Reaction To Schitt's Creek (Season 1 Episode 1)

[@williamrobinson604]

This is one of the best Canadian shows ever. Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara are comedy legends in Canada.

[@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin]

I met her at the CNE the summer before Second City blew up. I can still picture it perfectly mid-Midway.

[@CarmelaWain]

Yes !!❤

[@torontomame]

For the sixth and final season Schitt's Creek set a record by sweeping all the major comedy awards at the Emmys.

[@Jake-co3wk]

Not only the acting, but the writing.

[@cityandlocal]

The beauty of Canadian comedy is that you'll have multiple punchlines in a given scene with expert yet subtle delivery. Whereas in American comedy, there is this elaborate build up to the eventual climactic punchline. The delivery and payoff is almost like multiple laugh bombs going off throughout the scene. If you yell out loud, it means the cleverness of it all got you. I tell my non-Canadian friends that Canadian humour is your life always being in a bit lol.

[@lisahood1389]

This is a perfect description of Canadian humour.

[@CarmelaWain]

Yes!❤

[@melodyyoung9640]

I've had non Canadian friends say that they enjoy the chuckle a few days later after recognising funny bits of conversations. I think the mishmash of culture here and being squashed beside America can make some fellow Canadians very astute and funny. I've often been jealous of that quick and quiet humour.

[@aton87]

The actors for David and Twila (server) is Eugene Levy’s real life children hence the chemistry and comedic acting

[@transistordave]

I didn't know about Twila, that's great! How about the 'mayor', Chis Elliot, one of the best at playing f-ing weirdos?

[@robinbaker6675]

Canadians have a unique sense of humour. It is simple, self deprecating, and always wholesome. Humanity always wins, and hope never dies. It inspires.

[@ecoomber]

Schitt's Creek is awesome. The acting is phenomenal and the writing is superb!

[@wwx-lwj-ai-ni]

You're going to absolutely LOVE Catherine O'Hara in this show. Moira Rose is iconic 😂 This show is so hilarious and heartwarming. Simply the best ❤

[@lisbetsoda4874]

She is my least favourite. For some reason everyone else seems to love her. I normally adore Catherine O'Hara but she overdid ot i.m.h.o. and o am definitely a minority in this.

[@carolynquinn8325]

I miss this show so much! It really just kept getting better and better.

[@darcymartin7608]

I binge watched all 6 seasons of Schitt's Creek during the Pandemic. Every season, the episodes just got better and better. Do yourself a favour and watch all 6 seasons. You won't regret it.

[@danapfaff5078]

I hope you will watch and react to the entire series. It is so good and watching along with someone who hasn’t see it, is so much fun. Your reactions are always great!

[@DP-hk6ox]

Schitt’s Creek is pure Canadian Comedy. I’ve continued to re-watch this entire series. It’s brilliant!

[@tylersdog]

"Schitt's Creek" is wonderful in many ways, one of which was that they ended it with season six. It didn't drag on or peter out, in fact ended with one of the best episodes ever. Also - fun fact!- although CBC initially produced the show, the network was leery of letting their broadcasters say the title on air. Seriously. Eugene and Daniel Levy, the originators, actually had to bring in phone books from across Canada to CBC to show them that 'Schitt' was a legitimate last name. Keep watching, all the way til the end, cause this is superb.

[@cathyritchie2812]

This series is incredible and gets better with each season until the penultimate final season, which is glorious!

[@Susan-xg4rh]

Truly worth the binge watch

[@catherineday951]

This show gets better and better as it goes along!

[@M.E.M.O.10-50]

This is a FANTASTIC show. It taks a few episodes to really get good. Enjoy your journey.

[@pocho689]

Disagree. Brilliant from the get go.

[@soniab8109]

That show was so great. I think I will watch it all over again 💯

[@pillylamb]

I love the bits about the town's welcome sign - makes me laugh every time.

[@jackiegood3686]

That one is hilarious ... well they all are.

[@vanessahorvat2824]

Don’t worry, that’s his sister. Hahaha

[@karendaley3184]

Couldnt choose a favourite, but the Fold In the Cheese moment is brilliant and I love the Crows Have Eyes episodes.

[@lunagal]

The BEST episode. 😂

[@CherylWosley]

Eat glass!

