First seen in 1986's Kristy's Great Idea, you couldn't really have The Baby-Sitters Club reboot without that see-through phone, could you?
Most definitely not.
The landline itself was set up as part of Claudia's sister's high-speed internet package, with the phone being bought from Etsy. And yeah, we definitely want one for ourselves.
Each one of The Baby-Sitters Club books began with a handwritten piece - like a diary entry, or a letter - from one of the members of the club.
The Netflix series starts off each episode the same way, with the member of the club at the centre of the story appearing to take over writing the opening credits. And yeah, Stacey's handwriting still has the i's dotted with little hearts.
We don't know about you, but we were totally buggin' when we saw this.
Alicia Silverstone stars as Kristy's mom Liz in the series, and the two of them end up having a heart-to-heart about her engagement to Watson Brewer at the end of the premiere.
“My mom might have weird taste in men. But when it came to life, I guess she wasn’t totally clueless," Kristy remarks.
Yes, one of the easiest ways to communicated nowadays is via text.
So it was particularly delightful to see Mary-Anne and Kristy bring back their old form of communication, the flashlight code, for the series -- even if it only happened after one of them got their cell phone taken away...
In the two-part season finale, The Baby-Sitters Club head to Camp Moosehead -- where Mary-Anne decides she's going to put on a play, Paris Magic.
And while it isn’t a play in the real world, it’s something that fans of the books may recognise.
"In the final two episodes, Paris Magic, which is the play they do at camp, is mentioned by Stacey as a show that's playing on Broadway that she wants to go see," Shukert told Entertainment TonightEntertainment Tonight. "It's not a real play, but it's in the world."
