About this episode
🎄 Previously on the Advent Calendar House, we saved Punky Brewster’s Christmas spirit in “ Yes, Punky, There Is a Santa Claus .” This time, join Punky in 1985 on an animated adventure to the North Pole, courtesy of Glomer, her new magical leprechaun-gopher Ewok lookin’ friend. The ’80s were weird. **** 🎙 Guests: Adam Pope ( WIZARDS The Podcast Guide to Comics , @hojukoolander ). Steven ( UFO Club ). **** 💬 Topics & Tangents: 1. Comparing the original sitcom’s theme song to the cartoon’s theme. 2. Galoob made a plush Glomer . 3. Adam’s VHS cover has a very off-model Glomer . 4. The Master Christmas Switch’s effect on time reminded me of the “Futurama” episode “ Time Keeps on Slippin’ .” 5. Punky taught Adam how to wink. 6. Santa drops off the kids on the roof again, just in like in “ Frosty the Snowman .” **** 📼 Commercial Break: The Story of Phroomf commercial featuring baseball star Bob Boone, 1986.
