Schitt's Creek - Season 4

Thanks, I love this show.

The video is geo blocked for me :(

January 24 can’t come fast enough.

Here’s a Tweet with a Canadian link, R1, maybe this one will work for you.

R4 Thanks, but still blocked :(

Here’s another random YouTube link, R5, the quality isn’t as goos as the official trailers but maybe it will work.

It’s pouring rain so I’m hiding indoors and marathoning seasons 1-3.

Good news. This is a little gem of a show with a good heart and a very funny, talented cast.

I’m sorry but I love, love, love at least 2 of the principals on this show but, after watching a number of episodes from the first 3 seasons, I’m still waiting for it to be actually funny.

R6 Thank you, that one worked :) It looks funny. I'll definitely watch the new season.

It's kind of adorable how the show tries to be mean, but ends up being more on the whimsical side. Like the whole storyline of David and his shop could have gone full on AbFab with David insulting the customers, but instead he gets himself a cute business partner and the opening goes full on Hallmark happy end. Very feel-good comedy.

This show really does have so much heart and every episode makes me laugh out loud at least 2 or 3 times. The cast has wonderful chemistry and it's always a treat to figure out what the hell Catherine O'Hara will be wearing in each scene.

Episode 2 preview

This is so cute.

I wrote this in another thread, but I think it's funny how the family thinks they're changing the town but they're actually becoming like the town residents themselves and don't even see it.

Where can you find this show?

Never mind, I found it, started watching the pilot, and haven't laughed once in 15 minutes. Do I need to give it more time?

Lots of hot man on man macking on last nights episode.

R18 there are some laugh out loud moments, but the show is more whimsical and smile inducing with a lot of heart

Love it and looking forward to the new episodes.

Link back to one of the earliest threads:

If you like cocktails, this show, like ABFAB, goes great with them.

Catherine O'Hara is hysterical in this.

Loved the new episode, it was actually funny with several laugh out loud moments. It was also very cute with David and Patrick being so loved up. Glad they finally got some alone time.

I'm not in Canada so I didn't see it yet

[quote]I'm not in Canada so I didn't see it yet

I'm not in Canada either, I cheat by using Zooqle.

[quote]Lots of hot man on man macking on last nights episode.

I like Patrick but I wouldn't mind seeing more of Jake.

[quote]Catherine O'Hara is hysterical in this.

FYI the show just got renewed for 14 more episodes in Season 5..

When is Catherine NOT hysterical?

I like how much emphasis there is this season on the sweet gay relationship

Awesome! Glad it will be back for another season.

Moira, as played by O'Hara:

The reason this okay show becomes a must-see for me.

I like the dry wit and awkward comedy. It's not HAHA funny. It's smirk funny.

Plus, the love song scene last episode was sweet. Patrick is so' Canadian cute.'

Is that Madonna in american life era?

This show is great. I love Patrick. Such an ideal bf.

I enjoyed the surprise new wrinkle, I hope the boys get through it.

I love this show. Surreal at times.

Perhaps the word you mean is "absurdist" or "darkly comic."

If it were surreal, a banana would talk or a moose would book a room.

One critic described the show as "underwritten," which I think is apt.

The scripts and pacing need to be punched up. It's all a bit too low-energy.

It's Canadian. That is their high-energy.

R38, No I didn't! You are mistaking Surrealism, an Artistic Movement with a Manifesto, with the adjective Surreal: Marked by intense irrationality, unbelievably fantastic, i.e. Surreal sums of money, Ironically you provide a shitty link to a crap American dictionary, but it's very definition is what I use here to explain to you my word choice is correct usage. Did YOU look the word up? Go away you twit!

I'm rewatching the latest episode (the one about the BBQ) and just had a DL moment as David actually sniffs a cookie. Coincidence?

It's been renewed for season five, new episodes out in early 2019

The show is so utterly charming. I love David making all these faces, like he's right in the middle of either being electrocuted or having a stroke, reacting to just random things. At first I was a bit puzzled about his contempt for open mic night, in episode six, since he did perform some crazy duet with his mom a couple of episodes ago, but then it turned out it's about something other than performing in public. And the show's right back to being utterly charming.

OMG, that's Stacey Farber from Degrassi: Next Generation in the BBQ episode. In her early seasons she was Marco's beard, pretend girlfriend.

Go, Canada!

R41 has STATED her SURREAL BOUNDARIES!

Pick your own dictionary choice, queen, but the show is not "unreal, bizarre, unusual, weird, strange, freakish, unearthly, uncanny," or "dreamlike."

It's just odd and Canadian.

You try parallel parking in a burka, David. I love the odd stuff Alexis aludes to about her past.

Love Dustin Milligan (Ted the Vet).

Love that, at the final moments of the episode, Ted texts her again and this time intentionally. Mixed signals, much?

Great show.

Loved the ending of this week's episode. Simply the best.

I wonder if the ex-fiancee will resurface later. Adds all sorts of opportunity for conflict and plot twists (as long as he ends up with David, that guy needs someone sane to bring him back down to reality).

This show is really not funny and I love Eugene and Catherine.

Cute!

Hot!

Fuck! Now!

Call me Mary! but I am pretty amazed how they can turn vapid Alexis into a mature adult without compromising her vapidness. Like in the latest episode when she's with her friend from when she was still rich and decides against being part of her friend's entourage (or take that job she offers for her father's company).

R58 I love Alexis! When she goes with David to take his driving test and he is freaking out with nerves, she says "Nobody cares, David!" He realizes she is right and passes it. It's just too hard to decide which of the family is my favorite.

Agreed R58. In the bar when the friend says about not seeing each for a long time and how they should get together again and says, "I don't want this to happen again" and Alexis says, "It won't" I got a big smile on my face. She just shaded the vapid friend and she was too vapid to realize it.

Alexis' winsome glances around the shabby motel rooms (when she considered leaving) were so subtle and endearing. I'm loving her character (and the actress) more with each episode.

I like the way the facial expressions of Alexis and David mirror each other, as would be common with siblings in close proximity

R52 they do a great job at playing those two characters with similar looks/expressions. For me, the best confirmation of this is believing these two actors are related, when his actual sister is on the show (Twyla the diner waitress is played by Sarah Levy).

[quote]I like how much emphasis there is this season on the sweet gay relationship

r30, genuine question, both characters on the show are bi/pan, is it still considered a 'gay' relationship? Or is the proper term now 'same-sex' relationship?

Schitt's Creek is so hilarious to me. Love the primary actors (Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara and their kids). However, the biggest laughs for me come from the supporting cast who are so deadpan in response to the over the top characters portrayed by Levy and O'Hara.

Alexis' little hand gestures remind me of those begging cats:

mew?

I really want the recipe for lover’s curry to make for my frienemy.

