WandaVision and the sitcom homages - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Anyone else watching WandaVision on Disney+, with its many retro sitcom homages? These were the shows I noticed got a nod: The Dick Van Dyke Show, I Love Lucy, Bewitched, The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, Full House, Family Ties, and Growing Pains. Any others?

i watched the first two episodes of WandaVision and to me, the show reminds me of Bewitched. It's a quirky show that deserves a long run.

That second episode definitely had throwbacks to Bewitched, including the animated credit sequence. That was way cool!

The latest one homaged Malcolm in the Middle, and similar late 90s 'x-treme' kid POV shows like Bailey Kipper's POV.

I got the Malcolm in the Middle homage, but I missed any others.

I need to binge watch this when I reactivate my Disney+ account. The trailer looked very good. They really worked in a lot of sitcom homages.

They truly did. Some of them are so small they are blink-and-you'll-miss-them, others are extremely obvious. The Full House one made me laugh out loud.

It's on Disney+, a streaming service. You can go to the Disney Plus website or use a Playstation 4/5, among other options.
