American television series Punky Brewster ran on NBC from September 16, 1984, to March 9, 1986, and again in syndication from October 30, 1987, to May 27, 1988. The plot centers on 8-year-old Penelope "Punky" Brewster, played by Soleil Moon Frye, a warm, funny, and bright child who has the misfortune of not being able to depend on either of her parents. Her father walked out on the family, then her mother abandoned her at a Chicago shopping center, leaving Punky alone with her dog, Brandon. Afterwards, Punky discovers a vacant apartment in a local building. The building Punky ends up squatting in is managed by Henry Warnimont, played by George Gaynes, an elderly, widowed photographer who ultimately finds her in the abandoned apartment. Punky explains her situation to him and he decides to take her in.