There is something delightfully underhanded about Twyla's character. She seems way smarter than she lets on (like giving Alexis the right idea about how to use discounts at Single's Night). I wouldn't be surprised if she is some sort of mastermind scheming her way to the top (whatever the top is in Schitt's Creek LOL).

I love you R67 & R68.

I love how all the food David brought for Jocelyn's shower were all foods pregnant women can't eat.

Soft cheese? Really David?

LOVED this week’s episode. Silly and sweet all rolled into one.

Patrick is awesome. Ted the vet is so hot

David is annoyingly adorable in his own damaged way. Just when you think he’s an ass, he manages to surprise you. Actually that’s probably the common trait in that show. Good that Patrick is seeing through the crap and making him a better person without being that “I’ll fix him” character.

I'm so happy that America has taken a liking to this show. Often , Canadian humour tends to be influenced by the Britts and often a little too sophisticated for middle America. This Candian now has faith that many American truly have taste and are open to more than just a Football and reality tv

I love the latest episode.

Love the reveal that the very pregnant Jocelyn has to drive herself to the hospital, because Moira is too stressed out.

Johnny Moira Schitt *LOL*. And the moment neither Johnny nor Moira want to hold the baby.

Love Patrick ruining the moment with David's big love gesture and monologue by passive agressively reminding him about the tea he was supposed to bring.

I fear for Alexis and Ted. That was such a great and wonderful rom-com happy ending, but the show's still going for at least one more season, right?

Yup renewed for at least one more.

Good to hear, r79. It is a sweet show with a very good cast. A minor gem that might become a cult hit even after it is gone

That's a good way of putting it, R80, and I agree.

David certainly likes wearing a skirt.

Scorcese directing sounds like a name-dropping exercise but this upcoming Netflix project should be interesting based on the cast alone.

Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy are both so talented and great at playing character parts. Of course it would be a hokey stunt, but I'd love to see an episode where they get to play different people--like the old "evil twin" plots we used to love to hate on soaps and sitcoms, or a dream sequence or something. Or semi-lookalikes that just randomly wander into town one day.

Just one episode, though.

They’re going to do a Christmas episode this year. Only 8 months left to wait.

Confession: I only started to watch the show because of Jake but I'm glad I did. Sorry not sorry!

Oh please r77, Canadian sitcoms often just suck. Schitts Creek is a rare exception.

Season 2 was a bit difficult, but I have really enjoyed binging seasons 3 and 4

The cast at Toronto Pride.

There are so many things to like about this show.

The way the character (Bob?) always moves his body when entering, and his passive aggressive way of making his feelings known.

The way Ted roars up on his new motorcycle with his new beard and new muscles and just happens to notice Alexis standing there.

The way David and Patrick have worked their way up to a relationship that's so sweet and solid.

Johnny being the one still kind of out of his depth, but really trying hard.

The way Johnny and Moira defended the town to their snobby friends.

Alexis growing enough to know she really didn't deserve Ted, and that leaving his office enabled him to hire someone who would be good at the job.

Moira saying, "Of course it is," when Jake said his name was Jake. And showing a lot of Jake's chest.

It made this list of seven things people don't watch because the title alone keeps them away. Which is completely childish, in my opinion. This comment nails it:

[quote]Honestly if you’re avoiding Schitt’s Creek for the name alone, you’re only hurting yourself. The show is a joy bomb in a garbage world and it’s funny as hell to boot. If you want to deprive yourself of that because you think the name is stupid, I don’t know what to tell you.

Episode 13 of Season 4 airing this week, a funny and touching “Holiday Special”. Johnny remembers the lavish parties they used to throw when money was no object, and tries to recapture the Christmas spirit. Special musical cameo by Paul Shaffer.

The Christmas Special wasn't bad but the season five trailer made me very excited.

I've been rewatching season one and I forgot how awful Alexis was. In a funny and oddly charming way, but still...pretty obnoxious. They've done a great job with her character growth. I think she will become worthy of Ted. Not sure David will ever be worthy of Patrick, but sometimes life is like that. Which reminds me...

[quote]both characters on the show are bi/pan

Nitpick: Pretty sure Patrick is gay. He said something along the lines of his past relationships with women never feeling right.

I found the Patrick/David stuff to be a bit tedious. David feels very differently written this season. I suppose he's developing, but I'm not a huge fan of his arc. Dan Levy writes for the show, too, so I'm surprised.

There was a Christmas special?

I have grown to love Alexis. I think the actress has done an amazing job taking on Daniel Levy's ticks - they really seem like brother and sister.

[quote]they really seem like brother and sister.

She does a great job at making that believable, especially since his “real” sister is also on the show (Twyla the waitress).

Just been catching up to this series on Netflix over the past couple of weeks. I’ve always loved Levy and O’Hara, but at first I found the concept too broad. It was like “Green Acres” but with all four family members as Ava Gabor. (And that wasn’t as much fun as it sounds.) It was amusing but never actually funny (to me).

Suddenly with ep 1.5 I thought they had a strong entry, and the series kept building and getting better for me after that. Whether because the writers and actors had begun to hit their stride or because I finally got onto the wavelength of the series, I don’t know. The way the individual family members have become more vulnerable and empathetic over four seasons has been wonderful. It’s happened gradually and without sacrificing the citified characters’ sarcastic humor. I do think there is much too much Chris Elliott as Mayor Schitt throughout the series, a little of him goes a long way.

The love story between David (Daniel Levy, who I like but who mugs and pulls faces too much) and Patrick (Noah Reid, beefy and adorable, would love to see that ass naked) which is teased out slowly in the latter part of season 3 and throughout season 4 is a deep pleasure and a complete surprise, done with much warmth. Really one of the best gay love story arcs I’ve ever seen on TV. And I agree that Annie Murphy as Alexis has grown tremendously in the part and turned her vapid character into a real mensch. I’m rooting for Alexis and Ted (a cutie playing a character as NICE as Americans think all Canadians are).

I would say to those who don’t really like the first few eps: stick with it, give it a chance, there is a pervasive humanity about it that is very winning and I’ve come to love this show.

And the show is even better after I have a puff or two of medical marijuana.

Where can I watch the Christmas episode? Been looking everywhere but can't find it. The usual sites that post tv episodes don't have it either. And before you tell me to watch it on the original website, I'm not Canadian, nor am I American.

The scripts say he's pansexual, but Dan Levy plays David as gay.

Never mind, I found a place to watch it. I really liked the episode. This part was especially cute.

I was disappointed in the Christmas special. It wasn't funny and even the rhythm was off, like it was under rehearsed or something.

With all the characters except Moira in a good place, I wonder what storylines they will come up with for season five. You know at some point someone will try to buy the town and the Roses will refuse to sell. They could get a lot of mileage out of that but it feels like something for the final season. Hopefully season five won't be the last.

