WandaVision episode 8, "Previously On," revealed exactly Wanda Maximoff's custom-made reality resembles classic American sitcoms, and highlighted one episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show as being particularly important both to her and to the show. Clips from season 2, episode 21, "It May Look Like A Walnut"* not only highlights how influential The Dick Van Dyke Show was on the aesthetic of WandaVision's first two episodes, but also has some major themes in common with Marvel's Disney+ series.
While being forcibly taken on a tour of her past by Agatha Harkness, Wanda revisits the night that her parents were killed. It's revealed that her father used to smuggle and sell DVDs of American sitcoms, and it was a tradition for the Maximoff family to spend a night in front of the TV watching episodes together. On this occasion, young Wanda is given the choice of what to watch and eagerly selects The Dick Van Dyke Show season 2, episode 21 - with young Pietro complaining that they've seen it too many times. "It May Look Like A Walnut" is clearly a favorite of Wanda's, and it's a fitting episode for both WandaVision and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in general.
