Happy Saturday Night Punky Peeps,

Angela Bowen here, the host of Punky Power: An Unofficial Punky Brewster Podcast.

Punky’s a little snoop-snoop in this episode.

S4E12: Dear Diary

Air Date: May 12, 1988

In this episode while Henry tries to throw out souvenirs he has collected over the years, Punky tries to read Cherie's diary. After it accidentally goes out with the garbage, Punky and Margaux search the dumpster to try and find it.

We learn a valuable lesson here: Respect people’s privacy.

Punky was like this in Season 3’s The Anniversary Episode too, all up in Cherie’s biz.

This is a personality trait I don’t remember her having in Seasons 1 and 2.

Maybe it’s a preteen thing or maybe we’re seeing more of Punky’s personality emerge.

She’s got a “right to know” trait.

This is not a flaw, she’s just got a curiousness about her. I mean if someone wrote something about me I’d definitely want to know about especially if it’s someone I know.

She might even have trust issues, I mean we know she has abandonment issues.

Either way I still love her and her spunky self!

At thee end of the episode I read a few entries from my journal that I kept when I was 13 going on 14.

Enjoy!

Here's what's coming in the next four episodes next week.

Some serious episodes are coming your way next week in the Punky Power Podcast.