When does season 5 start?

r48 - I had no idea David Burtka was in this show! Does that we mean we have to put up with the inevitable NPH cameo? Ugh!

Love the show EXCEPT they could kill off Chris Elliot and it would improve tenfold. And the title does seem to be a protracted “doody” joke and not nearly as clever as they must have thought it would be. But no other quibbles.

R105 January 8th in Canada. January 16th in the US.

R107 yeah I had friends who refused to watch it simply because of the title. Finally managed to convince them and now they’re big fans. I think the title is hurting them.

I think a lot of the non-viewers who are offended by the title would be equally offended by the type of humour, so not a huge loss. Can’t please everyone all the time. One of my favourite shows, rewatching most of it over the holidays until the new season starts.

I agree with that. If the title offends you, the show probably will, too. Probably better if they don't see it.

I don't think of it as a "dirty" or "mature" show, but it's definitely more adult humor. I've had to persuade people to watch it mostly because they thought the title sounded stupid, not offensive.

I find Dan Levy so attractive. He always seems to wear those big ass shirts and sweaters, so I have no idea what his body looks like, but he's adorable and sexy.

Some guy on here claimed Dan wanted to spit roasted by him and his boyfriend but they declined.

Dan Levy shirtless

It's a mockup fake TIgerbeat esc cover, but pretty sure his body isn't photoshoped, even if it is old.

January will be good to us gays. New season of Schitt's Creek and the premiere of that Roswell reboot. The reboot will probably be terrible but at least it has a gay storyline.

Not bad. I always assumed Dan was maybe a little on the chunkier side, but he looks great there if it is, in fact, a real picture of him.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the Roswell gay storyline. They can easily screw it up.

The image of a spit roasted Dan Levy is very hot. Sounds like he's a fun little slut himself.

Dan's arms

R118 Yeah, it's on the CW so it's probably a good idea to not get your hopes up. The CW manages to screw up every single gay storyline. They seem to have no problem portraying lesbians though, go figure. Meanwhile the gays are barely there and neutered. Anyways, at least the gay character will be played by an actor I assume is gay (or at least bi). He isn't out but he's not really hiding either from what I can tell by looking at his Insta.

Did anyone actually say they were offended by the title?

No, nobody said they were offended.by the title. I said it wasn’t very clever, which is too bad as the rest of the show certainly is. But I did say Chris Elliot is a major drag.

r101 , it's up on torrents, if you want to go that route. I hope they re-air it at some point.

R124 Thanks, but I found it somewhere else. Turns out someone uploaded it to Dailymotion, lol.

Noah Reid, who plays Patrick, is engaged to his girilfriend

I've finally been watching the last season and I'm mostly surprised by how weirdly moving it is. There have been moments involving David and Alexis that actually made me tear up. Just when I think this show can't get any better, it starts getting deeper and funnier.

Dan Levy is adorkable on this show. Someone above hinted he’s gay in real life. Is that true?

Of course he is R128

Someone on here claimed Dan propositioned to get spit roasted by him and his boyfriend.

[quote] his “real” sister is also on the show (Twyla the waitress).

It must suck being a girl with a prettier brother.

Well well well

Looks like SC is nominated in the GLAAD Media Awards comedy category, along with B99, Modern Family, Will & Grace and others....

How odd it must be for the actor who portrays Patrick to act all gay, when in real life, he's not.

R133 Yes it must be absolute hell for the actor to have to pretend to be something he's not.

[quote] The scripts say he's pansexual, but Dan Levy plays David as gay.

When they first explicitly addressed David's sexuality on the show (in Stevie's and David's sexuality), that was the point: Stevie made clear that she had thought David was gay, and David explained people often assume he's gay but he's really pansexual.

Dan Levy is gorgeous, IMO. He's going to age really strangely unless he works out religiously (all men with those kinds of features and eyebrows otherwise age like Aristotle Onassis), but right now he is so sexy.

He's a genuinely good actor, too, though he is not as funny as his father, and neither is as funny as Catherine O'Hara.

One thing I'm disappointed with the show is that in the first two seasons we saw more of the bizarre town and it's inhabitants. Now it's just an ensemble cast each week with an occasional visit by one of the townsfolk.

Any dish on Ennis Esmer?

[quote] How odd it must be for the actor who portrays Patrick to act all gay, when in real life, he's not.

It’s called acting, Rose.

[quote] It must suck being a girl with a prettier brother.

She’s very pretty.

Too bad Catherine O'Hara is wasted in this garbage.

R141, lots of people (including me) love her on this show.

Did we know that the actress playing "Stevie" is a lesbian in real life, and recently got married to......a woman!

Yes.

R143 thinks it’s 1988.

I didn’t know that R143. Thanks for the info.

While I love this show (even the uneven seasons), find Dan Levy oddly attractive (as well as lusting over Dustin Milligan), and think Stevie is Canadianly hysterical, the actress/role of Jocelyn is by far the best part of the series. She is the perfect foil for Moira, even though her inclusion requires Chris Elliot (who is the worst part of the series and brings it down considerably). Everytime Jocelyn walks on screen she brings such a light to her scenes (roll your eyes bitches).

Bring back Mutt!

This season has been a dud. I love David and Patrick's relationship but the show in itself is just not funny anymore.

R147 I agree. I love Jocelyn too.

Jocelyn is great. I do think Chris Elliot really is the weakest part of the show. If they killed him off, I wouldn't be sad. He's kinda like William H.Macy on Shameless. He's outstayed his welcome and just needs to go, because he's bringing down an otherwise stellar ensemble.

R143 is wrong; she is engaged to a man.

I like David and Patrick, but wish they chemistry. They come across extremely neutered.

R151, thank you for your post. I agree wholeheartedly. I am happy they’ve toned him down a good bit. There are fewer Roland-centric episodes and his material is subtler than in past seasons. Macy is Shameless is such a bore; although, his arc last season redeemed him somewhat.

R153, I find their relationship oddly comforting. They’re sort of ordinary.

Anyone else tired of the overuse of an extended “so” to end a sentence? I wonder if it’s a bit that they found funny and decided to pepper throughout each episode, a device to show Alexis and David’s impact on others (Stevie and others now use it), lazy writing, perhaps, smart writing reflecting a pervasive pattern in Canadian speech, or something else entirely.

Love all the characters except Chris Elliott. He’s bring down every scene he’s in. Plus he’s so unattractive and his character s so gross, I fast forward through his sciences.

R154 I haven’t noticed it yet, will have to pay more attention. All characters or just a select few? Apparently it’s a fairly common thing, basically ends a sentence by implying something without actually saying it. There’s even a Facebook group for those triggered by it, so... ;)

R156, thanks. Nice article. David and Alexis are the primary offenders. I believe Patrick had one this week and Stevie has gotten some in as well.

