HBO only aired one 13-episode season of The Baby-Sitters Club back in 1990, but the Disney Channel kept it alive by broadcasting reruns from 1994-1997.
Columbia Pictures later adapted the books into a 1995 feature film -starring Ellen Burstyn, Rachael Leigh Cook, and Schulyer Fisk - which earned mixed reviews and pulled $9.6M at the box office.
