"The scene that immediately comes to mind is one I watch often when I need a laugh: the opening of the 13th and final episode of season one. The first thing we see is Johnny running — in a full suit, of course — past all of the town's landmarks, like Bob's Garage and Café Tropical. 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 — IMHO — scene is capped off with the ever-dramatic Moira sobbing as she crawls across the floor to where Johnny's still catching his breath. It's so underrated and makes me cry-laugh every damn time." — Alessia Santoro, editor, Family
