the baby-sitters club
If you were as obsessed with the tween book series “The Baby-Sitters Club” by Ann M. Martin as I was growing up, you probably also watched the terribly cheesy TV adaptation starring absolutely nobody famous.
In honor of the new BSC prequel by Martin, Lemondrop dug up some clips from the TV show and found one featuring guest star ZACH BRAFF as Dawn’s potential love interest. I pinky swear that I recognize his character, but I can’t remember if my 10-year-old self thought he was cute. At the time it probably didn’t matter because Dawn’s character was one of my least favorite (I was never what you’d call a “hippie”), and I didn’t really care what happened to her. I was definitely more of a Stacey and or a Claudia. Who was your favorite BSC member?
And how many of you tried to start your own baby-sitters club? You can bet that my friends and I did, sticking fliers in neighborhood mailboxes, although I don’t think we ever got any jobs.
Claudia, for sure! She was so cool. It definitely inspired my first job, but, alas, it was hard to get a club up and running out in the country.
OMG a prequel!?! This is major news. I was always partial to Claudia as well…she just seemed so cool!
I think I was forced to like Karen, Kristy’s little sister as I was the little sister. But I swear to the heavens, I remember this episode. The one with Dawn and the Scrubs guy. I remember because she was freaking out trying to decide what to wear.
