I'm totally swooning over 'Schitt's Creek' right now 🀩🍁. There's something about Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara's quirky chemistry that just gets me every time πŸ˜‚. And can we talk about the amazing supporting cast? Annie Murphy and Daniel Levy as a couple is perfection πŸ’•. But I think what really sets 'Schitt's Creek' apart from other romcoms is its heart – it's not afraid to tackle real issues like grief, identity, and vulnerability, all while maintaining that laugh-out-loud humor 🀣. I've watched it multiple times and I'm still finding new things to love about it πŸ’–.
 
I'm all about 'Schitt's Creek' 🀣 it's like the ultimate feel-good show, but at the same time, it can get so cringeworthy that I love it? The way Eugene Levy's character is just so... extra πŸ™ƒ, but in a good way, you know? But what really gets me is how well the show tackles real issues like family dynamics and identity, all while still being laugh-out-loud funny. It's like the perfect balance of snarky humor and heart.
 
meh, romcoms are so overrated lol πŸ™„ they just make me roll my eyes, like who actually dates someone because of how cute they were in a sitcom? idk about these shows, i mean i love 'parks & rec' as much as the next person but is it really worth getting sentimental over? and what's with all these old 90s shows being mentioned? can't we watch something new for once πŸ€” maybe something that actually deals with real issues instead of just cute relationships?

omg i'm so down for this!!! i've got a major soft spot for "new girl" 🀣 Jess and Nick's will they/won't they drama had me hooked from day one! πŸ•πŸ’˜ who else loves this show? πŸ“Ί
 
I'm kinda loving 'Schitt's Creek' right now lol, it's so cheesy but in a good way? I mean, Eugene Levy is hilarious as the dad and Annie Murphy is amazing as the daughter. But honestly, I've always had a soft spot for 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel'. There's something about Amy Sherman-Palladino's writing style that just makes me laugh out loud every time
 
I'm totally obsessed with 'Schitt's Creek' right now 🀣! I mean, Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara are comedic geniuses - they crack me up every time. But what really gets me is how heartwarming it is beneath all the laughs. It's like, you're laughing one minute, and then suddenly you're just... feeling all the feels πŸ’•. Like, I'm not ashamed to admit that I've binged entire seasons in one sitting because I needed a fix of Rose and David's lovey-doveyness πŸ˜‚. What about you guys - what's your go-to romcom show?
 
I'm so over these nostalgic threads πŸ™„. I mean, I love a good romcom as much as the next person, but can't we focus on something new for once? 'Schitt's Creek' is great and all, but have you guys seen anything like 'Ted Lasso'? It's got that same feel-good vibe without being too cheesy 🀣. Anyway, I'm gonna go watch some 'Trinkets' instead of reading through a bunch of comments about old shows...
 
idk why people still watch that stuff, it's all so cheesy 🀣 anyway i think 'parks and rec' is super underrated, people always gonna say 'the office', but amy poehler is where it's at πŸ™Œ
 
I'm not sure why everyone's making such a big deal about this, but it's basically a distraction from the real issues. I mean, who needs romcoms when there are inequality gaps in our society that need to be addressed? But hey, if you're gonna watch your favorite show, might as well make some popcorn and pretend like everything's okay... meanwhile, have you seen the latest data on student loans? It's a crisis, folks! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ“Š We should be talking about that instead of what shows make us laugh.
 
OMG, I'm totally swooning over 'Schitt's Creek' rn πŸ€©πŸ“Ί its humor is so underrated! I love how it balances witty banter with heartwarming moments of love & connection πŸ’•πŸ˜‚ my go-to show for a feel-good vibe. I'm also loving the revival of 'Frasier', who else is guilty of binge-watching an entire season in one day? πŸ€£πŸ“Ί
 
omg i am literally obsessed with 'new girl' right now 🀩 it's just so relatable and funny but also super heartwarming... i mean who doesn't love jess day πŸ˜‚πŸ‘―? i've watched the whole series like 5 times already and still can't get enough of it πŸ’– have you guys seen it? πŸ“Ί what about you, what's your fave romcom show? πŸ€”
 
i'm so over how many people are gonna say 'friends' as their go-to romcom... like, i get it, it's a classic, but have you guys seen all of 'Schitt's Creek'? that show is literally the epitome of romantic comedy - the writing is impeccable, the characters are so lovable, and the casting? perfection 🀩
 
omg how original, another "what's your favorite tv show" thread... can't wait to see all the "classic" 90s references like 'friends' and 'the office'... anyone who says they love those shows is basically saying they're a basic, unoriginal viewer lol πŸ™„
 
omg i'm totally obsessed with 'parks and rec'!!! it's like, the ultimate feel good show 🌸 every time i watch Leslie and Ron's banter, i die laughing πŸ˜‚ but at the same time, their love for each other is just so beautifully done ❀️ i also have a soft spot for 'the office' - who can resist a good ol' dundie award ceremony? πŸ’β€β™€οΈ
 
omg i'm literally sobbing just thinking about 'Schitt's Creek' 🀣 it's like they perfectly captured the struggles of millennial life but with so much heart ❀️ and twinkle in the eye!!! David & Patrick's bickering is like my relationship goals lol πŸ’β€β™€οΈ also can we talk about the writing on 'Parks & Rec'? i mean, some shows just get it right you know? the characters are lovable, the jokes are on point, and Leslie Knope is literally the spirit animal of our generation πŸΎπŸ’–
 
omg i'm so down for this lol i've got a soft spot for 'parks and rec' it's like the ultimate feel good show - who wouldn't love leslie knope? but if i'm being real, my go-to romcom is probably 'fleabag' it's just so raw and honest about love and relationships. i know it's not your typical romcom, but there's something about phoebe waller-bridge's writing that just resonates with me πŸ˜‚
 
ugh i cant even start my comment cos the forum is so slow rn, been trying to type this out for like 5 mins already πŸ™„. anyway, gotta say though, romantic comedies are literally the best way to spend a lazy sunday afternoon. im totally obsessed with 'new girl' right now, who else loves jess and nick's on-again off-again thing?
 
omg i'm literally obsessed with 'new girl' lol it's like the ultimate feel good show every time jess & nick bick fought it was so dramatic πŸ˜‚ but seriously can't wait to see what other ppl think their go-to romcom shows are πŸ’– gotta agree on 'schitts creek' tho, patrick brewer is literally my spirit animal 🀣
 
omg i'm totally team schitt's creek!! 🀣 that show is like the ultimate feel-good comedy - who wouldn't fall in love with patrick batten and david rose's shenanigans? πŸ˜‚ plus winnie cox just gives me all the life πŸ™Œ but seriously, what's your go-to romcom show? let's get this convo started! πŸ’¬
