Schitts Creek

Just read that no it hasn’t. 7 awards in one night is impressive. And they hadn’t won one before this season.
Great show. Might be my second favorite comedy after the Office.

First 5 seasons are. Last season just finished in April so probably won’t be on there for a few months.
It’s dry humor and took me awhile to get into. But I’m loving it the second time through it. It’s really well written IMO.
Yes, Netflix. I’m only about halfway through the first season but I’m enjoying it very much. If you liked Arrested Development then you’ll probably like Schitt’s Creek.
And Annie Murphy (Alexis Rose on the show) is hot as hell.
It's so good, probably my second favorite series of all time after HBO's Deadwood.
I just had an article pop up in my phone’s newsfeed (apparently Google is monitoring us in real time) informing me that according to Dan Levy, season 6 will be on Netflix sometime next month.
And SCTV is the greatest sketch comedy show of all time.
SCTV can't compete with SNL due to longevity, and there was some cross-over, but quality over quantity SCTV wins when you also factor in John Candy, Rick Moranis, Martin Short, Harold Ramis and Dave Thomas.
I've watched a few episodes of SC casually, but my wife (no pics) and daughter (ditto) are big fans. I took my wife to the cast live show in Nashville last year. Eugene and Catherine did a segment where they talked about all the work they've done together.

The cast are perfect for their parts. We laugh out loud constantly when watching.
It's a very good show and I'm glad they all won. I didn't care for O'Hara's character early on, but then I realized most of my laugh out loud moments were due to her. I also feared it was going to be a situation where the locals would all be portrayed as yokels (kind of like Newhart), but they often put the Roses in their place.
Me too. Working my way through Parks and Rec which I didn't see when it originally aired. Have my next series.
This thread needs more Annie Murphy.
I couldn't get past the first 3-4 episodes. It was awful. I'm assuming it got better but then again it had to.
My wife loves the show. I watched the first couple of seasons, but then lost interest. I think part of it is that when you binge it, it gets to be a little much, particularly the "flamboyance" of the son.
He is hilarious. The guy plays his part to perfection.
Granted, it is a different kind of humor.
David is one of the top 5 sitcom characters...this show and cast definitely are on my top 5 list.
The flamboyance was tough for me for the first few episodes. His character really hits after 10 or so episodes and is funny as hell now
I agree with this in regards to many shows. I've started numerous shows in a binge format and lost interest, mostly due with watching too many shows in a row. I did like SC but only got through about a season. Will definitely start it again but maybe only watch 1-2 shows a night.
Am I the only one who cannot stand Alexis’ character. She offers nothing to the show. I cringe when she talks
I kind of agree with you. More Stevie and less Alexis would have been better. Still loved the show, though.
I have been a big fan of Schitt's Creek since discovering it on Netflix about a year ago. I do think it is a show that got better every year and the final year was brilliant. All the awards were well deserved.
To each their own. I think she’s hilarious. Also disagree that she doesn’t add anything to the show. She actually has a good character arc and grows up quite a bit over the course of the series. But I can see where some would tire of her.
Her audition for the play is gold.
But I also agree with more Stevie.
As David would say, "I don't understand what you are saying"?
Dear God I love this show. I don't get the opinion that the show started slow. It's solid right from the start. There are some good supporting roles for SCTV folks like Robin Duke and John Hemphill. O'Hara is brilliant. If I had to quibble there is no way Mutt is the son of Jocelyn. They needed a much younger looking actor to pull off Mutt being her son.
They are not likable people when you meet them, but you learn to love them, and they love each other in their dysfunctional way.

I laughed so hard. And every time I see a Lamborghini now I think of that scene lol.
And one who doesn't have black hair and beard when both of his parents are blonde!
Right now I'm with Bulldog, but based on this thread I'm going to watch some more. I enjoy stupid humor, but SC hasn't set the hook yet.
FWIW, Brooklyn 99 is the funniest show I've ever seen.
Pretty good show.
Alexis drives me nuts a little and not in a good way. Chris Elliot is a master of his craft.
