Agreed... Arrested Development, too... targetpractice Sep 2020 #12
I tried to watch that show. Arrested Development was so much better Coventina Sep 2020 #3
Eugene Levy is brilliant but I couldn't make it past episode 3 redstateblues Sep 2020 #4
It's a very weird show in that every season it gets better. First season was very mediocre. mucifer Sep 2020 #7
Ditto. I gave up shortly after Chris Elliott appeared. tanyev Sep 2020 #15

This is the way we are getting through the shit, watching the old reruns, they are so goddamn funny.

... AD get better each time you watch... So many layered jokes, puns, double entendres happen all at once.

I think it was my third time watching that I finally got the joke about cousin Maebe's name.

Schitt's Creek deserved every Emmy they received.

Season 5 was amazing. I haven't see season 6 yet. Supposed to be great.

I didn't know that Elliot was in this until he appeared onscreen. What made me stick with the show was the brother and sister, David and Alexis. I just got a kick out of them and continued watching the show with my focus mainly on them.

...but I don't really recall how much his role diminished or increased. I think my attention wanes a bit when he is onscreen. But he is definitely in all 5 of the seasons that I've seen.

So glad they are getting the recognition. Wonderful writing, brilliant cast. I’ve laughed until tears are running down my cheeks many times watching “Schitt’s Creek.” And there’s a thread of tenderness and poignancy that really enriches the experience. Five stars from me.

I liked it and watched it for the first season or two and then it was all reruns. I thought it was cancelled so I didn't watch it any more. Looks like I've got some catching up to do. I've liked Levy and O'Hara ever since SCTV.

However, everyone involved planned it that way... So, it wasn't "cancelled"... The ending is very satisfying and lovely.

Schitt's Creek winning all of those Emmys blew me away! I'm so excited. I just LOVE this show. When Catherine O'Hara won the first Emmy of the evening, I would have been overjoyed with that. Her performance on that show has been like none I've ever seen. And then when they kept winning them, I was so happy for that perfect cast! I excited for the 6th season to come out on Netflix....

I was laughing so hard and people were staring at me. Netflix has saved us non-cable people. The whole family loves this show.
