Netflix’s BSC 2.8, Kristy and the Baby Parade: The Benefit of the Doubt
Summary: Watson and Elizabeth have decided not to have a baby after all (or possibly have learned they can’t have one; it’s kind of unclear), so the Thomas/Brewer family will remain as it is now. Fortunately, Elizabeth has something to distract her: Stoneybrook’s previous tradition, the Baby Parade, is being resurrected, and all the past… Continue reading

Netflix’s BSC 1.8, Kristy’s Big Day: Weddings and Other Life-Changing Experiences
Kristy’s preparing for two big changes in her life – her mother’s wedding and the family’s move across town to Watson’s house – but she gets a third big development out of the blue.

Netflix’s BSC 1.7, Boy-Crazy Stacey: Other Fish in the Sea (City)
It’s time to meet the Pikes! They’re even wilder than the books portray them – basically a step above feral. No wonder Mr. and Mrs. Pike want to bring two sitters with them to Sea City (just for a week, over spring break). They’re probably counting the days until these troublemakers go to college. The… Continue reading

Netflix’s BSC 1.1, Kristy’s Great Idea: I Hope Their Rates Have Risen Since 1986
I’m not going to recap each episode of Netflix’s adaptation of the Baby-Sitters Club, but I wanted to do some posts on the episodes and how they compare to the books.

BSC Super Special #14, BSC in the USA: Are We There Yet?
Summary: The premise for this book is incredibly dumb. Dawn’s father has a friend who’s moving across the country, and Mr. Schafer offers to drive his RV from Connecticut to California for him. He somehow convinces Dawn and Jeff to come along, even though they were supposed to spend the summer in Stoneybrook. Watson hears… Continue reading

BSC Super Mystery #2, Baby-sitters Beware: Ice Ice Baby-sitters
Summary: Spooky stuff is happening to the BSC girls. First, Kristy and Abby see someone apparently breaking into the house next to the Rodowskys’. The police (including Sgt. Johnson) are called in, but the house’s owner doesn’t think anything was stolen. Then some of the girls get notes and phone calls saying, “You’re next.” Mary… Continue reading

BSC #81, Kristy and Mr. Mom: Serious as a Heart Attack
Summary: Watson has a heart attack and is told to stop working so hard. He decides to become a stay-at-home dad and let his vice presidents take care of his company.

BSC, The Summer Before: Growing Up is Awfuller Than All the Awful Things That Ever Were
Summary: In the months before the series begins, Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey struggle through the summer, dealing with tons of issues that all pretty much come down to one thing – growing up is really, really tough.
