[edit] Debate: Gary Portnoy's official website

This is a debate on whether or not Gary Portnoy's (one of the writers of this show's theme song) official website should belong in the External Links section of this article. Since it has been removed and added back several times, this discussion is being created to hopefully avoid a revert war. Discuss and give reasons for your view. — CobraWiki ^{( jabber | stuff )} 08:06, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd say if it has a link to the theme, then yes. Because then it's actually relevant. If not, then it can be on his own page.

No, the link does not belong in this article. The only related information I found there was a passing mention of his having composed the PB theme. The link adds nothing to the information about Punky Brewster found in this article. - Cafemusique 16:46, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree with both prior posters, but mostly with Cafemusique. If Gary Portnoy had the theme available on his website, then there could be a link directly to the theme on his site. But I couldn't find it there, although he has both the themes from Cheers and Mr. Belvedere (which he also did). Without the theme, he's too peripheral to the show to be linked from this article. - AyaK 19:28, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Doesnt the link state he has sung other theme songs? If so the link should stay. Ps, there is a whole wiki out there with many flaws. Stop having a fit over a nothing issue.

[edit] Henry was a widower...

I made a minor change in the article. Henry was actually more a widower than a bachelor, as was explained in early episodes (he had lost his wife many years prior), which is why he let almost nobody into his life for a long time (putting up a "wall" to conceal his grief and protect himself from future loss), until Punky came along unexpectedly. -J
