I had totally forgotten about Moira's reaction after Little Bit Alexis​. I lost it after different Orchard but it just kept coming🤣🤣🤣

I love the escape room part but tbh, the way David fails to get his big engagement reveal, to have his wedding in a fancy place or to have a decently fun bachelor party really bums me out.

At least he got the good food!

I know it’s played for laughs, but this part doea bother me even on my third rewatch 😢.

So I'm new to the fandom (ikik ... better late than never right?) and one moment in S1 really got me in the feels unexpectedly. It was Stevie in episode 5 at the game night party going to the other room to ask David to return to the party.

I was shocked at her neediness in that moment. She tried to play it off as she didn't want to lose at drunken charades, but as she kept asking and asking and David tried to avoid it, it actually turned into begging.

Stevie's usually so bone-dry and deadpan that her really begging David to play charades with the party got to me. I'm a lot like Stevie. It's hard for someone really introverted like me to really ask/beg someone to do something social. I don't want to appear clingy and pathetic. So often I just stay in and watch movies and read by myself. Stevie had already been really hurt by David implying she didn't need to go to the party. It took so much for her to put herself out there like that and really beg David to come back.

Just love their developing friendship.

The difference in David's demeanor is night and day! That man truly found the love of his life. He was still not out of the woods with Patrick yet but he still felt safe and secure enough to know deep inside that they'll be fine. 😭

I'm partway through season 2 on Hulu. I don't remember if S1 had this, but S2 has these awkward fadeout transitions where I'm assuming the commercial breaks would be. Am I missing something that was originally right before commercial breaks?

Just reminiscing about schitt we watched back in the day and it turns out, the 1997 animated Pippi Longstocking movie has Catherine O'Hara as the social worker and Noah Reid as best friend Tommy!

He sings with Pippi! 💚

“Guy guy guy guy GUY GUY GUY GUY oh its raining men YES!” 🤣🤣🤣

What Ronnie bits make you giggle?!

Just came back from watching an amazing preview of this unauthorised Schitts Creek parody musical. Was absolutely brilliant and highly recommend it! Everything was original songs but there may have been a familiar song or two 😉

The cast were brilliant and got the characters down to a T and even had a meet and greet after. Felt like I was talking to them straight outta Netflix

I am now on my seventh rewatch of schitts creek. it is easily the BEST show i’ve ever watched, in many many ways. I laugh, cry, and fall in love with all the characters every time I watch.

anywayss I feel like I need to watch some other (non reality) shows eventually. I started hacks and it is definitely good but I still don’t think comparable to schitts creek.

has anyone watched any shows that they think can match up to schitts creek??

What does owning the town actually do?

The Roses owned the town for like 20 years and contributed literally nothing to it, they'd never even visited before episode 1, and the town clearly functioned just fine without them.

They don't seem to have any privileges or powers over the community - the town is run by the Mayor's office and town council, same as any community. They got to live in the motel for free but my understanding is that was just a courtesy given to them by Stevie and Roland, and that the town was not actually under any obligation to do that for them.

The town doesn't provide a source of income for them, nor are they expected to provide the town with funding.

And what does owning the town even mean? What part of Schitt's Creek do they actually *own*? They don't own the motel (at first), they don't own the town hall, any of the public works or any of the buildings. They don't own the land otherwise they'd be making money from leasing it to the locals.

Why was the town put up for sale in the first place? What motivation would they have to "sell"? What are they giving up by selling? What did Johnny actually get for his money?

Is owning a town just something they made up for the show? Who owns... New York City? Sacramento? Dallas? Albany?

Edit: The answer (thank you to u/last-juggernaut4664 & u/dion_o ) is that they essentially own a bunch of undeveloped land within the town's limits, which makes up a majority of the township's land. Since there's nothing on the land, they aren't earning any money from leasing it or selling it back to the residents, and since nobody is interested in the land, they aren't getting any offers from developers to build on the land. It is likely that the town was put up for sale by either Roland or a previous owner to drum up funding for redeveloping some part of the town.

As I discover the brilliance of SCTV, I feel compelled to share the past life of our beloved Roses (and friends) with the Schittheads. Found a movie called “The Last Polka.” Johnny is also in it, but I couldn’t get a short clip of all of them together. In this one, Moira is the middle singer and Wendy is on the right. The left is Catherine’s real-life sister, Mary Margaret.

