Idiotsitter

.. it's very strange most all the time.. but some of the bits are extremely funny (the burial sequence is classic)... amazing how much 'comedy' programming never elicits one bit of laughter... well this is most definitely 'strange-comedy'.. and without doubt, lots of folks will consider some of it side-splitting, and another group will find those same situations completely tasteless.. you always get the feeling you're going to stop watching at some point soon.. but there you are episodes later, still sticking with it.. the leads are brilliant, and should you like it at all, it's unquestionably because of their work (and this style comedy is very much talent and work).. with so much boring comedy programming being force-fed the general viewing audience today.. this one's a solid and welcome change.. we all have times of insanity, these guys just kick it up a notch, and film it.. very cool

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

This is 11/10. I have never seen such amazing talent and hilarity. Laughing out loud for 23 out of the 22 minutes of video. I literally love these guys.

Bankrupt scholar Billie Brown (Charlotte Newhouse) is hired to tutor entitled rich girl Gene Russell (Jillian Bell).

After a rocky beginning a mutually beneficial kinship develops. The two combine to take on challenges neither could hope to solve on their own.

Beneath the veneer of slapstick humor the Comedy Central show Idiotsitter is a life-affirming depiction of the power of modern sisterhood present in the friendship between women. Feminist narrative never worked on as many levels as this one does.

Female friends should watch this show together and assess whether their relationships are as satisfying and liberating as the one shown between Billie and Gene.

They will see the potential for greatness that lies within all women to cooperate with each other in a mystic rhythm for the betterment of humanity. They will know a feeling of connection with one another only slightly less enjoyable than scissoring.

Was it not Alexis de Tocqueville that wrote of the potential greatness of America within it's associations i.e. the power of networking? That phenomenon combined with women's liberation can be fascinating when played out in a fictional structure.
