I just love how the show’s name works on so many levels: 1. The show is about Wanda and Vision, obviously: Wanda & Vision. 2. Wanda is married to Vision and she took his last name, since Vision is a mono-name, her last name became Vision: Wanda Vision. 3. Television shows are “televised visual programs”, hence this living sitcom created by Wanda is: Wandavision. 4. The show is set in a dream world of Wanda, so it’s her “vision” realized: Wanda’s vision.

WandaVision is sad and deep in so many levels. A lot of neglected children in the past used TV sitcom as their foster family. A child whose parents were never home, or whose parents fight and bickering all the time, for examples.

Elizabeth Olson is such an Amazing actress. She got the tone and pacing perfect, and even the inflection in her voice was just like the era of the sitcoms they were doing. Like she was channeling Laura Petrie and Samantha from Bewitched and Mrs. Dunphy. It wasn't just a different set, but her whole characterization changed and the way she spoke and moved. She must have studied those sitcoms. I know she studied at several different acting schools and acting troupes. I think that those varying methods have allowed her to cover so many acting styles flawlessly.

Ok i just realized something. Yes the intros are incredibly similar to the shows the pay homage to, but there is one difference that may not be noticeable at first but once you see all of the WandaVison intros together, you will notice that if the OG intro includes a shape, (which most of them do), the WandaVison version replaces the OG shape with a hexagon. And guess what the name of the anomaly they’re in is nicknamed, thats right the HEX just like the shape HEXagon that is in most of the WandaVison intros. That is a very small and interesting detail or Easter egg that I thought was cool they included and is only noticeable if you watch all the intros together.

While I have seen videos highlighting them, I didn't know how far they had gone to get it right down to a T. Seeing these videos makes me appreciate the show so much more than just for it's plot, character arcs, costumes, performances, special effects and the pace. It actually blows my mind how the set remains the same but still somehow looks like the set of so many TV shows. And to think that even all this is part of the plot: Wanda put in all these details herself because that's what she picked up when she watched these shows as a child, and then later with Vision, the two truly happy phases of her life. In my opinion, this show is a pinnacle of Marvel's work.

There were far more nods to Bewitched than to I Dream of Jeannie. A very telling point was that Agnes/Agatha lived in the Bewitched house, though the set of Wanda's home was straight out of Bewitched, as were her hairstyle and costumes. Also The Dick Van Dyke show figured far more prominently than I Love Lucy. The sets were dressed very like the Dick Van Dyke Show house.

[@ss04to06]

I agree that Episode 2 was much more Bewitched than Jeannie. As for Episode 1, it was much more Dick Van Dyke in terms of the set however the zany comedy was somewhat based on Lucy with a bit of Bewitched thrown in there. Agnes played an Ethel Mertz-type role in Episodes 1 and 2 (given that in Bewitched there is no "best friend" character that I can recall).

The picture sequence showing them age from childhood to adult hood in the 80s episode, I don’t remember that ever being part of full house. However they did do it on family ties as well as growing pains. Also important to note the opening bit with the family portrait is being painted by a paintbrush, that is the iconic opening of family ties. Also the interior of their house in the 80s is reminiscent of the Torkelsons (which I think might’ve been the 90s, but it would’ve been 90s early) as well as full house and a few others.

Full House, Growimg Pains, Family Ties, Roseanne all used the "aging up" in the opening credits. Something kinda nostaligic and familiar about it... makes the character's actually feel like family. Or like you are watfhing a real family. I remember feeling nostalgic watching "older" episodes of 'Married With Children' because Bud and Kelly looked SO DIFFERENT in the opening credits/ depending on the season. Same with Whos the Boss.

[@ryanholmquist8268]

Gilmore Girls wasn’t an inspiration for the aughts-based episode. The town set they used (for the majority of episodes, not just for the Halloween scenes) is a part of the WB back lot in Burbank. It only came off as more obvious in this episode due to the use of color and the prominence of the gazebo. The WB back lot - the town square and other buildings and streets surrounding it - is used by many, many other series and movies. Gilmore Girls only happened to make the most extensive use of the town square. An example of another popular show shot there is Friends, specifically in scenes that take place on the street outside of Central Perk. If you pay close attention to shots (in both GG and WV, iirc) in which the narrow street with taller buildings is visible, you should be able to see where Friends was filmed.

[@dontdosadness]

They actually shot the series on Golden Oak Ranch since it's disney owned property. WB isn't letting the mouse on their shooting lots and they aren't forking the money over to them either, lbr.

I like how this show is made just so unique

[@piece0fcharsiu]

the creativity of this show is so underrated

[@karabolefa9487]

You forgot how WandaVision included the opening of the Bewitched movie opening scene thing , where it starts of saying that the house is sold.

[@TJUC123]

The thumbnail, though. 😮🤯 Perfect parallel.

I cant be the only one who got mad when she didn't roll her R when saying Pietro's name ✋🥲

[@Jmcinally94]

This is super helpful if you dont live in the US. I knew about all of the sitcoms you mentioned, but didnt exactly have reruns on repeat growing up. The show felt very thematic but I didnt realise quite how literal the homages were sometimes!!!

