EVERYTHING’S
COMING UP ROSES

“There's a collection of undershirts hang-drying outside of my room. Is there any way they could be removed? Or is there, like, a Texas Chainsaw movie being filmed out there that I'm not aware of?”
— David Rose

There’s literally nothing I don’t love about this show. It’s perfection. And it’s over. I feel like the Rose family when their fortune was seized.

Devastated.

I honestly can’t choose a favorite thing about this show created by the real father-son duo, Eugene & Dan Levy. It starts as filthy rich couple -- #2 ranked Rose Video visionary, Johnny, and his former soap opera star wife, Moira — find themselves flat broke, with all their possessions being carted off by the FBI. Their only un-seized (and worthless) asset is an armpit of a town in the middle of nowhere, called Schitt's Creek, which Johnny once bought as a joke. With their two grown, clueless and very pampered offspring, David and Alexis, they move to the town motel and resist adjusting to their new life.

And somehow, season by season and character by character, we learn Schitt’s Creek is actually better than any town we all live in.

Anyway, the ONE thing they managed to smuggle out was Moira’s extensive wig collection. Turns out, it was actually Catherine O’Hara’s idea for her character, Moira, to use enormous words and wear incredible wigs, which adds to the crazy quirkiness of the show. Occasionally, her wigs even have names. I think they are the fifth member of the Rose family.

Okaaay, maybe the sixth (Patrick is definitely the fifth). So here’s my homage to her hair… with my made up names.

Even after we say goodbye, you all are simply the best.
