Am I the only one who wanted to grow up and be magnum PI?
TheOriginalTarlin@reddit
I was him for 5 years.
A it is 99 percent boring 1 percent almost dying.
B The 1911 not a comfortable. I carried a revolver.. Also Beretta 92 and 94 for more shots. Yeah 9 vs 40 sw debate continues.
C. The Ferrari as surveillance vehicle does not work. I had a minivan and SUV.
D. The hottest woman Investigated was a stripper with a back injury. I got paid to go to every club on amateur night to see if she was dancing.
E. Oh I did date a Hooters waitress. We met cause I love wings and beer. She had a stalker, Infound him, he had a warrant and got him arrested. Took her on a date in the minivan... should have used the SUV.

I wanted a train in my house so bad
One-Annual8058@reddit
Growing up to be the still-kidlike Silver Spoons dad. This show is the reason I learned it was possible to buy your own arcade games and have them at home.

I wouldn't admit that socially... good thing this is anonymous!
Pewpew-OuttaMyWaay@reddit (OP)

Pill Longstocking. Those movies were EVERYTHING to me as a kid.

A grown Harriet the Spy: still socially awkward af and a smol (non violent) wee criminal record to go with it

I was always called Punky Brewster and Blossom because of my unique way of dressing. Don’t think because we looked similar. I was taunted being called Spuds Mackenzie because I had a large brown birthmark on my face

That kid that drove the car in the beginning of The Pink Panther Show, that's who I wanted to be. Then later began to resent the smug little so-and-so.
sd_glokta@reddit
I wanted to join the A-Team. Dun-dun-dun-dunnn...
GeXmomnumbersgirl@reddit
I wanted to be Annie.
Dolorisedd@reddit
Speed Racer. I wanted to punch Punky in the face.
Nonetoobrightatall@reddit
I wanted to launch her into the Sun, huh, funny that.
lalacourtney@reddit
100 percent same. Didn’t help that I am a white female with brown hair and bangs so I basically thought she was me. My mom got me the little sunshine ponytail holders :). I actually still wear weird bright color clothes and shoes and it just dawned on me that this early influence is probably why.
MariMargeretCharming@reddit
Me too! And/or Soleil Moon Frye. 😍
But a couple a years ago I saw a documentary about her, and a lot of other 80's/90's actor kids, like the Corey's, and it was really bad alot what they went through. 💔
If people have different colours laces on their shoes I always think of Punky. 🩷💚
glennis_pnkrck@reddit
I wore different color Converse all the time until I was like 30
sexyonpaper@reddit
Ha! Same! My bestie in HS wore the same size and we'd trade one of them so we could wear different colors without having to buy both pairs!
We also used to double up pairs of neon fishnets to wear under the denim cutoffs! Fun times!
MariMargeretCharming@reddit
Perfection!
THENHAUS@reddit
I wanted to be a mix of Andy and Johnny Fever and date Bailey but I felt like Les soooo
OldBanjoFrog@reddit
I wanted to be Fat Albert…Hey hey hey
Lauren_sue@reddit
I wanted to be Tatum o Neil or Jodie Foster. I’m glad I wasn’t though…
McGrufNStuf@reddit
I wanted to date Punky Brewster so bad as a kid. Huge crush on her.
Mercury5979@reddit
I'd be Smurfin' it up in Smurf Land.
I_Got_Cred_Bishes@reddit
That would would be smurftastic.
I_Got_Cred_Bishes@reddit
I wanted to be Optimus Prime. That would have been so badass.
spider3407@reddit
"Will you be my punku friend?" I could even to the voice
MaybeLost_MaybeFound@reddit
Punky gave me my confidence as a kid. I’d easily say she taught me more about being me than anyone I had in my life as a youngster. I loved the way she was 100% her and unapologetic about it.

Great, now I’ve got the theme song and the same 4 combat footage shots stuck in my head!

Kevin Arnold so I can smooch Winnie Cooper.
BettieNuggs@reddit
i wanted to be pat benatar!
i wasnt allowed to watch punky because she was disrespectful to adults and got away with it lol
Mercury5979@reddit
Ha! That sounds like a reason my mom would give. He rules for what I could and could not watch seemed rather arbitrary when I think about it.
DominusGenX@reddit
I'd be Michael Knight of Knight Rider
