WandaVision Scenes Vs. The Sitcoms They Reference

Every TV Sitcom That Was Secretly Referenced In WandaVision
Subscribe: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Things
For those who started watching WandaVision and were VERY confused by what was happening… don’t worry, we were all there with you! In today’s video, we’ll be clearing up any confusion and going through all the homages and easter eggs the show has to famous sitcoms from throughout the decades!
We have LOVED watching Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bethany perform in the style of so many recognizable shows that made TV history what it is today. From performances to sets - the WandaVision team when all out to bring out the best of TV history in the new Marvel hit. The series started off with tributes to some of the earliest tv shows, like “I Love Lucy” and “I Dream of Jeannie”. The 70’s brought all kinds of laughs and quirks with shows like “The Brady Bunch,” which gets a lot of direct nods in WandaVision.
Then when it was time to visit the 80’s, the show brought in some of Elizabeth Olsen’s personal history with reference to the hit series “Full House” - one of the very first shows she ever appeared in!
The show swung into the 90’s and gave the kids lots of fun tropes to work with, reminiscent of those used in Malcolm in the Middle. Once we arrived in the present day, the references didn’t stop and we found ourselves humming along with the theme song the same way we hum along with the one for the show “The Office.” How many references did you catch?

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. Say what you want about Bill Cosby, but watching the Cosby Show as a child made me feel the warmth of a family that I couldn't find at home.

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. But yeah MIND BLOWN 🤯 Idk if I’m just dumb to just realized that…..

I'm not American and I'm born in the late 90's so I did not know any of these shows to recognize the references. 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.

The '80s intro was more Family Ties than Full House.

[@Nope695]

Yup. As a sitcom junkie and youth of the 80s, I thought 80s intro was mainly Family Ties, and then the running in the park and picnic at the end, Full House.

[@Adaj.]

Yes, I'd say mostly Growing Pains (especially the aging up photos and theme song) and Family Ties (painting the family portrait), with a bit of Full House added in (family picnic scene).

[@doeeyes2]

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. The late 80s to early 90s seemed like suge a HUGE step in aesthetics. Only 80s/90s kids will get it.

Well-Family Ties mixed with Growing Pains mixed with Full House. I think it was evenly split between these three shows, and I’m amazed that it was all so seamless.

[@themanicseamstress4590]

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.

[@ryanholmquist8268]

The only reason why that episode gives Gilmore Girls vibes is because the town set is the exact same one at the WB back lot in Burbank.

I finally found an article from the showrunners that mentioned the filming locations for the show & found out about the Ranch.

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. They added the gazebo into the set, likely as a nod to Gilmore Girls and other series shot on the WB lot.

they're so creative im crying

[@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.

[@fad23]

I hadn't clocked the Star's Hollow look.

[@AkshayKumar-sd1mx]

This video showcased the examples so perfectly!

[@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.....

I really like all the different eras they did in WandaVision! And I'm happy mine was in there lol Early 2000s!

[@annaxbeauty737]

Great video! It’s cool to see all of these different shows Wandavision was inspired by!

[@squirtleturtle6256]

At 3:45 there is one slight mistake when talking about the Full House Cover. Michael Gross was not in Full House but was instead in Family Ties. It was just a slight error but wondered if anyone else noticed. I know it was referenced later but just wanted to clear that slight thing up. Great video comparison though. 🙂

[@KJYKJY1985]

Ya, I was about to say she was still saying _Full House_ when the comparison was _Family Ties._

[@dt6234]

They nailed every area perfectly and it is incredible, oh what I would give to see this series one more time without knowing what is happening:(

[@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.

[@Ave_TheBrave]

I loved how the show referenced I Love Lucy

[@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

[@TJUC123]

The thumbnail, though. 😮🤯 Perfect parallel.

[@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.

[@kikiteka]

The only part of episode 5 that acknowledged Full House was the running in the park and picnic. The rest of the intro was a blend of Family Ties and Growing Pains, which were two extremely popular shows in the 80’s.

[@roberttoader464]

Wanda is so relatable I am obsessed with sitcoms. I watched Full House, Superstore, Mr Iglecias, Great News, Fuller House, Modern Family and all one of sitcoms on Netflix

[@PearlieIDV]

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

[@aetch6776]

the mug has reminded me mitchell's mug that says 'i love me'

[@paulonufreyofficial]

I love the references to the sitcoms in WandaVision.

[@treearoha]

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

[@RidezillaPh]

This is why we love the show., its like were having some throwback when we are watching

[@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

[@mariaconnell]

I didn’t know Gilmore girl was a “ sitcom “ I just think of it as a show

[@geeking424]

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

The modern era was an absolute favorite! (Along with every other decade, let’s be honest). The camera side-eyes and confession cams were so hilarious.

[@RichieDb2]

Probably the most creative series I've ever seen. Outstanding.

[@mehmetadembarissever]

Imagine wanda living in a golden girls inspired universe

[@ElMonoloco7890]

That would be hilarious!

[@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!

[@lovinmylife4ever988]

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

[@gottagofastjr5931]

I like how this show is made just so unique

[@dannybenhur6123]

So you new Marvel show for me? Yes Sir, I was thinking of a Sitcom. Which type of sitcom? All of them.

[@fatamy8597]

bro?? modern family is literally one of my favourite shows how the hell did i not recognise they were referencing it 😭

[@delicate.daydreams]

the malcolm in the middle reference >>

[@holodoc]

Great work, except the floating stuff in the early episodes refer to My Favorite Martian.

[@lakshmipriyag5328]

I really want a wandavision sitcom where Wanda has a happy family with vision, her kids and brother making a havoc with their powers and other avengers making cameo each in one episode. 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🤩

[@dannybenhur6123]

Kathryn Kahn nailed the whole sitcom aspect.

[@thalia9789]

The 70s intro also had references to Three's Company and The Partridge Family
