My wife and I were both happy and sad to reach the end of "Schitt's Creek". Comprising six seasons, each seemingly better than the last, we certainly enjoyed getting to know the madcap characters of this crazy, crazy town to which the once super rich Rose family have descended.
Everyone will have their favourite character, from the Betty Boop-like Alexa, her highly strung but ever-hungry brother David, pragmatic, peaceable dad Johnny and his self-centred, language-mangling wife Moira and that's before you get into all the local townsfolk.
We'll also miss town mayor Roland's too-late-I've-already-said-it candour, his sassier-than-she-looks wife Jocelyn and tough little cookie, hotel receptionist Stevie.
It all ended up with all four members of the family finally finding a way out of Schitt's, if they choose to take it and David's marriage to his boyfriend Patrick. I actually thought there was going to be one more twist in the tale - what with Alexa garbed in a white dress on the day, we were sure that Ted would fly back in and see us off with a double wedding celebration, but it sadly wasn't to be.
I understand that all four principal actors won Emmy's for their performances in this the final season and must say that they were all fully merited. Kudos too to the production company for quitting while they were ahead, even if it means the door closing permanently on the old Rosebud Motel.
This was definitely one of the best comedies that we have seen in many years and will certainly miss the wars of these particular Roses from our television screen.
