The anti-thesis of a Cinderella story could be experienced in a small neighborhood called Schitt$ Creek. Creators Daniel Levy and his father Eugene Levy put together this TV sitcom production that spawned from Daniel pondering about this plausible situation: "I had been watching some reality TV at the time and was concentrating on what would happen if one of these wealthy families would lose everything. Would the Kardashians still be the Kardashians without their money?"
From there. Daniel and Eugene spun the threads of this plot to turn it into a full-blown TV sitcom. The show premiered on CBC Television on January 13, 2015. Wikepedia has made a run down of the show's awards and accolades. Baggin the ACTRA Award and 18 Canadian Screen Awards, It is the first Canadian comedy series to be nominated for a Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Comedy Series and first to win a MTV Movie & TV Award, winning Best Comedic Performance for Daniel Levy in 2019.
