TV Time: Schitt’s Creek

Schitt’s Creek.  Have you seen it?

Schitt’s Creek (stylized as Schitt$ Creek) is a Canadian television sitcom created by father and son Eugene and Dan Levy that aired on CBC Television from January 13, 2015, to April 7, 2020.  It consists of 80 episodes spread over six seasons.  Produced by Not a Real Company Productions and Anonymous Content, the series follows the formerly wealthy Rose family’s trials and tribulations. After Rose’s business manager embezzles the family business, Rose Video, the family loses its fortune and relocates to Schitt’s Creek, a small town they once purchased as a joke.  Now living in a motel, Johnny Rose (Eugene Levy) and Moira Rose (Catherine O’Hara)—along with their adult children, David (Dan Levy) and Alexis (Annie Murphy)—must adjust to life without money and with each other.  via

Okay.  I feel like I have a secret and I’m bursting to tell someone.  And I can keep a secret forever and not feel that.  So here it is, with all the squeals and wiggles that would accompany an announcement of this magnitude and all that it deserves.  WE LOVE THIS SHOW!  I’m not using that as a collective we either.  Denton and I finished the last episode last night and before the credits even started to roll he said:  “Let’s watch it again.  Right now.”

From the very first episode you are going to laugh out loud.  But you are also going to fall in love with the entire cast which is what is going to keep you watching until the very end.  They are stellar.  Absolutely stellar.

I could rhapsodize on and on about each one of them; why I love each character on the show, how they play off of one another and the rhythm that they have from the get go, but you should just go watch it for yourself.  They are magnificent and I cried when it ended because I wanted to keep watching to see what happens with them all next.  I can’t think of more telling praise.