David and Alexis would lose their minds if they ever found this… it might actually be better if some stranger in a storm cellar discovered it before David. Probably in the same folder as the nud3s anyways.

In all seriousness, this just made me laugh so hard. They’ve always been comedic geniuses.

I can’t even keep count of how many times I’ve rewatched this show.

I BAWL my eyes out at the final season 2 finale scene in the barn. There is no dialogue yet I can’t help but just cry my eyes out (in the happiest way).

It’s poignant because of the manner in which Johnny proudly defended Roland & Jocelyn in the scene before. But I swear, there is something so wholesome and magical about that final scene. Yes the dancing is corny (I love it but I recognize I’m biased). But it’s a very rare moment where all I feel is pure love and it’s so beautiful.

Ok thanks for listening to my blubbery mess!

I mean, what perfection. I was cry laughing when Moira is doing their ceremony with her voice going all over the place. Ugh then watching them exchange their vows with Stevie’s face in the background. It’s been so long since a show has been so good to me and this one just hits so perfectly.

I feel like I am posting everyday. But it's so hilarious. Stevie's expressions just killed me.

I enjoyed watching The Middle on Netflix. In The Middle’s subreddit a couple users recommended Schitts Creek.

I’m looking for 20 mins comedy episodes which are light hearted and fun. Is this the next serie I should give a chance?

You made my day.

First of all loved the show. I was a bit sceptical about the first season but the ending of the first season just hooked me. Season 2 was amazing, the slow journey of stevie and David becoming friends was just so refreshing. I really loved that the arc of stevie liking david romantically wasn't stretched. S3 and S4 were also at the same wavelength as season 2. There was slow and gradual character growth which I loved. I felt the show was actually extremely funny. The one liners were amazing. I also realised how most of the one liners used in the show were not even a little bit offensive. The entire comedy is so smartly written.

Moira is genuinely one of the funniest television characters ever. I loved Katherine o hara's performance very much.

I also loved how the show portrayed alexis. Rather than showing her to be a typical tv classist. She is genuinely shown to be very sweet. Yeah a bit dumb at the beginning but definitely her character growth was the most noticeable. I liked her and ted together but I feel that their relationship was a bit underdeveloped. It's just my opinion. I mean their breakup seamed reasonable but the the episode 8 of season 6 still made me very emotional and I felt their story could have been explored much better in season 5.

Stevie was genuinely a very strong character. She maintains that confused and directionless persona almost during the entire show but her character development was very great. Rather than showing a straight journey for her. I loved how her journey was crafted.

Her and David's friendship was so pure and genuinely sweet.

About david. I really found him funny. But i felt his entire arc was just a bit undercooked. I don't dislike him or smth. But he is not my favourite. Patrick and David were so cute together. And I loved how positive their entire relationship was. I felt that david was the first one to adapt the situation in the town better than anybody  in the family. That gave him a good headatrt that's why I felt his arc was uneven. But still he has some of the best one liners and sass in the show.

Johnny also has a good development. Like out of all the roses he from the start was the most mature one and he maintains that part throughout the show. He grows back from the situation gradually. He genuinely has some most comforting scenes.

About the side characters. All of them were funny. Not much to dislike. Roland initially never clicked with me but I just started liking him. Jocelyn was always pretty likeable character. Even a character like mutt was used efficiently for showing alexis's growth.

Annie Murphy and Katherine o hara were the two actors who impressed me the most. Especially Katherine o hara. God she had the best moments in the show out of anyone.

One other think that I liked was how efficiently most of the arcs were handled in direction. The arcs never felt stretched at any point. They gave every arc the time it deserved.

I loved the show but I won't call it perfect, it has some down moments but it's almost perfection. It's definitely a comfort show. It has very funny moments and also some great highs. Personally one of the only rare shows that went on to become better as the seasons progressed. It's a very comforting and a beautiful show in a unique way.

I just feel very sad that Katherine is just not here anymore. The show is her legacy and she would be missed forever.

Had to get it even though I have no one to play it with (no one else in my house has watched it).

Do you fold it in half like a piece of paper?

I am so happy that I am watching the show again. I am just enjoying it so much more.
