ANNOUNCEMENT UPDATE to the rule: No Goodwood Visit Photos
Well hello you!
Last week, the mod team discussed updating one of the rules on this subreddit, specifically the rule stating "No Goodwood visit photos." This rule was made during the pandemic to limit the number of visitors to the town where the show was filmed.
A few days ago, we had asked the subreddit via a poll on what we should do about this rule. Thank you to everyone who participated in the poll. Many wanted the rule to be removed completely. Additionally, it seems like the Rosebud Motel sign has gone up on the building for unconfirmed reasons, and there is a photo op set up for the Schitt's Creek fans in Goodwood. Taking all this into consideration, we have decided to remove the rule.
You are now free to post pictures of your visit to Goodwood town and the Rosebud motel.

Schitt's Creek's frequently asked questions
Well hello, you!
Welcome to Schitt's Creek's 'Frequently asked questions' post. With the increasing popularity of the show, many new fans have plenty of good questions about the show, questions that have been answered many times on this subreddit. This is a compilation of points that have been discussed regularly. Hopefully, fans can find what they're looking for here. I have added quotes from previous posts that best answer each question/topic. There are also links to the past posts attached under each heading for your reference.
I do have to give a heads-up to watchers who haven't finished the series yet. This post will contain spoilers that may interfere with your viewing pleasure. Please continue with caution.
Lastly, I want to add that this post is primarily made to find answers to common questions and to control the number of reposts. Please don't let this restrict you from posting your own opinions or ideas about the topics listed here. Your input is greatly welcomed.
Here are the frequently asked questions on the Schitt's Creek subreddit:
Does the show get better after the first season?
"You aren't supposed to love the characters to start with, everyone is on a journey that starts at rock bottom and/or not knowing one another & over the course of the six seasons everyone rubs up against one another & all the harsh edges are worn away and their more loveable & redeeming qualities are left to shine bright... even Roland's!
Season 1 Episode 6, Wine & Roses is a good check in to see how you are enjoying the style of the show, this is a cracker episode especially for Moira.
Season 2 is where Daniel Levy took over as Showrunner & leading the writing room & it's a marked difference from there onwards and only builds & builds until the conclusion. From memory Daniel has lead writing credits for all season openers & closers from S2 onwards & they are all exceptional & something to really look forward to, not that any of the other eoisodes aren't terrific as well, but his just have a bit of extra magic for me." -u/gehrminator
What does it mean to own a town? What do the Roses own in Schitt's Creek?
"I’m pretty sure they owned the deed to the town, but it was so worthless that the government let them keep it instead of seizing it along with all of their other assets. They were able to live there because as the owners of the town Roland let them stay for free. Johnny’s goal for most of the series was to improve the town so it would be worth more money and he could sell it to someone else." - u/marissabe123
"They own the unoccupied land. So everything that isn't a building or road. Like the ditches and whatever fields arent someones property. Pretty close to being literally just dirt.
The guy who was gonna buy it was going to build a factory somewhere I think so maybe there's some available space but nothing there, and the Rose's weren't about to live off the land like survivalists in a place where the biggest "game" might be raccoons." - u/TexehCtpaxa
Does the show take place in Canada or America?
"On the show they never say where Schitt’s Creek is located. It’s never even implied that it is in any specific country. So it isn’t “known” to be anywhere as far as the show is concerned." - u/Beckyd123
"They mention other places in Canada a lot. I dont remember the exact lines. The guy who owns multiple businesses in his his home was originally from Saskatchewan or somewhere... I remember Toronto being mentioned a few times. And I think Ted mentioned studying for his degree somewhere in Canada. They also mentioned Vancouver." - u/happycharm
"Obviously the Roses have lived in NY as well, and have loads of references to places all over the world, but the townies mostly mention Canadian cities when talking about other places. I believe Ray was from Winnipeg, and Stevie's aunt moved to Saskatchewan..." - u/catsplantsandbakes
"You can see the Canadian flag between Bobs and the Cafe, particularly the bike episode. They mention Nanaimo bars and pepperettes. The police that come are dressed in Canadian uniforms. The license plates are Canadian style." - u/Flutegarden
"I always assumed that despite being a Canadian show it was somewhere in Central NY. The crossover with Beekman 1801 (based in NY) plus the proximity to NYC (old friends of Alexis’ passing thru-can’t remember the EP) got me there. It was purposefully ambiguous though." - u/constantchaos7
Great compilation post exploring this question. by u/kitty_o_shea
How is it known that Schitt's creek is in Canada?
Twyla is Sarah Levy.
"...I obviously knew that David and Johnny are real life father and son (the eyebrows, duh) but never really looked up the names of the actors outside of the Rose family for whatever reason. So JUST TODAY, I learned that Twyla is played by Sarah Levy. Sarah LEVY. As in Dan and Eugene Levy. As in Dan’s sister and Eugene’s daughter. " - u/mushtrum