Dan on The Late Show

Was there no new episode last night?

There was a new one on CBC.

I'm in love with the unfortunately straight Noah Reid (Patrick).

R159 There was a new episode Wednesday night on PopTV

Fuck, my DVR didn't record it.

Ooohh…..Patrick as the Emcee! Hope we get to see some of him all dressed up in costume! Sexy!

Another amazing episode. I loved Alexis’ 30second audition. Had me howling with laughter. Moria and Stevie at the end was super sweet too.

That was one of the best episodes ever. So much Moira, Alexis, Stevie and Jocelyn.

FYI they recorded a full version of “A little bit Alexis” and it’s on Spotify Apple Music etc.

I'll say it again: Jocelyn rules this show! The actress does so much with what she is given, it's remarkable. A perfect supporting character actress.

The only character I dislike is Roland. He’s repulsive and I usually fast forward through his scenes

The way Moira pronounced "conjure" made me angry. But I also learned a new word - lupanarian. Can't wait to throw it in the face of the first DLer who pisses me off.

David was adorkable playing baseball.

Love this show, but I do think this season isn't as funny. It's gotten to warm-and-fuzzy. It was funnier in Season 2 when David had a real edge.

The show's basically on autopilot

I've come to accept Chris' irritating character. It's worth waiting for Ohara's comedic genius. Also, Jennifer Robinson as Jocelyn is sweet and endearingly funny. The casino episode was hilarious. Annie Murphy and Emily Hampshire are great, too. Of course Dustin Milligan is hunky and sweet.

They need to bring this guy back

[quote]Well, what kind of ailurophobe sends their kitty out to play on such a busy stretch of highway?

Oh, Moira, educating the unwashed masses once again. Had to look that one up as well. This last episode has been a return to form, I think.

David meets Wendy, his former boss, again. And she sells knock offs of his products and has a David look-a-like partner. LOL

And who is shocked, SHOCKED!, that Alexis has murdered tamagotchis?

Had to LOL when Wendy explains that it’s her partner not her fiance, and David with a sigh of relief says that the discussion is going to be a lot less awkward now. But yes, product packaging AND David look-alikes was funny as hell. And Ronnie’s snail-paced bathroom reno gets trashed. Patrick’s not going to be a happy camper.

Oh Antonio...

WHERE WAS PATRICK???

Obviously the budget couldn’t stretch to have both Patrick AND Ted.

Patrick was at some boring tax seminar, for people who, you know, like to stay in business, as Stevie said.

I loved Alexis' ineffectual role-playing.

And Moira texting Stevie at 3am "Leggings"

So we get to meet Patrick's parents in the next episode. Am I right in assuming that he's not out to them?

Ooh, that sounds juicy, r185!

The show is all beautiful Dan Levy's baby, it was his concept and he writes about 4 episodes a season, and polishes up the rest written by others.

r163 - its always available on poptv.com the next day - you have to watch the adds, but they conveniently dump most of the together right around the middle of the episode. They also have tons of extras. so it's worth a trip.

Call me Mary!, but I love the end credits theme.

[quote]I like David and Patrick, but wish they chemistry. They come across extremely neutered.

I don't see that at all. I think the chemistry amazing. You've got a barely out small town guy and a jaded, ridiculously worldly "pansexual" who clearly adore each other and are thriving in a not easy to thrive place because their differences complement each other perfectly. Chemistry is not about writhing in bed. That's lust. Chemistry lasts, lust fades after the first few loads.

There was mention of some sort of coming out situation in S5, meeting Patrick’s parents could very well be it. Although I’m surprised/impressed the ex-fiancée we saw last season would have not leaked anything to her prospective in-laws.

I love that fairytale fantasy of someone as grounded as Patrick is falling for someone as high strung as David. It gives you some great hilarity ensues moments like in the baseball episode.

Catherine O’Hara The Schitt’s Creek star on her long career, sexism in comedy, and her favorite impressionists

That episode was amazing. Wow.

Moira’s vocabulary

R193 I liked it so much I watched it thrice. Moira at the soap actor’s convention had some funny dialogue as well.

The episode was heartwarming but also pretty schmaltzy, let's be real. My favourite exchange:

[quote]Alexis dear, now is bad a time as any to tell you. There is a dark side to Mummy's industry, and I've tried to protect you from it your whole life.

[quote]You took me to the Playboy Mansion when I was seven.

[quote]And you had a wonderful time in the children's grotto.

I love how they casually mention fans wanting to take pictures of feet.

God bless Moira R196. I think my favorite line this season was "Different orchard, Jocelyn"

Love Patrick's dad not getting David's fashion sense.

No spoilers r199.

(but I have a sense of what will happen)

I'm just catching up on past seasons because I didn't realize a Canadian TV show could be this good - apart from SCTV. It's too bad it's not getting more buzz in the US because it would rake in the Golden Globes and Emmys.

Mira's subtle line in 10, "And then we hit it with our car," made me laugh out loud.... the best part of the episode.

I love that Eugene Levy plays the “straight man”

That's always been Levy's strength r203. He's got that innate sense of comic befuddlement that Newhart had. He's at his best when he's the ground wire for a bunch of crazies.

I remember Eugene Levy from that hilarious send up he did of Perry Como on SCTV.

I thought it was sweet as well. I adore Noah Reid and WANT TO BEAR HIS CHILDREN.

Is this you R206????

I believe R206 was quoting Lola Heatherton, one of Catherine’s SCTV characters. But thanks for breaking that fragile illusion for us.

Catherine O'Hara is a genius. The way she speaks as Moira could have gone annoying pretty fast, but with her you can't wait listening what crazy thing she is saying next in that affected voice.

"Different orchard, Jocelyn"

r207 - Close your mouth darling. That is SO unattractive.

They've just announced the next series (6) will be the last.

Awful news.

While it's sad I believe they will end the show on a high note instead of fans begging for the show to finally end.

Patrick's dad was a hot silver-haired daddy.

R215 OMG SPOILERS!!!!!!

This is the proper thread to discuss spoilers and the other one wasn't. Now stop acting like a little bitch; the rest of us have moved on from that fiasco.

Just announced that Season 6 will be the shows final season. I’m sad I could happily watch this forever.

I just bought an "Eww, David" tee shirt.

Link please

Why are they ending the show now, just when it's starting to get noticed?? If a crappy show like Grey's Anatomy can run for 14 years, SC could still get 1 or 2 more good seasons and maybe some Emmy awards.

I'm sad that we won't get to hear the closing theme again after the series has finished. They could actually make a concert out of that closing theme.

R18 If you didn't laugh at the wig joke in the first few minutes, you're the problem.

It's a Canadian show. It's not eligible for Emmys.

