A lot of people still adore Friends and its impact, continuing to make it one of the most discussed shows that’s no longer on television (except for reruns, obviously). But there’s an aspect of that discussion that doesn’t always put the classic sitcom in the greatest light. As with most shows from the past, some of its jokes haven’t aged well, the direct opposite of you’ll get from Schitt’s Creek.

In this riches to rags tale, the wealthy Rose family suddenly finds themselves stripped of their money, power and privilege thanks to being defrauded by their business manager. That leaves video store tycoon Johnny (Eugene Levy) and one-time soap star Moira (Catherine O’Hara) plucked from their mansion and plopped into the titular small town they bought as a joke with their developmentally arrested adult children David (Dan Levy) and Alexis (Annie Murphy).

Schitt’s Creek began its run in the United States as an underrated darling before attracting more and more viewers thanks to Netflix binge-watching. After wrapping its final season, the series swept the Emmy Awards, taking home all the top honors for a comedy series. It’s clear to see why we have all fallen so deeply in love with the series because it makes everyone feel welcome. Without question, Schitt’s Creek will be the new leader in sitcom history.
