Tons of Fun

"Tons of Fun" is the third episode in the third season of Punky Brewster.

Summary
Punky and Henry welcome a visit from Henry's niece Louise (Danielle Rioux) from Toledo, Ohio, and Louise is carrying much more weight than she used to have. Louise handles the reactions with good humor at first, but after getting insulted by Margaux, Louise confides to Punky that she's unhappy with her weight. Punky organizes an extensive (and exhausting) weight-loss program for everyone, but Louise ends up gaining weight, and no one can understand why—until Punky finds Louise about to eat a midnight snack that takes up the entire kitchen table. Punky talks to Louise, and Louise takes her words to heart. Four months later, Louise makes a return visit, having successfully lost a great deal of weight.
