As many of us know today, there are more and more shows available for viewing through TV and streaming services, some of which you've never heard of. "Schitt's Creek" is one of those shows you may not have heard of but most definitely should take a look at. Starring Eugene Levy ("American Pie") and his son Daniel Levy alongside veteran actor Catherine O'Hara and more, this Canadian comedy is pure gold. Similar to the humor found in films like "Best in Show," "Waiting for Guffman," and "This is Spinal Tap," "Schitt's Creek creates a commentary on modern personalities and embraces the ridiculousness of it all.
Created by Daniel Levy, "Schitt's Creek" is the show about a wealthy family who finds themselves asset less after being screwed by their business manager in a Bernie Madoff-esque scheme. Due to the unforeseen fate, the Rose family is forced to move to the only asset they retained, a small hick town in a quaint countryside aptly named "Schitt's Creek."