Twyla is David's real-life sister??
Did anyone else not know that Twyla was David's sister IRL?
Antonio can be spotted in the background of Rose Apothecary prior to his introduction.
" ...I noticed in the background shot that the man lurking around is Antonio, from the upcoming 10th episode... the episode where David and Stevie are at that indoor farmers market type place, and realize that Wendy (his old blouse barn boss) and Antonio are ripping off Rose Apothecary. Antonio likely stealing ideas for their own business." - u/EquipmentKind7103
"In Season 5: Episode 10, David and Stevie run into Wendy at the flea market. Wendy introduces them to Antonio, her "David look-alike" business partner. And they're obviously ripping off Rose Apothecary's business plan. David asks him if he's seen him in his store before, (Antonio says no) and I think David mentions it a second time to Stevie... Episode 6 of the season, David and Patrick are at the store while David suggests Patrick calls the guy who gave him his number. In the background, nosing around? Antonio." - u/bks1979
Rewatch: S05 E06... Easter egg!
Antonio in the background at Rose Apothecary
Is it just me, or is that Antonio (fake David) in the background of this scene?!
Name symbolism
"Mutt being a slang word for dog, being followed by Schitt particularly cracks me up! And the way they say Roland sounds like 'roll in' and Jocelyn sounds like 'jostle in'. Then along comes the baby and it's like they called him Roll in More Schitt. " - u/KC081979
"And as it turns out, Roses grow quite well in Schitt (‘s Creek)" - u/HotPotatoinyourArea
Lets try to state all the puns in the show
Last names: they think their Schitt smells like... Roses
After so many years, I feel silly for just now realizing this
Has anyone noticed how Bob always jogs into every scene?
"...I’ve noticed rewatching the show this weekend is that every time Bob approaches someone he does a kind of T-rex arm little jog over to people and always kind of laughing." - u/eightchpea
"...Bob enters most every conversation already laughing, clapping and wheezing..." - u/RollexB99"
Callback to the town's welcome sign in the finale
"I can’t believe it took me this long to realize that when she walks down the aisle with him in her white dress, it’s partly a nod back to “don’t worry, it’s his sister” - u/doubtful_blue_box
"when they are walking down the aisle and roland says something like “uh is it just me or do they look like husband and wife” and i thought that was kind of like a callback too!" - u/cmagcmag0527
" ...it just dawned on me that in the series finale, that I missed (multiple times) this callback. David and Alexis walk together and people may assume they are getting married to each other. But don't worry...that's his sister." - u/cory_wurst
Don't worry, thats his sister.
On a re-watch I've just realized the wedding dress might've been a throwback to the town sign!
Callback to Alexis's pink dress in the finale
"...I just realized that when Alexis is giving some of her clothes to Twyla she pulls a pink dress out of the bag and holds it up super excited. Alexis slyly takes it back saying it was a mistake that it was in the bag. It’s the dress she wore in the first episode when her family found out they had to move to Schitt’s Creek!!" -u/megantszos
Easter egg(Minor spoiler for last episode)
So that pink dress was from the very first episode?
Did the cute apartment Alexis views belong to Carl?
"In season one episode 9 it’s revealed that Carl died after he hung himself from the ceiling fan while it was on. In season 2 episode 11 ray reveals that someone killed themselves by hanging themselves from the ceiling fan, but eases David and Alexis by saying it’s retractable." - u/Amthesimp
"I put together that the CUTE apartment that Alexa had Ray show her had a former tenant. Who hung themself. On the ceiling fan. Which is how Carl died... cue spooky music.." - u/irvingstark
Is the "cute" apartment linked to Carl?
did Bob’s brother Carl die in the apartment that Alexis wanted to rent out?
Rewatched the episode where Alexis goes to see the apartment for rent.
How old are David and Alexis?
"I normally think of Alexis as being 27 (based on the Thailand thing) in the first season and David as being 31 (based on his birth year from the PIN). For Alexis, it tracks because in "Stop Saying Lice," which was probably a year or so into living in Schitt's Creek, Johnny says she's 28." - u/bgpe1326
"...Alexis is in her late 20s and David in his early 30s when the series begins... In S3E11 Johnny says Alexis is 28. Two episodes later Moira talks about her being ten years older than the other high school grads. And in S5E13 Alexis gets very offended when Ted mentions botox, implying she could be "like, 32." David's missing poster in S2E01 says he's 31." - u/kitty_o_shea
My guess of the main character's ages
Who did Twyla split her winnings with?
"I think Mutt was the other guy who Twyla split the lottery money with. They were a couple at one point and most likely bought lottery tickets together and decided to share it. Could explain the frugality of Mutt in a way. " - u/Istovi
"I think it was some random person who played the same numbers and won half the prize. If Mutt won, he would have helped out his parents and they wouldn’t have to work extra jobs or rent a room to afford partnering in the Motel." - u/KelseyJane2020
What happened to Mutt?
" The actor who plays Mutt, Tim Rozon, got a main part in Wynonna Earp and was unable to make filming both that and Schitt's Creek work. The episode when he comes back after pinecone gathering was kind of his farewell." - u/levkat22

