Ah, I didn't watch Gilmore Girls so I didn't get a connection there.
The three generations of Villanueva women reminded me a lot of the three generations of Gilmores.
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I can see that. The Villanuevas are a lot more apt to actually work through their issues than the Gilmores though.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
I am watching Schitt's Creek (Plei's fault!) and "Get through the first season, I promise it is worth it!" is a big ask, but it pays off, OMG. I am now completely fannish over it, to the point that I watched an episode of Hot Ones just because Dan Levy was the guest.
(Is it general knowledge that he and Noah Reid had downed a bottle of prosecco between them before recording David's lipsync? "More people should get tipsy at lunch!")

It's definitely the story that gets told about that scene. That and the song being the extended version and Dan not being prepared.

Hahaha, I didn't know that but I don't know anything
That show, man. The first few episodes were so hard to watch but once it got its hooks in me...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Same for us. A bit of a slog through the first chunk of the first season but then such an addictive watch.
I'm certain it will join Matilda's rotation of regularly rewatched comedies.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Is the first season of Schitt's Creek better or worse than the first season of Parks and Rec? Because that was the other show where people say "Just get through the first season and it's totally worth it!"

Hey. New board.
Schitt's Creek doesn't seem to have completely turned into a different show after season 1 like P & R, it just got it's groove much more later on.

I think S1 of Parks and Rec is more skippable than S1 of SC. The whole show is a gradual progression for these characters, so watching S1 makes the whole thing richer and more meaningful.
