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.

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.

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!

First off I'm sorry, if you are reading this review you must be contemplating watching this movie. STOP RIGHT THERE. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. I have watched 12 minutes out of 21 and I am still shaking my head as to why I waited 12 minutes, with all thats going on in the world today I wasted 12 minutes of my precious time just so I could waste another 12 minutes writing a review...OK now i hit the submit button and have to write some more about this awful show. Acting, Ha, its like they were playing stupid cause they could, I mean thats the mentality that went into the writing of this show. I just don't know what else to say other then, Watch something else.