[@CarlyMcc]

“It will be four months, next month” is the best line haha

[@jimmiller3139]

This series is a masterpiece, perfectly executed by every member of the cast including the ones you haven't met yet. Each episode adds subtle layers to the characters and the more you watch, the more you care about these people. It never gets stale and many episodes will leave you with a joyful tear in your eye, it has a heart as big as Canada. If you make it to the "open mike night" scene, it is so touching Catherine O'Hara can be seen wiping real tears away. The ending is well timed and brings the series to a wonderfully satisfying conclusion. If you can, watch it all and when you are done, move on to Corner Gas, you will love it.

One of the funniest things on this show is the sign welcoming people to town!

[@KayMozart]

I am so happy you made your way to Schitt's Creek and love it. Before the pandemic, it was somewhat popular but during the lockdowns it took off. People needed the joy of Dan Levy's writing and the incredible acting of all cast members.

[@Dej24601]

This will be a wonderful journey as you follow them. There are 6 seasons and each person grows and changes and reveals more of themselves over time. The writing on the show is magnificent. Each season finale is excellent! The show is not only hilarious but heartfelt and often profound.

[@sachospunn3809]

The final show aired in April 2020 after six seasons. It's also a huge hit in the US, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Best names? Roland, Jocelyn and Mutt Schitt. Check out "A Little Bit Alexis".

[@karenshepherd1821]

This is a show that builds over time and gets funnier and funnier as you get invested in the characters. I found the first season dragged and by the series finale, I thought it was my favourite TV series of all time. Patrick and David are my favourite TV couple from any show.

[@kathleenchild]

It gets funnier each season and the character development is fun to watch.

[@RatKindler]

He's learning Spanish in jail. "Stop! It hurts!" 🤣

[@waynebristow4720]

Another show, Still Standing with Johnny Harris. He is a cast member on The Murdoch Files, another long running Canadian show. He travels across the country to visit and talk about small towns that have been affected by big businesses moving out and how they survive today. Each town is so unique, its the best way to see Canada. He presents the show in a "stand up" comedic way with the residents.

[@Carrie-so3ro]

You'll have to watch some of our other shows too. Another comedy, more everyday people so not as much drama (more "British" in this way) is "Kim's Convenience". It is about a Korean Canadian family that own a convenience store in Toronto & cultural differences & family interactions too. You will also have to give a watch to other Canadian TV shows in other genres as well as comedy.

[@kaidayengsze3977]

For police drama, I was hooked on "Flashpoint". "Wind At My Back" satisfied my nostalgia itch. I couldn't get enough of "North of 60" and "The Rez" for a First Nations perspective. Although not really a fan of medical shows, "Transplant" is superb. And for Sci-fi? "Orphan Black", hands down. Tatiana Maslany is unbelievably talented!

[@lorapridham3310]

Yes, and Little Mosque on the Prairie is great too.

[@looneygardener]

I hope you watch the whole series!

[@waynebristow4720]

Eugene Levy was on SCTV, his real life son is his son in this show. It's brilliant! Kathrine O'hara (from Home Alone and SCTV) is so good as the mom. The Mayor started his career as a continuous role on The David Letterman show years ago. The motel proprietor is Eugene Levy's real life daughter. This show only got better every week.

[@blackcatredriver5878]

The motel worker is played by another Canadian actress named Emily Hampshire (no relation to the Levy's). She's been in a lot of movies and TV shows, including The Trotsky (which was pretty funny), 12 Monkeys, and Chapelwaite. She does comedy and serious drama equally well, imho.

CORNER GAS #1 SCHITT'S CREEK # 1.5 We live in the sticks and don't have cable or satellite....but what we do have is a dvd player and both these complete series in box sets (wich are always better because they come with alot of bonus footage...wich I love ❤️). Highly recommend turning off the news and just watch some down home comedy. It will do your heart good ❤

The series gets much better with each episode.

[@karenpower1643]

The episodes just get better and better. I personally love the last few seasons.

[@Citadel1974]

The episode "Moira Rosé" (S6 E7) is so funny. Moira and David go to a vineyard to make a signature wine for Moira. The episode "Open Mic" (S4 episode 6) is so heart warming and I think has one of the most beautiful moments in television.

Love this show!❤ Such great Canadian actors! Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara have known each other for ages. They worked together on Second City and were part of many people that impacted both Canadian and US television and movies. Chris Elliot (weird Mayor) always plays a weirdo and is great at it. He was in Something About Mary. His father was part of a famous comedian team called Bob and Ray.
