It's supposed to be ambiguous I think, they never mention a state or exact location and they talk about various cities in both the US and Canada. I would place it in the US though just on account of "the locals" having fairly generic US accents rather than Canadian, and it being implied that they relocated from New York and that Moira spent most of her career on a "Sunset Beach style" soap opera which would be California.

A lot of US shows are filmed in Canada though (e.g. CW "Arrowverse" stuff like The Flash, also Supernatural, all filmed in and around Vancouver) purely because production costs are apparently much lower. Often the actual setting is "Generic US City".

That makes sense, the area looked really nice though, I would definitely have preferred to stay and live in David and Patrick's little cottage than go off to new York too

Me too but I've never been a city boy. I tolerated it for University, but I couldn't live in a city or even a large town long term.

Re watching this atm, I love it even more this time round. I'm particularly loving the scenes between David and Alexis, they're hilarious together

…I was thinking about making a thread and then I found this one…

…I’m just starting my first watch of Schitt’s Creek…I did try to watch it once before and got as far as episode 5 of season one and then somehow got distracted…I also hadn’t felt really invested in the characters at that time either…

…anyway, I’ve started again from the beginning and still on season 1/around episode 6 or 7, I can’t recall which one of those…

…but I was thinking with the character of Moira Rose…

Spoiler:

…when she was doing the promotion for the fruit wine, where did the English accent come into it…was that a character she had previously played and become famous for and so she was in that character for the wine ad…also, and probably completely overthinking it….but with her wig use and love as well…and also that kind of expensive fashion/clothing taste she has etc…was Moira Rose in any way inspired or influenced by the wonderful Joan Collins…

Catherine O'Hara said that the voice she was doing was inspired by old time movie stars, she also was the one who decided to add in the weird words every episode

[Niamh.]

You've inspired me to do another rewatch Ammi

[Ammi]

…that scene was the first laugh out loud scene for me…it was just so silly in its humour but also hitting all of my funny bones because of the character…

Spoiler:

…getting it all wrong and not even realising it after a while and then sailing through when she was drunk…(…as Johnny said, she was always drunk in her acting days, that was the thing…)…and then fluffing it up at the end to make no sense at all…I don’t know why I found that so laugh out loud but I did…

That's probably my favourite scene over all, I just love her character

Pretty sure they are actual words, she said she used to look up really obscure words and shoe horn one in to each episode

……it sounded as though she couldn’t recall the words to the song so just made nonsense sounds……I love it when she does that, though…it’s very funny ….

Spoiler:

They all have really good personal growth there, Alexis especially. All of them bar Moira of course but she should never change
