Was watching the episode when Nell's mother had eye surgery and she stated she hopes she can see again because she just loves watching "Punky Brewster"


LOL. I call that a indirect promotion of one of the shows on the same network:wave:

I remember that incident too. There are a lot of situations in which character's from one show work mentions of another show on the same network into the story. I think it is considered a form of product placement.

If it was their way of promoting, it was ingenius!

There were two different comments made about Punky Brewster in that episode. The first one was mean and the second one was nice.
