The Marvel Cinematic Universe's streaming series regularly pay homage to their TV roots. None of them can match WandaVision on that front, however.

When Marvel decided to let Wandavision pay homage to classic sitcoms little did we know that this idea paid off well. Because if you look at the intros of the first two episodes of Wandavision the intro of the first episode is a homage of The Dick Van Dyke Show and Paul Bettany models Vision after Dick Van Dyke and when you look at the second episode intro Wandavision's intro for that episode it is a carbon copy of Bewitched's intro and in the other episode the Wandavision intro is paying homage to The Partridge Family but Vision in that episode Paul Bettany used Mike Brady as inspiration for the 60's version of Vision. But this was a clever idea Marvel did well and that I think made Wandavision a hit. Another thing that Marvel did smart was actually design the commercial breaks of the first two Wandavision episodes just like real commercial breaks of sitcoms of the day. But I can't figure out why Wandavision wasn't given a chance for a second season because the show itself was a monster hit and made Wanda and Vision very popular in Marvel merchandise and now today even though Wandavision is forgotten Vision dolls and action figures are rare to find now and are sought after