There's the International Emmy Awards

Why wouldn't Schitt's Creek be eligible for an Emmy? Tatiana Maslany won an Emmy for Orphan Black and that was a Canadian show.

My bad, I thought a Canadian production company was behind it but it's only just filmed there. Plus the fact that Catherine O'Hara had not been nominated yet or the show itself made me think it must be ineligible.

The full version of A Little Bit Alexis is available on Spotify.

It's obviously heavily based on Work Bitch by Britney and I love it.

"Vroom, vroom, bitches!"

It's on Apple Music/iTunes too and was no13 on the US iTunes chart at one point.

Will Patrick and David get married in Season 7?

No, but maybe in season 6 R230

Here's a nice interview with Eugene Levy.

Moira's wine commercial is the funniest thing I've ever seen on a TV show.

Propitious, repast... Moira giving me English lessons yet again.

Anyone else shocked seeing Patrick move like that during the rehearsal? He and Stevie were doing the most there, weren't they? They had the tambourine and the maracas and everything.

I just found out that the actor playing Patrick is actually straight, and the actress playing Stevie is actually a lesbian! Shocked!

r235 I knew that about Patrick but not about Stevie. I'm shocked as well!

I'm sorry I didn't find the show sooner. I've been watching back episodes and I just saw the Christmas show. As funny as the show is - and it's hilarious at times- it's those heartfelt emotional scenes that really anchor the whole series.

Now that they've announced the end of the show, I've been trying to figure out how it ends - I think somehow the Roses will get back all the fortune they've lost and they go back to their old lifestyle and/or their old mansion, but when they invite the Schitt's Creek friends to visit, the Roses will probably realize that their old life was really worse than their new, less affluent life. So they move back.

Was meaning to watch this show for awhile. Finally started last week and binged the entire series. I really fell in love with the character of Patrick. Perfect boyfriend material.

The whole "Cabaret" plotline reminds me of how people in flyover towns are desperate to get some glam in their lives by expressing themselves through the magic of amateur stage theatre performances.

Moira not having a meltdown over Stevie and Patrick rehearsing with somebody else (and turning out to be quite good!) is the biggest shock for me. Will there be an actual episode about the premiere of their play?

Stevie: Yeah, last week she told me to dance like an Indonsesian scarf caught in the wind. I don't even know what that looks like.

------

Patrick: Well, we couldn't nail the final lift.

David: What is this? Dirty Dancing?

---

The last scene with the family members burning each other with their feisty remarks was hilarious.

Alexis (to her shocked parents after they find out she has a back tattoo that says "That's hot!" in Cantonese): I was 12 years old!

That could have gone to a pretty dark place but Anne (and the others) really make it funny.

Based on IMDB descriptions the Cabaret stage production is part of the S5 finale episode.

r240, thank you for sharing. Usually not into spoilers when it comes to shows I like, but that makes me exited. Mary! I know.

There are some video extras on YouTube and the Pop Tv website, with Dan Levy talking about the Patrick & David relationship. He said that there has to be conflict in order for there to be a tv show, but he’s purposely writing a gay relationship in which the drama isn’t about negativity from others. Except for the ex-fiancée, no one on the show cares that Patrick and David are the same sex. It’s kind of refreshing and kind of wonderful.

I think the writing on the show doesn't get enough credit. Yes, it's funny but there are a lot of deeper moments in the series. I especially loved the whole set up of Patrick's parents finding out he's gay. By the look on their faces when Johnny spilled it, you automatically thought that the parents were appalled...but then you find out that they only thought they had failed Patrick because he didn't come to them and tell them the truth sooner. That was a great twist to the story.

I think the writing and direction of this episode was really well done. What made the episode work so well was the intensity of Patrick’s feelings. In a light comedy like this show, that level of dramatic intensity could throw the balance off. A lot of comedies would have had the actor back off a bit. But Dan Levy decided to go a different route. The audience learned very quickly that Patrick’s parents were fine with it, and everything was going to be all right. It allowed Patrick to be really intense without the audience worrying about him.

I thought that having Patrick say to David right before he sat down with his parents that he was scared, and David responding that he would be there for him, was a great prelude to the reveal itself.

I think the scene in Season 3 with their first kiss was really well done, too.

R244 delusional frau, STFU. The actor behind Patrick is more wooden than most bad American actors. You will never get "intensity" from wood, lady.

Not a frau, but I’m guessing you knew that already. Sorry you’re not enjoying the relationship. I’m glad that I am.

As much as I like Patrick and David as a couple, I kind of lean towards David and Stevie. There's just something that clicks more with the two of them. If they were going to do a "Throuple", these are the three they should do it with.

[quote]I think the scene in Season 3 with their first kiss was really well done, too.

I think that scene probably brought a lot of us gays, especially those of us who played at the hetero game in our youths, back to the thrill our first same sex kiss.

R245 I used to be a huge fan of SC until last season when half the episodes sucked and were laugh free. Same with this season, half have sucked. The addition of Patrick brought nothing to the series. He and David are my least favourite characters on the show. I love Alexis the most and her accessory Ted. Stevie and Moira are tied for second. Then Jocelyn. David and his dad are sometimes funny but are just foils for the others who have fleshed out personalities. More often than not, David is annoying and too precious.

Just watched Patrick's coming out episode, amazing.

They both seem so natural and loving, a lot of little kisses and caresses, a realy believable representation.

It was interesting that David really went beyond his usual selfcenteredness in that episode. First trying to minimize the damage with the upset parents, and then being supportive of Patrick without taking that personal moment away from him, even though he could have simply said “yea they know they’re ok next”.

I really want to like Moira, but I find her otherworldly accent annoying and her wardrobe horrifying. That said, I ha ve been in 💘 with David since episode 1. I could listen to him say "Ok who's Brad?!" 100 times and still laugh my ass off.

I was also shocked by Patrick's dance moves in the last episode.

Alexis’ constant retracted hands, poised like a begging pet, annoy me to no end. Otherwise, the character is pretty funny and multidimensional. I just don’t understand why the actress feels the need for that constant physical interpretation, just like - to a lesser degree - David’s squinting eyes.

That Alexis hand move has a name: T-Rex playing the piano at an old-timey saloon. Not kidding you.

R254 I’m the opposite i really enjoy it when she does that. I really want a threeway with Patrick and Ted. Heaven.

I would not mind one bit if they brought back Jake (he of the Jake-Stevie-David throuple). Steve Lund is fiiiine -- and funny, too. I have no idea how they plan to end the series, but if they're going for everything tied up in a bow of happiness, then he'd make a good match for Stevie.

Is it wrong that I covet that massive portrait of the Roses from their mansion? I know the characters left it out for the garbagemen, but surely the actual portrait still exists.

That portrait is stunning. However my favorite part is when it was pointed out that Moira's eyes "follow you" and someone says that Moira paid extra for that.

