Punky Brewster (1984) is wholesome and funny and cute. It also shines a light on social issues in the early 1980's. There is a bit of fat shaming and misogyny that made me cringe, but in later episodes they end up battling those issues. They also showed that black folks and white folks get along just fine and are in the same middle class, just living lives and raising families.
