[S5E8] A Very Big Mouth Christmas

Schitt's Creek is the single greatest TV show to grace this planet, and anyone who dares to disagree can \"eat glass\" \u2014 hypothetically, of course. No other series has ever made me laugh and cry (and cry-laugh) as much as the Canadian sitcom has, and though its 80 episodes are each short, they cram in tons of hysterical, touching, quotable, and surprising moments worth revisiting. And I must acknowledge the Rose family's unbeatable character growth, which is an utter joy to watch unfold.\nNow that the sixth and final season has finally hit Netflix, it's the perfect time to take a walk down memory lane and look back on the scenes that make Schitt's Creek so darn lovable. With a little help from fellow POPSUGAR editors who also adore the show, I'm breaking down (simply) the best moments we can't get enough of, from the commonly cited exchanges to the under-the-radar antics you might have glossed over the first time around. Cozy up in your favorite David Rose-esque sweater, queue up some Mariah Carey, and check 'em all out ahead, in chronological order.\n\n Related:\n\n \n \n \n \n\n Who Said It?

All you can hear are his designer dress shoes slapping the pavement and his deep wheezing. He finally reaches the motel and the scene flicks to Moira, David, and Alexis, who are halfheartedly making breakfast in their room. When Johnny enters, hunched over, lungs burning, trying to smile and express some kind of joy because he can't speak through his breathing, his wife and children simply stare at him, deadpan. The gasping goes on for so long that David even turns to look behind him, checking to see if he's being Punk'd. Finally, Johnny manages to say that they're 'getting out' of Schitt's Creek, and they all celebrate. The iconic \u2014 IMHO \u2014 scene is capped off with the ever-dramatic Moira sobbing as she crawls across the floor to where Johnny's still catching his breath.
