* ThePatriarch: Johnny's hard work built the family's fortune, and when they go broke, it's Johnny who holds them together as a family. At the same time, it's a lot harder for him to get back on his feet than his children, as he's an older man with expectations about where he should be in life. They get entry level jobs and start businesses, but he struggles to accept that he has to start over. Eventually he does though, launching a new motel chain with Stevie and Roland (whereas his children are each just starting a small brand).

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Although they frequently get on one another's nerves (especially due to being forced into close proximity in adjoining motel rooms), they just as frequently demonstrate their love for one another. Moira and Johnny are HappilyMarried with an active sex life, and David has been a protective (albeit anxious) big brother to Alexis for her whole life. Note that this love includes gentle teasing as often as it includes awkward support.
* SharpDressedMan: Though they have different tastes, the entire family sport expensive ensembles. Alexis tends to favor light and airy outfits, Moira and David textured black and white extravegances, and Johnny conservative but amazing suits.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Where Alexis is a DaddysGirl (initially), David is a MommasBoy (initially). His stark black and white fashion sense with varied textures mirrors Moira's, as does his melodramatic personality. That said, he has a flair for business that matches Johnny's and he transforms first the Blouse Barn then the failed Schitt's Creek General Store into thriving businesses, the latter as Rose Apothecary.
