I've watched the first season and apart from the end of the first episode nothing really made me laugh out loud. What are some hysterical moments in the first season for you?

I've watched 2 seasons and it's not a show about hysterical parts, it's more subdued utility I think it starts hitting its stride in season 2 when the family really starts to integrate with the town and the people more as they start to find their places in it.
I'm 7 or so episodes in. For me it's one of those shows that is humorous but not typically laugh out loud funny. The characters and their interactions are fun to watch and the main draw.
Did they hire the same sound guy as Curb? The horn sound between scenes is so Curb.

It's a solid show, but it never really... I don't know... Goes for more than it is? We basically watch it as fluff and as that it's enjoyable.
A few laughs, nothing too important is ever missed.
My only pet peeve has been the town it self. This hick town isolated from City Life is like a hot spot for LGBT+ folks and somehow can sustain a high end Beauty and food store?

Wife and I finished it a couple weeks ago. I liked it but couldn't binge it. I'll probably never watch it again but I enjoyed my time overall.
This show is funny. Arrested Development used to be my fave but they clearly didn't want the title after S3.
Everyone in this family is funny, Roland and his wife are too.

I really enjoy the show, but the more I rewatch, the more annoying David and Patrick become for me.
Alexis is my favorite and has the best character development on the show.

Absolutely! They all did well coming out of their situation, but Alexis is the one that really shone. There were varying layers of growth for the rest of the family but she is definitely the example to look to. It was a shame she and Ted didn't end up together but what a proud moment it was for her when she realised she wanted to go it alone, not even accepting a handout to help.
I recently finished Season 2, and it took a long time for me to get there. I stopped watching season 1 about halfway, then picked it back up again and it was slightly better. Looking back, I can't really think of any hysterically funny moments in season 1 aside from Catherine O'Hara actively being hysterical with her own character. Season 2 was a lot better, where the family starts branching out and really embracing the town and its quirks head-on.
I haven't had a chance to watch season 3 past epsiode 1, but I'm going to stick with the show moving forward. It's gotten a lot better, and I think being familiar with the characters and their quirks makes it funnier.
They'd been purposely vague about it initially, but eventually confirmed that it's supposed to be a Canadian town.
We are mid season three and really enjoying it for the most part.
Can be quite cringy at times though...
And every episode I change my mind as to which character is more challenged by the real world.

Based on the first two seasons, my understanding is that they're in an American town. The references to politics they made have been America-specific, or so I understood it to be.
I binged this show over a few weeks - what a fantastic series. Dan Levy did a great job, I have to assume that a lot of the inclusivity and LGBTQ+ scenes and dialogue were pushed from him.
One of the best series I've seen and I really grew to love all the main characters.
There were a few episodes I had to pause and look up the words she used just because of how awesome the character is, really good writing and great acting too.

I grew up in, and am currently back living at, one of these isolated hick towns. The show's representation is more accurate and realistic than you're giving it credit for. We have a large trans and LGBT community here, plenty of boutique shops that have been around for years, and a ton of idiot racist Trumpers!
While the Roses are American, the town is inarguably in Canada. It's explicitly shown and stated as such multiple times throughout the series.
Likely because it's not an American town. Mostly all the actors are canadian, and the town is supposed to be a small canadian town.
Not sure why American's love to assume everything is American :P
Schitt's Creek is so wholesome in the most hilarious way. Comfort food tv and my personal all time favorite show.
There are a lot of jokes that I love, but some of my favorites are David's 'colostomy bag pants' and "My best to Bob Cratchit" lol.

From what I recall, it's never explicitly shown or stated (unless the version I watched on Netflix has content cut). They never show Canadian flags, mailboxes, license plates, money, or anything. It's a show that technically takes place in Canada but very deliberately hides it.
Im not even sure theyre American, the first episode pretty sure the CRA showed up, not the IRS.
They left out the 'C' on their uniforms but yeah, it wasn't the IRS.
A bunch of current NBA players lived in the actual "Rose" Motel before the show. They were even there when the show started filming. The owner bought it to house young NBA prospects for a nearby facility.

When it comes to “Schitt’s Creek,” the breakout television comedy that swept this year’s Emmy Awards, no one needs to fill in Miami Heat forward Kyle Alexander on the premis…

I was going to ask about that. The first episode just seemed mean and not funny so we stopped. Guess I should pick it back up?
Yes, the Roses and townspeople start getting along much better and that makes it a more enjoyable and less abrasive show, IMO. There's a good moment in, IIRC, the 3rd season that shows just how much the Roses have changed in terms of their old life to new life.
Keep watching. It's not mean at all. It's a very heartwarming show.
I'm halfway way through season 2. I like the characters but it's not really laugh out loud funny. I must be the only person who is irritated by Moira's accent too.
Indeed. This show is the opposite of mean. The whole thing is pure wholesomeness. Can't even recall if there's a single antagonist.
Nah, I hate her sing song voice too. I learned to enjoy hating it though, so there is that
I watched the first 2 episodes and it didn't really grab me. Maybe it's just not my sense of humor, but I didn't find it all that funny.
