother abandoned her at a Chicago shopping center, leaving Punky alone with her dog Brandon. Afterwards, Punky discovered a vacant apartment in a local building. The building is managed by photographer Henry Warnimont , an elderly widowed... gentleman who is something of a grouch. Punky quickly became friends with Cherie Johnson , a young girl who lived upstairs in Henry's building with her grandmother, Betty Johnson , who worked as an RN at the local Cook County Hospital. Henry discovers Punky in the empty apartment across from his, and hears her story. The relationship between the two blossoms, despite red tape from social workers, who ultimately rally to Henry's side.
