Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead
Episode description
Katie and Bridget drop off their dead babysitter at a random cemetery as they re-watch the movie: Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead! It's a story all about a loving family of 5 siblings who have to make it on their own for an entire summer... I mean technically that's true but the "loving" part is certainly debatable! Come along as we meet Sue Ellen (aka Swell!??!?!?), the oldest of the 5 siblings who becomes head of the house after their summer babysitter literally dies only 2 hours into babysitting. She loses a pizza box bet to her brother Kenny and has to go off and get a job. Luckily, her forged resume isn't questioned at all by Rose - the senior executive at this "bowels of the fashion industry" company (her words not ours!). Sue Ellen learns what it's like to be an adult all while committing multiple felonies along the way. Will the kids be able to survive the summer without getting arrested, dying of starvation, or falling off the roof? Well one kid falls off the roof, but the rest they survive! Released in 1991, it stars Christina Applegate, Joanna Cassidy, Josh Charles, and a severely underutilized David Duchovny.
