Published: March 9, 2020, 9:17 p.m.

When your mom's on an extended vacation and your babysitter croaks and you accidentally threw away all the food money, you'd better flip a coin (or an off-brand frozen pizza) and see who has to get a job and provide for the family. Even better, let's lie on a résumé to get that job you're dangerously unqualified for! Better still, let's get real acquainted with our new favorite phrase, "petty cash"! When Sue Ellen (Christina Applegate) finds out that the company may go belly-up, she devises a plan for her and her siblings to put on a fashion show to save the company. Will she be right on top of that? Will the dishes get done? Will the dirt get mowed? Tune in and see! But watch out for that creepy Gus character. He's an A-1 slimeball. It's Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead!
