Has there been a big babysitter's club resurgence, lately? Where *Dawn* gets hate? Wasn't she the fun California girl who's dad married Mary Anne's mom? I'm not sure why people would hate her, other than she was popular and from California. And if you leave out the California part, wasn't Stacy just as popular?

But it's been like 20 years since I read any BSC. I mainly just remember that: 1. I hated bossypants Kristen, 2. Claudia had a ton of junkfood hidden throughout her room. 3. One of them was diabetic and always had carrot sticks instead, except for that one time she went off the rails on an M&M binge. 3. There was a super-cool secret passage out of somebody's house (Dawn and Mary Ann, post parent-marriage?).

And sometimes they dated boys, and at one point Jessie learned sign language to better baby sit a deaf girl. And there was a celebrity boy who was not a baby sitter. I remember far too much of this nonsense.

It's weird the stuff you remember from things you read decades ago, isn't it? I remember reading the book where Kristy's family dog died and they sang "Brother Louie" at the funeral... which I always thought was "Louie, Louie" as a kid. I was really confused when I realized that it was a totally different song than the one I thought.

O_O

I always thought they sang 'Louie Louie' too.

The dog used to howl along when someone sang "Louie Louie," I think. I'm not sure what they sang at his funeral, though.

I'm not sure what's more amazing: that you remember all that or that I know it was Mary Anne's dad and Dawn's mom, not vice versa @_@

I am similarly amazed to remember that it was a deaf boy, not girl, that Jessie learned sign language for.

Has there been a big babysitter's club resurgence, lately?

Yeah, mostly on LJ. I think a bunch of us just got nostalgic. I don't think anyone actually hates Dawn though...

[(Anonymous)]

Really? Where on LJ? Oh man I was such a huge BSC fan as a kid.

There are a few, but two are babysittersclub and bsc_snark.

They're republishing the series, both as a regular book and as a graphic novel with art by Raina Telgemeier (who's been writing some real popular YA graphic novels lately). So maybe it's rekindling the fandom? Or maybe a new generation of readers are discovering the books and developing a fandom? Just thoughts.
