You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Finally watched the episode. I thought it was more amusing than some this season. It could be because the boss reminds me a lot of an old boss of mine. I was disappointed that there wasn't a big finale number with the whole group when Simon gave his news conference. I saw all the people and was excited for a big ensemble dance number. I like the characters, but mostly I am there for the song and dance!

I want to restaurant to get going because I feel it has lots of potential for stories, and lots of room for choreography.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Because I'm always behind when it comes to watching stuff, I started watching Schitt's Creek last week. My 100% shallow comment is: Eugene Levy can still GET IT.

I said what I said.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's fair

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.

Checks out.

Steph, I just started watching it a couple of weeks ago. Your statement is valid.

I'm on Season 2 now.

I started season 2 last night! I'm maybe 6 episodes in.

I started watching Schitt's Creek last week.

I decided to give it a go over the weekend, but didn't get through the first episode. I normally have an exception for pilot episodes and try and watch 2-3 before passing judgement, but I just couldn't get into it. Figured maybe it was just my mood and would give it another go.

Pros/Cons - what should I stick around for?

I liked Schitt's Creek pretty much from the start, although the first 6 episodes or so are really broad in terms of characterization. They start to get more nuanced after that.

Though, full disclosure, Moira has never stopped annoying me, and if I could launch Roland into the sun, I would. But I love Stevie and Alexis and David and John so goddamn much that it's worth it. Oh, also the vet (Ted?).

I pretty much concur with Steph on all o' that, except Moira doesn't annoy me. I think my favorite relationship is Stevie and David. Laura, I would say I got into it for the laughs and stayed for that and for the non-treacly sweetness that happens from time to time.

I shall hang in there then. I am on a mission to have more comedy in life! I do try and not judge shows before giving them time to develop the characters. Books I give 50 pages, shows I go 5-6, unless there is something truly unacceptable.
