Idiotsitter

Desperate Harvard-grad Billie Brown (Charlotte Newhouse) is surprised to find that wealthy Tanzy (Jennifer Elise Cox) and Kent Russell (Stephen Root) are hiring her to babysit his grown daughter Gene (Jillian Bell). Gene is studying for the GED as part of her court judgement. She's a woman-child under house arrest.

Newhouse and Bell are a good comedic duo. They get better as Newhouse gets more flustered and Bell gets crazier. After a shorten second season, the show is unlikely to continue. Hopefully, they get to do more as a comedy duo.

It's really unfortunate some of the reviews here just do not 'get it'. This series is just surreal comedy for comedies sake.

A good example is the episode when Gene's mother visits and her mother is a man! Yet no mention is ever made why it's a man. This was one of the funniest episodes - actually every episode is funny! The creators: Jillian Bell, Charlotte Newhouse, who also star in the series as Gene and Billie, are so spot on with their writing and acting there just isn't enough praise to give them.

The first episode had me totally hooked and each episode since then has been just as good. I can see where some just do not 'get it' because they can only absorb something like The Partridge Family which is spoon fed to the viewer.

Please ignore all the other reviews.

This is some funny stuff right here.

If you like Workaholics, you'll love Idiotsitter.

Maybe not for the more mature of audiences, so if you're a big kid who loves a bit of clever toilet humour... then this is the show for you! :-)

A straight-and-narrow young woman is hired to babysit a mega-rich woman child who has been left alone in her daddy's mansion under house arrest.

Jillian Bell is a great comedian. Her dummy persona works perfectly in this role.

I loved her on Workaholics and she is equally as awesome in this hilarious comedy.

I've watched 3 episodes and I'm hooked!

I just finished watching episode 4 of the first season of idiotsitter which featured a guest appearance by Channing Tatum, who I figured did the show because he costarred in the movie 22 jump street with Jillian bell who is the idiot in the show. I have been a fan of Jillian on the show workaholics for years and am pleased to see her get a shot at starring in her own show. the first episode of the season left a bit to be desired but I have to say the show is growing on me quickly. I enjoyed the third episode "the funeral one" so much I even watched it a couple times. yes this show is about 2 girls acting idiotically and that's not everyone's brand of humor but it is mine as I grew up watching and loving shows like beavis and butt-head and married with children. I really believe this and shows like this are for smart people to laugh at as where stupid people will only think they are too smart for it. Id say I judge a comedy show by how many jokes land for me and this one hits the mark. I hope it continues to be funny or get funnier unlike broad city which had a great first season but disappointing second (in my opinion anyway). I have always thought men are much funnier then women but shows like this are changing my mind. give this show a chance and I think you'll like it

I loved this show. It wasn't like any other show on TV and yeah the humor was stupid at times but that's what made it so funny. I miss it. I wish it would've gotten another season.
