Ew David! 66 Facts About Schitt’s Creek And The Rose Family

Schitt's Creek, the well-loved Canadian co-created by Dan Levy and his father Eugene Levy, graced the screens of CBC Television from 2015 to 2020. Spanning six seasons and comprising 80 episodes, this memorable series was produced by Not a Real Company Productions and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. 

It revolves around the misfortunes faced by the once-wealthy Rose family. When their business manager embezzles their fortune from Rose Video, the family is left destitute and forced to seek refuge in Schitt's Creek, a small town they originally bought as a joke! Now residing in a motel, Johnny (Eugene Levy) and Moira (Catherine O'Hara), accompanied by their adult children David (Dan Levy) and Alexis (Annie Murphy), must adapt to a life devoid of wealth.

Our Schitt's Creek facts include who was meant to star as Alexis Rose before Annie Murphy, where the Rosebud Motel really is and where Catherine O'Hara got the names for Moira's wigs.

1. Dan Levy Was Inspired By American Reality TV Families 

The inception of the series originated from Dan Levy's curiosity about the reactions of affluent families, often portrayed in American reality television, if they were to lose all their wealth. Collaborating with his father Eugene, Dan developed the concept and pitched it to various Canadian and American networks. CBC Television in Canada became the initial buyer, and subsequent funding was secured for production when the series was sold to Pop in the United States. 

2. Schitt’s Creek Had A Surge Of Recognition Due To Netflix

Despite its initial limited popularity, Schitt's Creek experienced a surge in recognition after its third season due to its availability on Netflix, which led to what is commonly referred to as the "Netflix bump." Additionally, its active presence on social media contributed to its growing fan base.

3. Schitt’s Creek Earned 15 Emmy Nominations For It’s Final Season

Schitt's Creek gained widespread critical acclaim and cultivated a devoted following, primarily attributed to its exceptional writing, humor, and performances.

6. The Rose Family’s Purchase Of Schitt’s Creek Was Inspired By Kim Basinger

The concept of the Rose family being compelled to relocate to a town they once purchased as a jest drew inspiration from actress Kim Basinger's acquisition of the town of Braselton, Georgia, for $20 million in 1989.

Eugene Levy explained, "My wife had an idea for a television show about boomers not having money or moving in with their kids. Their situation was described as being up sh–'s creek. It just made us laugh. Then my son Daniel came in with an article one day about an actress, Alec Baldwin's ex-wife (Basinger), who bought a town. She was hoping that film people would come to the town to use it as a location area and she lost a lot of money. The idea of wealthy people buying a town went back to the Schitt's Creek idea."

7. Networks Wanted The Name “Schitt’s” To Be Replaced

During the early stages of development, different networks suggested changing the show's title to avoid the use of the vulgar word. However, the Levys resisted these suggestions, arguing that "Schitt" was a legitimate surname. To support their case, they presented pages copied from a phone book to the CBC, which listed individuals with the last name "Schitt"! Convinced, the CBC allowed the Levys to retain the original title.

Eventually, O'Hara agreed to participate in the presentation pilot with no obligation to continue if the show was picked up. However, after Schitt's Creek was ordered to series by the CBC, O'Hara agreed to stay on board.
