On this day September 14, 1985, the animated series It’s Punky Brewster premiered on NBC. Spun off from the popular live-action sitcom Punky Brewster, the animated version took the show’s characters into more fantastical adventures. The series ran for 2 seasons, delivering a total of 26 episodes that featured the spunky and imaginative Punky, along with her magical creature friend, Glomer.

Unlike the live-action series, the cartoon added a magical twist to Punky’s world, thanks to Glomer, a mischievous leprechaun-like creature who often got Punky and her friends into all sorts of whimsical trouble. The show aimed to capture the charm and spirit of the original series while adding elements that appealed to younger audiences.

Fun Fact!

Soleil Moon Frye, who played Punky in the live-action show, also provided the voice for the animated Punky Brewster, keeping the character consistent across both versions.
