SPECIAL: During the early stages of development, several networks suggested changing the show's title to make it sound less vulgar. The Levys opposed these suggestions, arguing that "Schitt" was a legitimate surname. To prove their point, they brought pages copied from a phone book to the CBC listing individuals with the last name "Schitt". The CBC agreed and allowed the Levys to keep the original title.
