NBC All Star Hour 1984

as i wil do on this blog is share pictures and or video material of Soleil Moon Frye herself in whatever TV appearances she has been in during the age of 8 to 12 , so basically anything from her "Punky Brewster" era.

with that out of the way i will start off this blog with:


THE NBC ALL STAR HOUR 1984:


A 1 hour celebration show that aired on NBC on Sep. 17 1984.
This special previewed the new and already existing shows for the '84/'85 NBC television season, and has many people in it that are still known today...
one of which of course is Soleil Moon Frye: she and George Gaynes made an appearance in this to promote/preview "Punky Brewster"

The Main concept of Soleil's appearance is her and George Gaynes talking on stage a little bit , followed by a video preview of the Punky Brewster pilot episode , going back to finish the conversation on stage , afterwards she is seen briefly in the audiance happily after a guy on stage used the name "Punky Brewster" in a sentence during a song.
Lastly, she is briefly shown during the end credits.

i made a transscript of the conversation on stage , but due to the audio having the talking part coming in mostly from the right side and considering the source material is from a little over 25 years old, i could't hear/understand some of what was being said , but i'll post it anyway so you get a clue of what was going on..

For now, all i will share is pictures from the appearance and might follow that up later with the actual video material (of just her and george's appearances though)

All images below are in correct order , but i didn't include the preview screen that comes on when they preview "Punky Brewster" itself , because that would be pointless to make screenshots of.
