Schitt's Creek was one of the most celebrated and beloved TV shows of its generation. Over the course of the series' six-season-long run, it captivated minds and warmed the hearts of fans and critics alike.
As sad as it is to say, it's been nearly two years since the final episode aired. So for a little nostalgia for nostalgia's sake — here are 15 facts about Schitt's Creek I just absolutely adore.
Fans of the show will no doubt recall that Interflix was the streaming company that saved Moira's ill-fated return to the big screen, The Crows Have Eyes 3: The Crowening. You can watch the trailer for the film below.
True, there is no such place as Schitt's Creek, but the town where the show was filmed most certainly does exist. The real Schitt's Creek is actually called Goodwood, Ontario, and it's home to just over 600 residents.
That's right, Catherine O'Hara dawned 100 different wigs to help complete the character of Moira Rose. Catherine even selected some of them herself, along with Dan Levy and other prop directors on set.
Dan is a big fan of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and wanted to explore a "what if?" scenario wherein they lost their fortune. He was also inspired by the true story of how Kim Basinger bought an abandoned ghost town in the late '80s.
These would all be cherished additions to any collection, but I think the clear-cut winner is David's card. That face he's making just screams "I don't want to be here!"
You'd be forgiven for presuming that some of Moira's more verbose vocabulary choices are completely made up. However, almost all of the words she uses are, in fact, real — including "Pettifogging" and "Chanteuse."
In Season 1, Chris simply stuffed a pillow under his shirt to give Roland his signature beer belly. From Season 2 onward, he had a prosthetic belly specially designed for him by the prop masters.
Back in 2015, the Toronto Blue Jays were making a run for the playoffs — the likes of which hadn't been seen since the team won back-to-back World Series in '92/'93. Being the diehard Jays fan that he is, Eugene found ways to make it work.
The spot where David and Patrick got engaged is known as Rattlesnake Point. It's a conservation area just outside of Toronto that's renowned for its ancient cedars and scenic beauty.
So dedicated, in fact, that he had to perform more than 100 takes before he and the film crew had the perfect shot. I can only imagine how sore Dan must have been the following morning.
It's not hard to imagine why, either. Noah's heartfelt rendition of the classic Tina Turner lovesong is one of the standout moments of the entire series. I defy anyone to watch that scene and not get teary-eyed.
Catherine and Eugene met back when they were both members of the famed Second City improv troupe. They've also appeared alongside one another in such films as A Mighty Wind and Best in Show.
