The Baby-Sitters Club
The Ann M. Martin books adapted with a hand-lettered, sticker-book title sequence.
The Baby-Sitters Club opens with a main title sequence of 85 seconds.
At 85 seconds, it opens well above the 38-second median for comedy sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on Netflix in 2020, when Top Boy, Big Mouth and Cobra Kai were also on the network.
The opening titles
Season 1
85sFan upload taken from a single episode — the open carries that episode's title card at the end, which is why the clip runs longer than the sequence itself.