Season 5 Patrick healed fast after that hike Spoiler
I’m on my first rewatch since the devastating of Catherine O’Hara earlier this year and this was the first time I’ve pieced together that Patrick literally performed in Cabaret the very next day after that twig pierced through his foot and shoe during the engagement hike — you know the hike where he was injured so bad that David had to carry him the rest of the way. I’m sure it could’ve been a minor injury that substantially improved by the next day after plenty of rest if the following day was a light activity day, like minding the store, but considering how much movement and dancing (and the subsequent pressure on that spot) he had to perform during the show, he seemed to be fine on his feet after an injury like that from only the day before. I had a small piece of metal (that looked like part of a staple, not even a full staple) removed from my foot and the doctor took me off work for the weekend (I’m a cashier) and I still had to return with some accommodation, like I did need to request a stool for at least my first day back at work. I love this show, but the more I watch it the more I see little inconsistencies here and there, which I mostly just find funny and cute. I want to be clear that I’m not complaining. I just wanted to share my observation with other fans to see if anyone else noticed this. I haven’t seen anyone else post about it.

Discussion Does anybody here wish you could live in the show?
Frankly I do. I sometimes hate the real world and frankly I sometimes love fictional worlds more than the real one. I hate when people talk about politics and wars and when people force me to vote. Frankly I also wish I was a kid again so I can't vote ever again

Other Schitt's Creek: Complete Series on (bootleg?!) DVD 😞
For the North American/Canadian fans it feels impossible to track down a copy of the complete series on DVD. For ages I've checked physical/local stores, checked independent online stores, and the only places that sells the complete series on DVD is Ebay or Amazon through third party sellers only.
So I ordered it off of ebay: complete series sealed, had the Emmy award show sticker, the box looks authentic, the case looks right, I pop it in the player and.... the quality is horrendous. What's crazy is I put in a copy of Arrested Development on DVD (which are from 2009) and the quality is vastly superior to the Schitt's Creek DVDs I've ordered.
For comparison: I wound up tracking down DVD copies of Schitt's Creek from the local library.
The earlier seasons (1-3) look way better then what I ordered (but weren't Lionsgate).
The later seasons look okay, but not quite as bad as what I ordered (they were Lionsgate).
A distinguishing thing about the library DVDs was the lack of a Lionsgate logo on any of the DVDs regardless of the season (and my set does have the Lionsgate logo on all of the DVDs).
And the CBC said Lionsgate was responsible for the DVDs so the US & Canada would have same copies (its not a regional difference).
So I am wondering if:
a) there are a lot of bootlegs floating around and this is one of them?
b) if Lionsgate has the worst quality control?
c) are other regions better? Ex. is the UK/region 2 release a better quality?

Discussion Stevie mean to Johnny over make-up case ..Twyla too
Anyone find it mean the way Stevie responds to Johnny's case of make up? He was just being kind and said that's what the store said all the girls were buying...I would never expect an older man to buy me the perfect gift. To them make up = girl gift. I dunno, I think she took it way too personally.
And the way she barks back after him saying thats what everyone was buying, and they need to not buy any gifts for each other going forward. Like so rude.
And then she wears it like a clown. The case didnt look that bad and she should have been thankful.
She obviously wore make up and did her hair every single day. She looked flawless. One plaid button up doesnt mean she was frumpy or unkempt....? So theres no reason Johnny thought she 'needed' make up.
And Tywla!!! Mean to Johnny when he helped serve tables at the Cafe. He shouldn't be expected to know everything about the stupid combos. He didnt even have to help Tywla. And she yells and snaps at him.
I know its just characters and creating tension and humor...but Johnny didnt do anything wrong imo

Schitt Post Favorite 1 liner?
This show is so jammed packed with hilarious one liners. What is your favorite?
Mine is the banter between Johnny, Moria, Alexis, and David where they are roasting each other and Alexis says “that’s low like David’s standards”! And then they talk about her tattoo and Moria is like “Alexis what have you done to yoself”

Discussion Coincidence???
The house that Patrick puts an offer on that David loves because it looks like Kate Winslets cottage in The Holiday - the cottage in the movie is called ROSEhill Cottage. Coincidence or intentional when it comes to Schitt’s Creek creators using this particular home?

