Schitt's Creek is still basking in the glow of its seven Emmy wins, including Best Comedy Series and wins in the Best Actor, Best Actress, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress categories for Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Dan Levy, and Annie Murphy. When it was all said and done, Schitt's Creek made it a clean sweep which makes it the first series to sweep all categories during the main telecast.

It took a while for Schitt's Creek to catch on but once it made the move to Netflix, more eyes discovered the show that may not have access to Pop TV. Before you knew it, Schitt's Creek became the comedy to watch and this has led it to its historic night a the Emmys, which happen to be for the show's final season. Schitt's Creek is a prime example of going out on top without milking the idea until it gets sour.
