Best Wishes, Warmest Regards: The Story of Schitt's Creek

I shouldn't be surprised by the incredible attention to detail in this book considering Dan Levy's exacting nature, but I still am. Over 300 pages of stories, beautiful show stills and behind the scenes snaps, fan art, inspiration, and more. A breakdown of everyone of the 80 episodes too. I was grinning as I was going through it. This will be a treasure for years. Even more casual fans will enjoy this.

I, like everyone else, was not psychologically prepared for this show to come to an end. As beautiful as the ending was, just give me one more season! Preordered this bad boy last week and thought, maybe this might fill 1% of the gaping hole in my soul that was Schitt’s Creek. Alas, I feel some glimmer of hope at last. It’s visually stunning. I would expect nothing less from Dan Levy. I don’t plan on rotating this coffee book anytime soon. It’s going to be a welcome treat for all my house guests!

This book is more wonderful, with more colorful photos and comments from all the cast, than I ever hoped for. If you’re a fan of the show, you need this book. It’s bigger than most books, definitely one for the coffee table. The photos are simply gorgeous and the comments from all the cast are just great. I felt like I was a visitor to Shitt’s Creek, meeting and talking with all the beloved residents. I’m enjoying it so much and highly recommending it!

I preordered this book the instant it went up on Amazon, but before I even got my copy I saw Dan and Eugene Levy at the Beacon Theater in NYC hold a conversation about what went into the book and why. They discussed tons of tidbits (Dan even got Moira's missing baubles wrong from the first episode, saying they were bracelets, when the crowd reminded him they were earrings that she misplaced -- "Don't *at* me!" he said, hilariously). They anecdotally discussed content from the book while projecting it on-screen, telling the audience little tidbits (helped by fan accounts like Schittssheets on Instagram) with factoids like: 1. You never actually hear the swear word "sh*t" in the TV series. "F***" yes, but "sh*t" no. 2. Moira never utters the name of the town "Schitt's Creek" at any point during the show. 3. Eugene Levy rejected a scene which placed him on a beach shouting at the ocean in frustration. He didn't want depression to be a factor in his character. 4. When informed that they would continually add dark and preposterous wrinkles to Twyla's backstory, Sarah Levy simply asked --paraphrasing-- "And I still need to say all of this while smiling?" 5. The Johnny Rose-authored book 'Fast Forward To Success' features current-era Eugene Levy posing on the cover, but with a Photoshopped younger Eugene Levy head superimposed on the book jacket. Upon looking through the book itself (event-goers received a copy with their ticket, which was nice since I got to look through it before my Amazon copy arrived) they have heaps of fun details and sections like: 1. The Moiracabulary, which goes over every unique word that Moira uses during the show, such as Eugene Levy's favorite "bombilate" and Dan's favorite "Dangersome." 2. There's a map and guide to all of the misadventures that Alexis is described as getting into on the show, such as being kidnapped by Somali pirates from David Geffen's yacht. Eugene Levy described that only the best of the best of the elite get on David Geffen's yacht - "The Kardashians haven't been on David Geffen's yacht." 3. Fan art (but beautiful fan art) graces the book in places like The Crows Have Eyes 3 - The Crowening movie poster gallery. 4. A gallery of every outfit Moira wore during the series. 5. A gallery of Moira's wigs. 6. Intros written by every actor/character on the show on what it meant to them. 7. Massive amounts of behind the scenes details, like when Annie Murphy and Dan Levy found each other wandering through the sets on the final day of shooting, and just collapsed onto a couch and cried it out as the momentum stopped and the emotion caught up with them. 8. A gallery of fictional books conceived and designed to complement Fast Forward To Success on a bookshelf (the backstories for every character go super deep, so the writer's room would know how to wri...
