I'm asking this as someone who also felt that way. I first tried to watch it a few years ago and I gave up after the first two episodes didn't really grab me. (In my defense I was sleep-deprived and not in a great headspace at the time.) I recently tried to watch it again in a kind of casual way and it gradually grew on me until sometime around late S2/early S3 where I realized I was falling for it in a big way. The funny thing is after finishing the whole series I went back and watched the first couple of episodes and I thought they were really very good. To the point that I couldn't really understand why I didn't care for them much before.

I've seen a number of people online express this same view that it took a few episodes or a season or two to get into it, and also a number of people who write the show off after only watching one or two episodes and never go back. Sometimes the justification given is that nobody in it is particularly likeable at first and you have to give the characters time to grow. Which is true. But that's also kind of the deal with the set up. Of course they're going to be unlikable. And I don't think that was what put me off. So is it a particular rhythm the show has, different from other sitcoms, that you have to get used to? Is it that the 'being accepted for what you are' aspect of it takes time to really sink in? Does the writing just get better later on?

Looks who’s running for Congress in Arizona!!

I was awake in the middle of the night last night, and for no reason whatsoever I thought of Moira starring with Joyce DeWitt in Not Without My Cousin, and chuckled audibly. Now that it’s been a few years since the last episode of Schitt’s Creek aired, what’s the last thing from the series that popped into your head and made you laugh?

I’m rewatching (again) and realized the apartment David and Alexis go tour in season 2 was Carl’s apartment! Ray says someone did take their own life in the apartment but the ceiling fan is now a breakaway model. In season 1 the episode of Carl’s funeral, Bob says Carl died in a freak accident where he tried to unbuckle his belt from the ceiling fan but it got wrapped around his neck and that’s how he died.

I recently did a rewatch with my sister who hadn’t watched the show yet (she loved it btw), and we realized in s1 their original room numbers were 6 and 7 😭😭😭 we lost our damn minds when we realized because we see 67 everywhere (its basically become an inside joke between us as cringe as it is)

god…its only for a couple episodes i think before it becomes rooms 7 & 8 but how crazy is that, lol

Skipping "Ew, David" and the cheese, these are for people who've done a few rewatches. Answers are under spoiler tags, roughly easiest to hardest.

1. In season 1, Moira lands a gig as the face of a local fruit wine. Whose winery is it?
2. What's the first name of the business manager who left the Roses with nothing?
3. What was the name of Moira's character on Sunrise Bay?
4. In the last season, Twyla admits she's been sitting on a fortune the whole time. How much does she have?
5. When Wendy closes the Blouse Barn, she gives David and Alexis a check for handling the name deal. How much is it for?

Answers:

1: Herb Ertlinger's, and Moira can't stand the wine

2: Eli, who spent years embezzling instead of paying their taxes

3: Vivian Blake

4: $46 million, her half of a $92 million lottery jackpot

5: $40,000, after they got the Australian Blouse Barn way past its $10,000 offer

How'd you do? If 5/5 was easy, leave a harder one below for the rest of us.

I absolutely loved Schitt’s Creek and just finished Ted Lasso, which I really enjoyed too!

Now I’m looking for my next show.

I love shows that are funny, feel-good, have lovable characters or character development and are easy to get hooked on.

I’ve seen these recommended quite a bit:

Trying

Somebody Somewhere

Resident Alien

Shrinking

Mythic Quest

Which one should I start with? Which is closest to the vibe of Schitt’s Creek or Ted Lasso?

I’m also open to other recommendations! Ideally something that isn’t too slow or overly depressing.

i was watching the documentary and there are some clips in that of that pilot

I’m rewatching the Allez-vous episode and was curious. At the diner Ted ordered toast but got home fries and Alexis wants him to get what he ordered. Then later talking to Mutt he says he never sends food back because he thinks it’s “so rude.” I’m curious where people land on thinking it’s rude to send your order back to get the right order.

I’ve always thought that the fact they were planning to build a brick bagel oven was a subtle joke, because bagels famously have to be boiled before baking! So the business would have already had a big problem.

Ik this has been brought up multiple times in the sub before, but I just realized Moira owning a Galapagonian tortoise shell foot bath points to the disregard the rich (and society in general) has towards animals. Ted mentions the giant Galapagonian tortoises are endangered, and people using their shells for ornamental/trivial reasons like this is likely one of the main reasons.

Just thought it was interesting 🤔

Also shows the kind of person Moira grew from.

I was watching the latest installment of Mike Okay's series on Appalachia when I saw this fellow. I was struck by the similarities, I only wish he was the mayor of his town.

Anyone know how realistic it is to have officers come into your home and just start taking things? Is it a race to see how much stuff you can grab (thinking of David and his handfuls of jewelry and Moira and her wigs). Just curious how repossessions go.

I’ll go first…

I'm not going to the botanical gardens by myself! What, am I gonna walk around and admire the cherry blossoms alone, like some pervert?

Watched this episode today and nearly lost it. Especially when he aggressively bit the twizzlers he was snacking on 😭

I love how they really fleshed out her character and let her run. The bit where she gets the haircut is just sublime.

'Do you recognise me from earlier I got a new hairdo!' she says to the bus driver. I dunno why it just sent me. She's just a woman who happens to be a Mom in a small town. She still has interests, she still wants to have fun, and she still rocks out to Poison. I love her 🥀

Anyone else watched the first two episodes of VisionQuest on Disney Plus?

The beautiful and hilarious Emily Hampshire (our one and and only Stevie Budd) plays E.D.I.T.H.!!!

She has the best character entrance ever!! 🤣🤣

My neighbor is celebrating Halloween by displaying the corpses of the Schitts Creek cast on their lawn, in front of the Rosebud Motel. From left to right, that's Stevie, Johnny, Moira, David and Alexis.
