The girls are activists in one of the early episodes too, enacting some social justice mottoes and actions.
Add normalizing homosexuality and gay marriage to the growing list of undesirable traits in this series. In another early episode, one character is now revealed to have two “dads.” This is also taken as normal and not remarked upon. It’s so palpable I can practically see the writers inserting lines into the script that no tween would ever say. This thread of feminism signaled in the first minute is a heavy theme throughout the first three episodes that I watched. So…feminism and disrespect in under one minute. She also mocked the teacher because he gave her a detention for standing up and shouting in class, dismissing his attitude because he thinks girls should be “polite and invisible.” No, just respectful, I say.

Thirteen episodes were made and aired on HBO, with reruns continually on Disney and Nickelodeon between 19. There were 213 books published over the course of the series (not all written by Martin) and the books’ success eventually led to a television series in the 90s. Martin and published by Scholastic between 19, that sold 176 million copies. The Baby-Sitters Club (also known as BSC) is a series of novels written by Ann M.
