uh.. i think they had him misbehave to prove a point. If people dont pay attention when they are being taught something serious as cpr, there can be serious consequences .. theres a lesson in the way he acted..

Allen's misbehaving in class almost cost Cherie her life.

If Punky and Cherie, and Henry were not there, what would Allen have done?? He would not have been able to save her because he didn't pay attention in class.

He could of saved Cherie had he payed attention and not been sent to the principles.

Someone didn't watch GI Joe.

Check the microwave?

@Celyia So true! Back in the 80s, "old" stuff was REALLY old. I remember I saw this episode on a big, wood-paneled RCA with dials that we had to get up and turn if we wanted to change the channel. Our fridge was a 70s lime green deal.. and Henry's fridge was way older from the looks of things.

this has seriously stuck with me since I was like 6 and saw this. I forgot everything else about Punky Brewster, but "friend in the refrigerator" never left my memory. Say what you want about cheesy "very special" episodes of 80s shows, they certainly were memorable.

I would have been horrified if I had seen this on TV.

That music... I can't

Another traumatizing episode of Punky Brewster.

On the dvd, there's an alternate ending to this episode where he takes the fridge to the landfill and they put it in the grinding machine. It was pretty ahead of its time, this show.

Make that "By law, the doors must NOW be removed when they are junked."

It has nothing to do with air pressure. Refrigerators made before about 1958 (and iceboxes before that) have a mechanically latching handle that can only be opened from the outside to keep the gasket sealed air-tight. Over a period of several decades, hundreds of children in the US died in them from lack of air.  Such refrigerators were banned, but old ones still can be found, and in 1975, an 11 year-old boy died in one. By law, the doors must not be removed when they are junked.
