Idiotsitter

I just found this show on Hulu and I was hooked from the very first episode! It reminds me a lot of the "female" version of Workaholics in which one of the main characters also plays in. I love the instant chemistry between the two leading ladies and how effortless their acting is in this show. It's kooky and somewhat bizarre but in a good and raunchy way. I've only seen six episodes so far but will look forward with anticipation to watching many more! Great acting, fun show, and the zaniness is very much entertaining.

This is an adult-themed show so please do not watch with children under 16 in the room.

the show is "my type of humor" its silly immature and "stupid in a clever way". every episode has given me 2 belly laughs. while i can understand someone seeing their obnoxiousness as forced and shrill, its never annoying for more than a moment before it makes you laugh again. the budget seems to be pretty good. the character acting stupid (gene) isn't really that stupid, its more schticky. the two girls really act like a caricaturized version of me and my best friend. the show has great guest characters. this show is one of the best things to come out of comedy central in a long time. this isn't going to appeal to the masses but if you like friends giving each other a hard time and acting like grown up kids then its for you. i cant even compare it to any other show.

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.

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.

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
