Can You Guess This TV Theme? #23 - Answer

This was not an easy television theme to recognize! Soleil Moon Frye plays a young Penelope 'Punky' Brewster with a penchant for bright multi-colored clothing, abandoned by her mother in a Chicago shopping mall with her dog Brandon. Eventually, she's taken in and adopted by good old Henry Warnimont, played by George Gaynes.

During the show's four season run, the odd couple taught each other about love and life.

Did you know that 'Brandon the Dog', Punky Brewster's trusty sidekick, was in every episode, and was played by the same dog in all four seasons of the show? That's it.... That's as good as the trivia gets.... Do you have any fun facts about Punky Brewster? Oh wait! Chico Debarge and Buzz Aldrin both made appearances on the show....

I'm sure I could go on for hours about Punky's crush on hunky Mark-Paul Gosselaar (pre Zack Morris) for an entire episode, or Candace Cameron Bure's (pre DJ Tanner) one episode arc as 'The Girl On The Milk Carton' who has been kidnapped by her father....
