The Day Punky Brewster Fell in Love With a Geek

GeekSugar — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 13:30:30 -0700

Back in the day, Punky Brewster was one of my favorite TV shows. Another fave? Saved by the Bell of course. So it totally blew my mind when a fellow staffer came across this vintage Punky Brewster episode that brought the two together. In this scene, Punky is failing math and Henry enlists a tutor to help her make the grade. Although Punky doesn't want to learn math from a "geeky nerd," she quickly learns that being a geek is kinda hot.

Check out the clip above of Punky's first lesson with tutor Walker Wimbley (aka Mark-Paul Gosselaar) above, and the entire 10-minute scene after the break.

Did you know that May is National Foster Care Month? In honor of this, I’m casting a look back at one of television's most beloved foster kids, Punky Brewster. When I was growing up, I adored this show and I wanted to be just like Punky. I also appreciated that it showed a non-traditional family - with all of its quirks and challenges - proving that family is all about love, not just blood ties.

If you loved Punky, too, then take my quiz and find out how well you recall one of TV's most entertaining kids!

A Fabby Halloween: Punky Brewster

FabSugar — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 04:00:22 -0700

She was so '80s. She was so cute. She was so my hero. Seriously, she was a couple years older than me and I thought she was the coolest. So much, in fact, that in third grade I asked my teacher to address me as 'Punky.' The fact that I just confessed that somewhat embarrassing bit of personal history shows how much I care (tear).

But back to Punky, the real Punky. She was the most chipper orphan I ever saw - with the most unique fashion sense. Through her adventures with Henry, her pup Brandon, and her pals Cherie and Margaux, Punky spread her Punky Power. We witnessed her blossom into adolescence and boy did she blossom, i.e. Soleil Moon Frye publicly announcing her teenage breast reduction surgery, but I didn't notice. I just enjoyed the declarations like "holy mac-a-noley" and her funky fashions. It's never too late to embrace your inner Punky - do so this Halloween!

Buzz In: Which TV Star's Memoir Would You Love to Read?

BuzzSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 16:30:53 -0700

I've admitted before that I'm a bit of a Saved by the Bell fanatic. I followed Zack Morris and the gang from Miss Bliss's classroom to Malibu Sands to Vegas, and I was pretty excited about a possible reunion. They spent so much time on my TV, I felt like I knew them. Well, perhaps not. This week's issue of Us Weekly gives us a sampling of Dustin Diamond's upcoming memoir Behind the Bell and man, is he digging up dirt - everything from alleging that Mark-Paul Gosselaar used steroids to the spit-swapping between Tiffani Thiessen and Mario Lopez.

Saved by the Bell hookups?! I know most of you have said that you're not interested in the book, but I sort of want to get my hands on that magazine issue.

Confession: I read sTori Telling - and loved it for the behind-the-scenes goings on of the '90s cast of 90210. I always want to know what really went on inside my favorite TV shows. I'd read one on Gilmore Girls, Punky Brewster, whatever. And I sort of want one about the real reality that takes place behind the cameras of The Hills.

So tell me: Which TV star's memoir would you most like to read?

(P.S. My vote is for Heather Locklear. Now that she's coming back to Melrose, the timing is right!)
