Hey there Punky Peeps, I’m your host Angela Bowen and welcome to another episode of Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Power Podcast. Today I’ll be discussing two more serious episodes from Season 2 S2E11: The Gift Punky befriends the school janitor who, in spite of her learning disability, is a gifted violin player. Which aired on November 24, 1985 and S2E12: Milk Does A Body Good Punky and Cherie learn that a girl who moved into the building recently was kidnapped by her divorced father, and they are both living in the building under assumed names. Which aired on December 1, 1985. This episode shows a young Candace Cameron from Full House. I’m giving it 5 out of 5 Brandon Tail Wags. 1. Props given to Bonnie Urseth the actress who played Linda. She did a fabulous job portraying a mentally handicapped adult. 2. For Punky for showing kindness to Linda and being her friend. 3. For Henry who taught Punky to like Linda for who she is and not because she feels sorry for her. 4. For Mike for stomping out Allen’s rude comment to Linda and making him understand what he did was wrong and for giving him the 3 page paper assignment on the Special Olympics and making him read it in front of the class. He made an example out of Allen. You don’t treat people like that. 5. For Mike helping Linda share her gift when he realizes her musical talent. He treats her with respect and doesn’t talk down to her. I’m giving this episode 4 out of 5 Brandon Tail Wags: 1. The show dealing with the subject of a missing child in a serious manner. 2. Candace Cameron acts the heck out of this episode. She can seem cute and innocent but when she discovers her father’s been lying to her, she turns on a dime and demands to know the truth. 3. Henry and Betty taking this matter to heart when they discover the milk carton with Julie/Jennifer’s face on it. Henry immediately goes on the offense after Mr. Whitney explains why he took his daughter. He tells him that what he did was out of selfishness not love. 4. Punky and Cherie being so welcoming in befriending Julie. And how they wanted to help her when her situation became dire after she discovered her face on the milk carton. I had to knock a tail wag off because honestly Betty should have been watching those girls making that cake, so that way she could step in and make a correction and she could have seen the milk carton sooner and decided the best way to break it to Julie instead of the girls looking at Julie suspiciously and then shoving it in her face like hey, this is you right, why is your picture on here? I want to give a sincere thank to all you listeners out there whether you listen to this podcast on Itunes or Soundcloud or any other listening platforms that you may use to hear this podcast.

In this episode Punky is afraid that Henry will be the next victim of a widely publicized murder spree. This is kind of a dark episode. But the next episode S2E15: Girls Wanna Be Boys makes up for it by being a fun episode when Punky receives a remote-controlled race car as a gift. She wants to take it to the racing track, but they do not allow girls to compete there. Wow and it’s a bit sexiest too. Alright, well, you all have a wonderful week and I’ll be back next Sunday with an all new podcast episode.