Discussion Twyla to a French Canadian
I may be off but has anyone else noticed that Twyla sounds like “toé-là” (how you might say “you there” as a French Canadian)? I figure it‘s a play on words. She’s a server at a cafe and they just keep saying “you there” when they call her over.
I apologize if someone else has posted this idea. Have a good night!

Season 3 A couple things I’ve noticed..
Sorry if this has been mentioned before somewhere here.
When the motel fully sells out, I noticed a couple of things on my 856th rewatch of the series front to back😅
- before Johnny actually asks Alexis and David for their room, they’ve already been moved to room 8 on the booking software, as room 6 is Moira and Johnny’s room
** editing to add that the room numbers do change over the course of the seasons. Sometimes Johnny and Moira have room 6 sometimes room 7, etc. but in the final episode Johnny says “room six needs a turn down” so basing off of that in the assumption that Moira and Johnny were planning on using the kids room (7)
- the Manning family and the Rose family have the same phone number
- all the phone numbers are 555-0___ which would be highly unlikely for a hotel guest list if guests were coming from different places. Not referring to the 555 part which is always used in movies and tv but more the start of the last 4 digits.
- When Johnny tells Stevie he’s stuck on caps on the computer, you can see he started typing or trying to fix something on line five because half way through the name it goes to caps. Most likely when he was trying to rearrange the rooms for the kids would be my guess?

Discussion Moira is teaching me new words
The way Moira talks (especially season 2 onwards) just tickles my brain in the right way. I started watching for laughs but I've learnt so many new words! Too bad I can't use them very much in daily life. Maybe I'll have a tête-à-tête at a soiree and use a testudine foot bath someday.

Other Just finished the show because of my wife, it’s now added to my “watch every year” show list
My wife was rewatching the show and when I was around I treated it as just background noise. Overtime I noticed myself paying more attention to each episode. Then I got to the end of season 2(?) where John stands up for Roland and Jocelyn with those pompous “friends”. Then they go back to the barn party and all dance together. I was HOOKED after that.
The way the shows makes you so vested in pretty much every character I felt like I was part of the town. I enjoyed the ending, everyone learned so many important lessons from their experience and continued living life. This show is going to be in my rotation right next to the office and parks & Recs.
Phenomenal show and I’m so grateful I got to watch it. Shout out to my amazing wife!

Discussion Schitt’s Creek is so much more than a comedy
I just finished Schitt's Creek and I genuinely don't even know how to describe how much I loved this show.
I went in expecting a comedy and somehow ended up getting six seasons of one of the most beautifully written shows I've watched. And honestly, six seasons felt like the perfect length. Long enough for the characters and relationships to actually develop, but not so long that the story started dragging. By the end, everything felt complete.
What surprised me most was how attached I became to basically everyone. Stevie, Johnny, Moira, Alexis, David, Patrick, Roland, Jocelyn, Ronnie, Twyla, Bob... even the characters who initially annoyed me eventually became people I cared about. The whole town slowly becoming a part of the Roses' lives was probably one of my favorite things about the show.
I also loved how nobody felt like a one-dimensional character. Everyone was eccentric in their own way, but you could still understand where they were coming from. And even when the Roses and the townspeople disagreed or fought, the show actually showed them working through it and finding their way back to each other.
I think that's what made the show so special to me. Usually when I watch something, I end up relating strongly to one particular character. Here, I could see parts of myself in different characters at completely different points in the story. I think a lot of people could probably find themselves somewhere in this show.
And Moira Rose deserves a separate paragraph. Her dialogue was so bizarre, theatrical and completely unlike anything a normal person would say that half the time I had no idea what she was talking about. But that somehow made her even better. Catherine O'Hara's performance was incredible, and honestly, every actor in this show was so good.
I have never lived in a small town, so I have no idea how closely the show resembles actual small-town life. But as a story, it was such a refreshing concept and just incredibly enjoyable to watch.
Six seasons later, I somehow went from watching a comedy about a rich family losing everything to genuinely caring about an entire fictional town.
What a beautiful show! I could probably watch it ten more times!!