I know that the Roses didn't think the portrait fit into their life right now, but I found it surprising that they just wouldn't put it in storage somewhere because it's not like they've totally given up on reclaiming their old life just yet.

Sad they threw the painting out but it was symbolic in their “journey”. I would totally buy a smaller repro or print. Remember when that Kramer portrait was everywhere?

Haven’t watched it yet but apparently the new Netflix show “Umbrella Academy” used the same motel for some scenes, and Dan was not impressed lol.

I have been disappointed by the writing for the past two seasons. They need to give Eugene and Catherine more to do. David and his boyfriend behave like 11 year olds. If Dan Levy wanted to make a story about teen boys, he should have done that instead of ruining this concept with completely out of character bullshit. They should bring Mutt back. Ted The Vet is hot but so so boring. And they character assassinated Stevie. Someone needs to start telling Dan Levy: no!

Also, this thread is full of incel fraus pretending to be gay men. You're not sneaky. You're sad and gross.

That "also" is a great way to make people want to read more of your opinions.

Curses! Foiled again! r261 is on to us, girls.

[quote] Also, this thread is full of incel fraus pretending to be gay men. You're not sneaky. You're sad and gross.

All that was missing was a line like "Nobody likes you!" to make this childish comment even better.

Won best comedy from the Canadian Screen Awards

They deserved Best Comedy and Catherine for Best Actress, but weren't Dan and Eugene up for Best Actor? I'm surprised that Dan has never won because he's really given excellent performances as David all through the series.

They did well at the Canadian equivalent of the Emmys. Noah Reid won Supporting Actor, and Emily Hampshire and Catherine OHara both won for the fourth time. Dan and Eugene Eve were both nominated in Lead but lost to the creator and star of a show called Letterkenny, which I’ve never heard of before.

The actress who plays Ronnie won for guest in a drama for a different show. The actor who plays Amir was nominated for a different show as well.

I wonder if Eugene and Dan split votes. Annie Murphy was also nominated for lead but I don’t think she would siphon off too many votes from Catherine O’Hara. Similarly, Chris Elliott and Jennifer Robertson were nominated in supporting but probably not much threat. The show had two nominees in each of the four acting categories.

Annie Murphy deserves at least a Canadian Emmy. Maybe a Canadian Nobel.

Maybe with the win, they'll rethink ending the series. They could get at least a Season 7 out of it. Unless they're all tired and want to move on to other things.

I hope they will do the occasional special (depending on how they end the show).

It didn't sound like they'd reconsider ending the show. Sounded like they've got a logical ending to the story in sight.

I'm glad they've decided to go out while it's all still relatively young and hasn't got old and boring yet. Let's be honest, as a set-up they've done well to make it last this long. I love this show more than is probably healthy but I'd hate for it to outstay its welcome like so many shows do.

All dressed up. The actress who plays Jocelyn looks like Kerry Katona there.

Superficially, Dan/David and Emily/Stevie make a better looking couple than Dan/David and Noah/Patrick.

The main reason I would want it to continue for a few more seasons is because it's only now starting to get on the radar of US viewers and it might lead to Emmys or Golden Globes.

I had never heard of Tom and Lorenzo before reading the link at R272 , but I have to say they are spot on in their critiques. I kind of like the fact that this is the Canadian TV Awards, and the actors don’t have stylists and are just making their own way and doing their own thing. They’re not as perfectly glam as their Hollywood counterparts, but if they were, they wouldn’t be as endearing. If they were too polished, they would seem inauthentic and Canada would probably expel them.

I’ve got to agree that Noah Reid is a cutie but he’s not really trying. He probably literally spent about ten minutes deciding what to wear and getting ready. I’m not even sure he ironed that shirt. If there was ever any doubt that he was truly straight, that doubt is gone.

'If there was ever any doubt that he was truly straight, that doubt is gone. '

Slashing my wrists as I type.

Will they ever release this on vinyl?

[quote]I had never heard of Tom and Lorenzo before reading the link at [R272] , but I have to say they are spot on in their critiques.

Tom and Lorenzo are regular weekday reading for me and have been for years. They clearly love fashion, TV and pop culture, but are also not afraid to be raging c**ts when it's called for. Also, they can be just plain funny. Their red carpet coverage is the best on the net - even if they do have their blind spots. Anyway, it's always an entertaining way to spend 10 or 15 minutes while downing a cocktail after clearing out your e-mail.

Tonight’s episode was amazing. Had me crying with joy.

Holy shit. And here I thought the show could not get any better.

It's a Romanian baby, right?

So now we know what the final show for the series end will be.

Good lord David is going to be one out of control Groomzilla if they play this through.

I am so sick of both David and Patrick. Neither of them know how to act. Writing them crying scenes shows how horrible they are. David is even worse than Patrick if that is possible. With every episode this show gets worse and worse. The Johnny having a heart attack story was lame as well. Clearly these fucks have run out of ideas.

I can't wait to see Moira's Mother-Of-The-Bride/Groom outfit.

Will Alexis sing at the ceremony? Or the entire group of Jazzagals?

Alexis is the obvious choice but I think Stevie will get to be David's Maid Of Honor. Either that, or she'll probably throw David his bachelor's party.

Well, I thought that was sweet. r284 is off his meds.

I had to LOL at the sight gag of David opening the box and It's not just one ring, but four. Patrick knows him so well. LOL

What stood out for me in the John has a heart attack story line was how Stevie was so freaked out about Johnny being sick. She almost cared more for him than Moira herself.

I love how Stevie sees Johnny as a father figure.

Yes she was the most concerned out of the bunch. She did throw out the more businesslike “I can’t be stuck with the motel by myself” comment but that was hiding how much he means to her. They came a long way since the makeup case gift.

Hearing Moira open the episode with "good morning" in my own language was surreal. That was prefect Bosnian/ Croatian /Serbian /Slovene. The way she said "literal" was something else as well, and her French "bébé" will never not make me laugh.

Stevie getting emotional over Johnny was my favourite part. Did you notice the little sight gag with Ronnie making a wtf face when Alexis lightly scratched her arm like you'd pet a puppy?

Did anyone else think David started freaking out early? I was like...how did he know it was a proposal that quick?

I mean, he had a mystery black box in his hands and Patrick got on his knee. What more do you need to realise it's a proposal?

Or did he start freaking out earlier than that?

Patrick is always shown as a man with simple/inexpensive taste, his usual clothing, apartment, etc... His BF being the exception obviously.

The (possibly expensive, for him anyway) bottle of Champagne was the first clue this was a special occasion.

I thought this was one of the best episodes. Moira's "calm" low voice when Johnny was about to go the hospital was priceless.

WHERES THE BEAR??!!!!

[quote] Moira's "calm" low voice when Johnny was about to go the hospital was priceless.

