Happy Monday, Punky Peeps and welcome to another episode of Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast. Today I will be reviewing Punky Brewster Season 1 Episode 7 Parent's Night which aired on October 28, 1984. In this episode as the school's Parents Night approaches, Punky is lead by the snooty Margaux Kramer to believe that foster parents don't love their foster children as much as a regular parent would love their biological child. Punky begins to question Henry's love for her when he is constantly distracted by a dog food photo ad job that begins to consume his parenting duties such as accompanying Punky to Parents Night. During this episode I talk about the hardships of a power outage due to a lack of technical devices, and how lack of preparation leads to a shortage of flashlights, also my pure hot rage of hatred towards Margaux reaches a boiling point, as well as Henry's lackadaisical attitude in his prioritizing of parental duties, proper pet protocol, Mrs. Morton's state of mind, and the difference in parenting styles. Also Ernie Sabella who voices Pumbaa from The Lion King plays Margaux's father in this episode. During the last podcast the Episode Question of the Week for S1E7 Parents Night I asked the question: Did your school have a Parents Night and if not what was one of your most proudest achievements in school that you came home and told your parents about, artwork, a hard test you passed, or a play you were in? I didn't get any replies, so I will share some of mine when I was 8 years old I won the Young Author Award in 2nd grade , also in 2nd and 3rd grade I got to be a VIP (Very Important Person) for the month and had a bulletin board filled with my childhood pictures and my Aunt Debbie came in as my guest, and in 3rd grade my Dad was my special guest. I also asked a bonus episode question: What was the name of the dog food Brandon was being photographed with? ANSWER: Kibbles Cordon Bleu Now, it's time to give out my Brandon Tail Wag Episode Rating: I gave this episode 4 out of 5 Brandon Tail Wags I knocked off a wag for Henry's gruffness with Brandon over that photo ad shoot. Here's why I gave it 4 Stars: Cherie and Allen defending Punky against Margaux's awful comments Brandon looking adorable in that Chef's Hat Betty getting on Henry's case for neglecting Punky on Parents Night and Henry and Punky's heart to heart conversation Ready for Next Week's Episode Question of the Week for Season 1 Episode 8 Part 1 Go to Sleep (the first of the last two mini 12 minute episodes) What was your bedtime ritual as a child? Did you have a story read to you or a bedtime snack, maybe both? What about glow in the dark stickers on your bedroom ceiling or a white noise machine, did you count sheep? How about now as an adult, what bedtime rituals do you have now? Do you look at your phone, watch TV, Netflix, read, have a snack before bed? Do you use the same methods to fall asleep as you did as a child? Bonus Episode Question: What are the two TV Shows Henry let Punky stay up to watch? To answer these questions you can go to any of the Social Media sites listed on my Soundcloud page and below and I will read them on the podcast making you an Official Punky Peep of the Week.
