best Schitt's Creek character

Rizwan Manji as Ray kinda does that same act in other roles he plays.

the Ted - Alexis farewell is making me all kinds of sad rn. folks are watching so I'm relieving S6.

This show has so much heart! It’s really special.

my mother is now actively making fun of Moira's affectations. it means she loves her

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

No votes for Eugene Levy seems harsh.

it does

Roland and Jake got more votes than him! Who votes Jake?!

Given my stance upthread I’m not surprised.

Who votes Jake?!

not to indulge vote shaming, but Jake represented positive attitude towards bisexuality and polyamory and was the hottest character on the show. who votes Roland?!

Ronnie also robbed of higher standing

Probably should have a “best supporting character poll” too so we can give the Ronnies and Twylas more love.

Not a bad idea though I will cop to voting for Bob in this one, even with the main cast eligible!

Jake represented positive attitude towards bisexuality and polyamory

isn't the point of polyamory that everybody knows they're in a poly relationship before they enter into it? because he sure didn't tell David and Stevie, both of whom reluctantly decided to continue with it once they realized what was happening, only for David to feel like he couldn't.

the issue with Jake wasn't so much the poly and more his lack of communication and setting of boundaries as a group. which is why things constantly got awkward

wasn't "at all" the poly I should say

Yes, Jake's lack of communication was atrocious.

isn't the point of polyamory that everybody knows they're in a poly relationship before they enter into it?

i think initially it wasn't a poly relationship but rather "dating 2 people at the same time with both of them knowing" scenario.
it was only later when jake asked both if they were interested in becoming a trio.

his lack of communication was part of the comedic device obv

moira is funny but c’mon it’s totally Dan Levy

Otm

Moira. I’m only on the first season but her commercial for the fruit wine farm had me loling irl.

Also liked her line “You know exactly who are, but I don’t know who I am hour to hour” in the episode where she gets her hair done with Rolands wife.

*shudders* Moira is an agent of absolute chaos. Releasing her into any scene is just inviting reality as we know it to completely break down. I recognize that this makes her possibly the most important character for the story to move forward and for all the characters to find the grace and goodness they need but also I hate it.

Just watched the episode where Jocelyn planned to go to see Poison and I'd like to switch my vote to her.

Moira is bad for my anxiety. I love her, but she's a bull in a china shop

My daughter and I just watched "Manhunter," and when Chris Elliott (!) pops up for a minute my daughter goes "hold on, is that Roland!?!"

love the part of Manhunter when Roland shows up in the scene where the FBI is approaching Tooth Fairy's house and loudly asks Will Graham if he can top off the tank in his truck next time he borrows it

Schitt’s Creek and Manhunter take place in the same cinematic universe.

Tooth Fairy came from Rose Video before killing the family at the beginning

Just realized the son is Levy’s son! Ahahaha

...

man had no idea Daniel Levy was related to Eugene Levy

next you'll tell me O'Shea Jackson is O'Shea Jackson, Jr's dad!

It took me years to learn that too...

I just noticed Daniel levy’s name a couple episodes ago and I kept waiting for the dad’s brother to show Up

wait till you find out about Sarah Levy

lol

He came by those eyebrows honest

Levy brows are legit

they could clean a chalkboard

I'm occasionally caught off guard by Eugene's handsomeness.

Now it's bugging me - where was a recent discussion of how Eugene Levy had surprisingly blossomed into a silver fox here or on Twitter?

It was here, sometime prior to the existence of any dedicated Schitt's threads (maybe the Netflix one).

Of course. Thank you:

Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

My wife was finally worn down by all of the recommendations and started watching this again, and I think she's finally hooked. I, on the other hand, keep getting drawn in and pulled out, over and over again, often times in the middle of an episode. It's so reliably amusing, and yet ... rarely goes beyond that. At the same time, it's so good natured about the way it's amusing and so committed to being good natured and amusing that I can sometimes go along with it, but then other times it's so lazy about it, so generically sitcom-y, that I can't. Like, I expect a funny twist or reveal but no, it's just goes exactly where you think it'll go. (fwiw, I think we just finished S2). I'm not sure I've been so consistently thrown off by a sitcom since ... Happy Endings? (Which is also of course usually pretty funny, but sometimes similarly so square it seems like a parody of a sitcom.)

That's a very S1/S2 reaction! I broadly felt the same until halfway through S3, when the show really starts hitting its mark.

I'm going to be really curious to see what Annie Murphy brings to S2 of Russian Doll, that's an interesting addition.

Whoa, didn't realize that happened. But it makes me happy. I hope to see a lot more of her because she's crazy good.

And yeah, I sound like a broken record, but if you get through the third season and you still don't find the journey of any of the main cast emotionally gripping then the show is decidedly not for you.

the david/stevie/patrick trifecta's arch sarcasm just becomes totally insufferable sometimes but that's life ay

can't believe anybody hates roland, he probably makes me snort more than anybody else

moira starts becoming positively THOUGHTFUL in S5 which i never saw coming

annie murphy also has a new show on AMC called "Kevin Can F*ck Himself" (censorship not mine). it looks bad but hayes and sean from hollywood handbook are writers on it.

schitt's creek is a good cheesy sitcom. that's all it is. that's OK.