OMG. I think that was my favorite part. Catherine O'Hara is a national treasure. In two countries!

I'm glad they've given us a few moments of David being a good boyfriend, because I don't really understand what Patrick sees in David. But if we are to believe that Jocelyn is truly happy in her marriage, and Ted is happy with Alexis, then we must believe that Patrick is truly happy. It is a comedy after all.

Alexis is very hot, which counts for a lot. And at this point, she has a good heart, which was not true in the beginning.

Dan Levy has commented that he knows that Patrick is this idealized, perfect boyfriend. For most of the time he’s been on the show, he’s had ZERO character flaws and has shrugged off David’s selfishness. I’ve noticed that he’s been able to be more well rounded these past few shows, being rude-ish to Ronnie about the sink, and being frustrated and nervous on this one.

In real life, someone like Patrick would probably find someone like David to be emotionally exhausting.

I haven’t seen every episode, but I don’t remember much true interaction between Roland and Jocelyn. But he is probably a good husband in some ways. I could see him treating Jocelyn like a queen at home. And he’s probably a good provider, doesn’t cheat, doesn’t mind her neuroses, etc.

R300 you are reading too much into a fictionalized sitcom, you huge turd.

R301 is not Canadian.

Does Dan wear padding under all those sweaters on the show? He looks so bulked up as David, but when you see him in real life, he's a lot thinner.

I adore Patrick! I hope we get to see his performance as the Emcee in Cabaret!

r301 is Mutt, pissed that he gave up the show before it became popular.

Pictures of Moira dressed up as Sally Bowles are out there, and Stevie goes missing in this ep.

Maybe Stevie is convinced to get back in time but I think we all want to see Moira taking up the lead character in CA BA RET.

I've watched a lot of interviews done with Dan Levy and he seems not only smart, but really nice. Very nice. Nicer than most Hollywood actors/producers. No one from Hollywood could be that nice. But if this is his first success, then there's probably plenty of time for him to turn into a typical Hollywood backstabber.

OMG, there are pictures of Moira dressed up as Sally?? WHERE?? I need to see them. I still haven't stopped laughing after seeing her in that short scene from The Crows.

Apparently for next season, we get to see a flashback of Moira in some kind of made-for-TV movie she made years ago.

I feel like this show is neverending. I have it set to record automatically, and every time I look, there’s a new ep. How many have there been this season? Thirty?

When I read the description about Patrick and David going hiking, my first thought was: Patrick is excited, David queens out, Patrick is disappointed, David makes it up to him. Surprise!

Eugene Levy has had absolutely no character arc, and neither has Roland. It’s like they're on repeat, same kinds of gags every time.

I guess I’m saying I’m over it. A little bitter because I liked it’s, but it’s run its course (and I do not want to have to watch a Patrick-David wedding with David being a bridezilla and Patrick being the ever patient partner. This show has a problem with setting up one dimensional characters for others to play off of—Mr. Rose and Patrick being the most egregious examples).

More like 13 episodes, with this week's being the finale and episode 14.

65 episodes so far (over 5 seasons), plus season finale tomorrow, and another 14 next year. Which is great for them because once you hit 65 eps it’s more attractive for syndication (5 eps per week over a standard 13 week season).

Holy Schitt's Creek, here is the Playbill for their production of Cabaret

[quote][R301] is Mutt, pissed that he gave up the show before it became popular.

I would be pissed too if my full name is Mutt Schitt.

Apropos, Mutt can now be seen on another CBC show, Diggstown.

I wonder if they are planning to do another Christmas movie? Last year's was fabulous. Pretty please?!

R309 good points. For me I love the show strictly for the females. I love Alexis. Then Stevie and Moira. Then Jocelyn. For the males it is the order I hate them the most. Roland the most. Then Patrick and David. Then Johnny. Of the males Ted is the only goid character.

*good

In the scene at the motel when Johnny is very winded and has to sit down, Stevie is folding programs in the background. You can see that the entire back page is Moira's old head shot.

Still enjoying the show but I understand R309's ennui. Last season was the high water mark.

R311, try 100 episodes.

Moira's bio is hilarious, r312.

I know Cliff is kind of a non-entity of a character in Cabaret, but I wouldn't have cut his role entirely, MOIRA. (Yes, I know it's a fake Playbill, but he's the male romantic lead.)

Wow, Emily's got quite a voice.

Cliff has five songs listed in the program, so he's not cut out, but it is odd he's not in the cast list.

Did they cut out Patrick and Emily's "Money" song? I wanted to see that.

The money song is fourth from last in act one

The only criticism I have is that they needed another scene between the David/Stevie scene and the next scene with Roland calling around to find the missing Stevie. The way it's presented doesn't give the idea that any time has passed.

They performed two songs in the show - "Willkommen" and "Maybe This Time". No "The Money Song".

Wow this episode flew by. It should have been an hour. Loved Patricks opening number, it makes me want to go see Cabaret.

For a half hour comedy show on a shoestring budget, they really knocked Cabaret out of the park. Stevie's solo was amazing and what a pep talk Moira gave her. Poor Moira. No red carpet for The Crowening.

Why am I worried that flighty Alexis will fall back on old habits and end up not going to the galapagos islands.

I would love the actual cast of SC to do a limited run of actual Cabaret performances during the season break.

I love that "horns" are all being played by one person in that program. lol

Is that Playbill in R312 just fan-made or actually made by the TV show? I’m guessing fan made (hence no Cliff, although I believe he was listed on the cast board shown at one point on the show) but I’m not sure.

R332- The real "Playbill" has some kind of template that people can use to create their own Playbills. Either Playbill did it or the show used their service.

Moira was the understudy for Annie while playing the role of Miss Hannigan. Such versatility!

The latest ep was a bit flat.

I had to LOL when Alexis rehearses her steps and then sees her dad being right in front of her.

Please tell me that there is another episode this season or are they really leaving us with Moira devastated in the closet? Being probably the nicest ever this season and giving out sage advice left and right and this is her reward? How very cruel.

This was the last episode for the season so unfortunately we have to wait until next season to see if Moira can survive in the closet. Moira was almost too nice through the whole episode so you knew she was going to get crushed by something in the end.

I thought the conversation between Stevie and Moira behind the stage would reveal that Stevie is so emotional, because she is pregnant (the hotel blogger being the father).

R338-Stevie should end up being a surrogate for David and Patrick.

I hope Patrick wears a thong as the MC.

Loved Patrick and Stevie’s number. Steve being so emotional was very touching

I too think Alexis is gonna flake out on poor Ted. I mean, it’s only 6 months - why is such a big deal if she stays behind and works on her career. That just doesn’t make sense to me, why she had to go. 6 months go by in a Flash.

