Nice. Might have to watch season 2 finale again.
Yes. It's not a realistic premise but it's a fucking comedy, B. (also yes one can own a town)B wrote:So, they were really rich... and they didn't pay taxes, so the government took all of their stuff, except a city that they owned? Because you can own a city?
B wrote:Are they paying to living in that hotel, or do they just get to live in it b/c they own the town?
You should stop watchingB wrote:The whole premise is confusing, and I super hate all of the leads.
No, this show sucks. The jokes aren't funny.
Change my mind.

The lack of compelling supporting characters is where Schitt's really fails to be at that same level. The main characters are solid, though I find Alexis to be a little one note.tragabigzanda wrote:Strong disagree. I’d rank them:
The Office
Schitt’s Creek
30 Rock
Parks & Rec
The Office is probably the GOAT in the half hour comedy sit-com category. I'd put Parks and Recreation as a close second. But Schitt's Creek isn't far behind that. To me, they are extremely similar shows. And I've seen every episode of P&R at least five times. I've only watched SC all the way through once. So, I'll wait and see how it grows/changes the more I watch it.Monkey_Driven wrote:Schitt's Creek is a perfectly good, but not great, comedy. It is ridiculous to put it on the same level as The Office, Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, etc. It has more in common with the more traditional sitcoms.

first three seasons are untouchable. Forth season is a weird mix. I couldnt finish the last one.durdencommatyler wrote:I do not care for Arrested Development. It's not my taste at all.Jorge wrote:The original run of Arrested Development is better than all these shows
