Season 2 Review: Idiotsitter is a comedy built on a familiar foundation, but a) there’s nothing wrong with that, and b) never is this show content with resting on it. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Idiotsitter is raucous and loose (the signature Comedy Central outtake end tag shows how much riffing is involved), but also a very promising vehicle for Bell and Newhouse. Read full review