Is it just me, but is David’s preening a tad overdone? I hope next season he matures

Poor Moira! Hope she gets some director gigs

Moira really is a good director from what we could see. She coaxed a great performance from Stevie.

Patrick was sexy as the msee even though he didn't wear a thong. I really thought Stevie's part was really good. She even was crying. Moira I felt bad for when she fell over at the end and went into the closet.

Love the shots of Ted holding the Playbill open in front of him the whole show.

Had no idea Patrick was the voice of Franklin the turtle. All those years watching it with my nephew not knowing he would become my dream man.

Was your nephew sitting on your lap r345? Was your nephew your dream man even then?

This is a small thing, but I like it that they actually used the musical numbers in the right place in the musical. Wilkommen is the actual opening number, and Maybe This Time is actually halfway through the first act. And the song playing over the speakers when Moira and Stevie are talking backstage is Two Ladies, which takes place before Maybe This Time and is a number when Stevie’s character is offstage.

And all the numbers were staged in a way that would work for the actual stage production. Dan Levy must know and like Cabaret.

Nice to know. Bet Dan knows if he got this wrong part of his audience would have hissy fits just like when doctors and nurses watch soapy medical dramas.

I still don't understand why they showed Patrick and Stevie rehearse "Money" but never showed it in the actual play. If it was just a time element, it would have been nice to have more of the songs and have this season finale go for an hour. Especially since next season will be the last.

Maybe because they already showed the meat of the number, it wasn't necessary to do it again in costume...

The best thing about this season is Ted's blue t-shirt...well and the way he fills it out

Hilarious sobs from Catherine O'Hara in the motel scene when David spills about his engagement

They've posted a behind the scenes video of the Cabaret show.

This one of Moira's best shows. Her meltdown at the end was fabulous.

I would have thought Patrick's parents would have been there for his stage debut, but that would have obviously added one too many plot elements to an already crowded episode.

Loved the delighted expression on Ted's face the entire performance.

I don't think Patrick's parents are really very supportive of his homosexuality. If they were they would have been at his opening night.

R355 you do know these people are not real, right moron. The show is low budget. That is why his fictionalized parent's were not there. Good fucking grief.

r355 is Patrick's parents.

meant r357.

wish they'd bring back Mutt Schitt

I had to laugh at the weird presentational way Ted was holding his program. OK, we get it, show, you did a promotional deal with Playbill. The show should also send William Ivey Long a loonie for borrowing the MC's suspenders/bow tie combination from the 1998 Broadway revival. Alas, low budget means no Kit Kat Klub Boys in Willkommen, even though they were listed in the program, er, "program."

Honestly, I enjoyed the episode and am sorry it's the last one for awhile.

wish we could get Ted out of his pants

r352 Those whimpering sobs were iconic.

R362 there will always be the bunnycam...

What I love about the show is that it's funny without being corny and it throws in some nice moments between characters- like Alexis and Moira having lunch, where both of them think the other one doesn't want to be there. That was a sweet conversation they had.

I think Patrick's parents are amazing for how they accepted Patrick's homosexuality. They should be commended, not ridiculed.

Anjelica Huston says Schitt's Creek is her favorite TV show.

It is my favourite show.

I have a hunch they'll jump ahead 6 months next season. Alexis will already be back and David and Patrick will already have moved in together, so forth.

R366 you are an amazing fucking moron. Jesus christ.

If all these celebrities like Kyle MacLachlan, Anjelica Huston and Mariah Carey are fans of the show, it would be great to see them turn up at David and Patrick's wedding. Moira could send them all invites and while everyone else figures the celebrities would just ignore it, they actually do show up.

OMG have Tina Turner sing a downtempo version of Simply The Best at their ceremony.

Am I misremembering that Ted was cast as Cliff?

On the night of the performance, Ted was sitting in the audience. Cliff’s name is oddly missing from the cast list in the fake Playbill posted in R312.

We are very, very proud of our son Patrick, despite his homosexuality.

Thanks R374, I saw Ted in the audience. I could have sworn that in an earlier episode he auditioned for Moira, and she was so impressed with his reading that she cast him as Cliff. Did that never occur?

Never mind. I watched the earlier episode. Patrick auditions for Cliff, and he’s so good that Moira makes him the Emcee.

I want Patrick in my bed now.

Get a piece of wood, it will have the same range as Patrick.

R378 I agree. I find him so sexy.

Not sure if this was posted before, but Bonnie Tyler sang "The Best" first.

I wish Netflix had the Christmas Special.

Once season 5 comes to Netflix they should get it R382

I saw the Schitt's Creek Up Close and Personal tour in Portland, OR, a couple of weeks ago, and Dan said Season 5 would drop on Netflix in October. An eternity, I know, but I'm guessing the late drop will precede the launch of the final season on cable.

I want to know who we have to fuck to get Netflix to show The Canadian Baking Show (Dan is one of the hosts).

I'll fuck Noah Reid if it will help, r384.

I just finished season 4 on Netflix and what a delightful, warm, funny show. It just seems to keep getting better, funnier, and more heartfelt. Who'd have ever thought these selfish, narcissistic characters would be so lovable. This is exactly what the world needs right now.

R384, great news. The show usually debuts in January so that's less of wait time.

I thought I was watching Moira on the Tonys last night...

I’m glad they decided to end it after S6 rather than milk it until it’s all dried up, but I will miss it.

I want a threesome between Ted, Patrick and first-season Mutt with his full beard.

Throw in Jake, too

Of course Dustin Milligan can grow out a full perfect-looking bushy beard.

That bitch.

I'd like to watch all three of those guys take turns on David. I find Dan Levy incredibly hot.

I'm sure Dan recorded them individually, R393, when they "auditioned"

Ted must have grown a beard while on the Galapagos Islands

I love the actor who plays Josselin. What do we know about her?

Father and step-mom were actors as well. She was on a number of tv shows including a short-lived Fox News satire show, Degrassi and Hannah Montana.

Christmas episode is on Netflix now.

They finally showed up on the Emmy Awards radar. Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara and the show all got noms this morning.

I was hoping Dan Levy would get a nod somewhere.

The speech Moira gave to Stevie backstage at the show was warm and heartbreakingly wonderful. I watched it four times. It was beautifully written and delivered.

[quote]I was hoping Dan Levy would get a nod somewhere.

As a producer of the show, he most likely did with the best comedy series nod. But from a performance perspective you're quite right. He has somehow managed to make David someone to love and root for over the last 5 years. Despite the fact David is a pretentious hothouse flower of a man, and a slowly recovering narcissist - I just crave a happy ever after ending for him.

On a different topic, it was great o see the show get a contemporary costume design nod as well. Whoever manages to keep Moira, David and Alexis trapped in that circa 2008 bad designer hell is quite brilliant - and per Dan on their Build Series interview, with almost no budget..

Final-season premiere announced.
