Some subtle Schitt

So many details in Schitt’s Creek are easy to miss:

Several episodes with the town’s Jazzagals (women’s chorus) went by before I realized that the name must be a joke on the choral institution known as Madrigals. (Ever been to a high-school Madrigals dinner? Fun!)

But one detail that I caught right away: Moira Rose’s (Catherine O’Hara) reference to working with Skip Fosse must be a callback to SCTV, with Bobby Bittman (Eugene Levy) and his kid bother Skip (Rick Moranis). Here they are, on The Sammy Maudlin Show, with Sammy (Joe Flaherty) and William B. Williams (John Candy). Lunacy, with (warning) one ethnic joke early on.