[@allieknorr5917]

That’s the whole point of the show though

[@helennebernal5703]

Right

[@myprofilepicdoesntexist7710]

Exactly

[@ellieofthebeast7952]

No one’s surprised that they referenced old shows, the video is just showing the comparisons side by side

[@resurgingflame]

& u missed the point of the video.....

Kathryn Kahn nailed the whole sitcom aspect.

[@divachiquita714]

It's so underrated how the actors, especially Elizabeth Olsen, perfectly change tone and acting style for each decade. Unreal skill.

[@bluesyrupgc4224]

I know a lot of people talked about the wrong word choice in this video, I’m just gonna say it again lol The show was supposed to “copy” the popular sitcoms, because Wanda made her world looks like the sitcoms she watched, believing sitcom is her answer to happiness

[@marissalove8986]

I’ve always loved her but this show really brought out her emotions, and as an actress & model..... it’s HAAARRRDDDD showing that vulnerable side To directors, your agent and some people you just met Like 5 minutes prior to that scene being shot. I loved seeing that side of her though, (They always type-cast her as a happy go lucky boho-chic rich girl) especially w/ episode 9. I really resonated with a lot of memories from her past. And that really brings us viewers to understand & feel that pain she’s going through. Especially when she first enters Westview. When she arrives to Vision & Her forever “Home”, where They were to “grow old”together. (I don’t cry a lot... but everything in this scene-is so on point with how I’ve felt lately & That anger she lets out is 💯 relatable. (Especially after she sees Vision at S.W.O.R.D- with all his wires cut/taken apart💔 😭 ) pulling up to their house, slowly walking and absorbing everything all at once. It’s hard to accept after all the pain and loss she’s already been through. I could feel her pain, anger, regrets & things she wanted to do in the future but couldn’t bc The people and family she loved, who she wanted to be a part of her life-just gone. Wanting to go back in time and freeze to the perfect moment; before everything she built was ripped from under her feet. I was soo disappointed i binge-watched it in one day instead of spreading it out. And then to see The Marvel Universe AS USUAL..... give us very little hope for a season 2) I’d LOOVVVEEEE a season 2... but then again, season one was soo perfect and the concept was one of the best I’ve seen since the movie-turned-show “what we do in the shadows”. It’s Like They would be either going in circles starting from the 50’s to present day again, or just have it be in 2021, doing similar episodes to modern family, The Simpsons, South Park, American horror story, comedy stand up specials

[@michaeldelcastillo7211]

to go from this to dr.strange.....I love Lizzie!!!

[@PearlieIDV]

I got so excited when i realized they were referencing Malcom In The Middle bc it's one of my fav sitcoms!!

[@christianfrederick4272]

It's kinda ironic how Olsen's twin was in Full House.

[@adwitiyasamaddar]

Olsen twins, not olsen's twin, they are older to her and she doesn't have a twin, outside the mcu that is😅

[@TheRockinDonkey]

Those end credits you showed in the video are the standard disney+ end credits. They're the same across all Marvel shows as well as The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett.

[@scorpiothegreat1]

The 80’s were based on Family Ties and Growing Pains.

[@paulonufreyofficial]

I love the references to the sitcoms in WandaVision.

[@GrooveMcDuck]

You're missing a lot of references here. The 80s era episode was heavily influenced by Growing Pains as well (Bohner). The 60s era episode was influenced more by Bewitched than I Dream of Jeannie.

[@Luvaris]

As a German, I really appreciate this video because I didn’t grow up on these shows and it lets me appreciate the references more :)

[@NurseDemars]

You left out strong similarities in the music of episode 3’s title song to The Partridge Famiiy

[@treearoha]

Hands down one of the best shows I’ve ever watched. Also the plot twists blow my mind 🤯

[@lordvenjix3757]

Awesome video 👌

[@geeking424]

Cool video! I'm sure the producers appreciate y'all noticing and sharing!

[@bearhall4919]

That "full house" homage was not Full House... it was Family Ties.

[@thalia9789]

It was mostly inspired by the Family Ties intro but it had a little Full House in there too with the picnic and running scenes

[@fromwalet]

I'm not even american, but I grew up watching these shows just like wanda, so I'm happy with the much effort they put to make it similar..

[@abrahamdiaz3648]

“Agatha al along” font are from 50’s show “Twilight Zone”

[@thalia9789]

True! The song is definitely a reference to The Munsters though

[@michaelrizzello3763]

I think the Munsters borrowed that from TZ!

[@Shimarenda]

A good run-down. Thanks! I'll add a couple for consideration. While the opening of the 3rd episode is an obvious homage to the Brady Bunch, the title splitting in different colors from top to bottom of the screen is based on the opening of the Mary Tyler Moore show. Another Dick Van Dyke connection! While the animation of the 2nd episode opening is based on Bewitched, the music is based more on I Dream of Jeannie. The chord progressions and the change of tonal center in the middle third are spot on for Jeannie.

[@mehmetadembarissever]

Imagine wanda living in a golden girls inspired universe

[@ElMonoloco7890]

That would be hilarious!
