===Season 1 (1984–1985)===
During the first season, Margaux's socialite mother ([[Loyita Chapel]]) appeared on a recurring basis, as did kooky maintenance man Eddie Malvin ([[Eddie Deezen]]). Eddie disappeared after the first several episodes.

Beginning in 1984, NBC aired the sitcom on Sundays. Because the show had many young viewers and was scheduled after [[NFL on NBC|football games]] (which tended to run long), six fifteen-minute episodes were produced. This was done rather than joining a full-length episode in progress, so as not to disappoint children watching the program.<ref>{{cite news |date=August 4, 1984 |title=Truncated 'Punky' episodes |page=TV–3 |newspaper=[[The Free Lance-Star]] |location=[[Fredericksburg, Virginia]] |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=MeVLAAAAIBAJ&pg=2219,4450310&dq=punky+brewster+canceled&hl=en |access-date=February 13, 2013}}</ref>
