The Funniest Show on TV That You Aren't Watching!

Updated on 8/3/2015 at 5:51 PM

We get it, there's a lot to watch on TV these days — choosing between bachelors, talent shows, and real housewives can feel like a full-time job. But if you want a good laugh — and we mean one that will have you wishing you'd done a lot more kegels — you need to tune in to Bravo's Odd Mom Out. The scripted series centers on Jill Weber, an NYC mom who just doesn't fit in with the moms in her kids' school and social circles. As she tries to navigate the waters of kindergarten admissions, child care, and maintaining a healthy sex life when you have a child who calls out with nightmares each night, viewers are treated to one-liners and parenting observations that are guaranteed to make you blush!

Though the show highlights the überrich parenting circles of NYC's Upper East Side, its themes are universal. "I think wherever you are there are rich b*tches and in-laws and some sort of 'scene,'" shares the show's creator and star, Jill Kargman. "The metric may shift from town to town, but it's the same idea — humans can be cliquey and competitive and you can always feel like the odd mom out."

Still not watching it? Here are five reasons you should catch up with a minimarathon On Demand before the season finale tonight.

Because making mom friends is the worst.

There are apps, Facebook groups, and whole books dedicated to the matter of making mom friends, but that doesn't make it easy to find your mommy BFF.

"It's nuts but when you think about it, just because you spread 'em and shat out a kid at the same time doesn't mean you're kindred spirits," Jill says. "You're really at square one on the playground!"

Because we all don't march to the beat of the same drummer.

Perhaps the most charming aspect of the show is that Jill doesn't make excuses for her nonconformist beliefs. When the headmistress of her kids' preschool warns Jill that her kids may not get in to any of the kindergartens they're applying to, the woman remarks, "Unfortunately, while you are different, you don't technically qualify as diversity." Which pretty much summarizes the protagonist's position on the show.

Because we've all felt like a brunette in a sea of blondes at some point.

On the show, Jill is a literal brunette in a sea of blondes, but it stands for so much more. Whether you're the working mom in a community of stay-at-home moms, the mom dressed in jeans when everyone else is in workout gear, or the bottle-feeding mom in a group filled with breastfeeders, we've all felt like the sore thumb at some point. And that's where the show really hits its stride!

Because she says all the things moms are thinking but afraid to say.

Kegels, ladies. Kegels. That's the only way you're getting through this show. Series creator and star Jill Kargman uses her own parenting experiences — and those she witnesses in her neighborhood — as the basis for her show. So when she meets a mom at a birthday party and has a secret crush on her, it's real. And when her sister-in-law frets that her newborn isn't pretty enough to be seen at her sip-and-see, it's real.

"Peeps are really supportive and high-fivey since they thought those things too," Jill says. "Even the girls in cliques felt a release with the laughs, which was nice."

Because Jill Kargman is hysterical.

As the odd mom who must find her way in a world full of "mombots," who is the only mom she knows with no hired help at home and who prefers family underwear dance parties to kiddie piano lessons, Jill approaches each new encounter with laugh-out-loud one-liners. She may live a rich mom's life (compared to most of us), but she's the charity case in her clique, so her outside-looking-in perspective is the perfect blend of humor and charm.
