WandaVision Scenes Vs. The Sitcoms They Reference

Every TV Sitcom That Was Secretly Referenced In WandaVision

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?

The way they perfectly nailed the Dunphy house look for the Modern Family episode is amazing.

They nailed every era.

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.

I think the “I love Wanda” mug is more of a reference to Mitchell’s “I love me” mug from Modern Family

I could watch 11 seasons of a normal wandavision sitcom. I wanna see Vision being a nervous dad, Wanda being a momboss, and see the boys grow up :sobs:

Elizabeth Olsen and Kathryn kahn deserve Emmy's for this show.

Separate beds weren’t necessarily a common practice in the 50s, just on 50s TV because showing a couple in bed together in any way was akin to full frontal nudity today.

Guys... no one is saying they're surprised the show references old sitcoms. The video is just showing what those references were.

At first I was like why does Wanda's world became an american sitcom if she is European. Then I watched episode 8 and I cried because that was Wanda's coping mechanisim 😂😂😂

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.

Wanda as Claire was epic.
Agnes reminded me of Gloria, she even sat on the couch the same way she always does.

I genuinely think Elizabeth Olsen could play a mom role in a sitcom.

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 don't think the proper word for saying it it's "copied" that's literally the point Lmao, she made this perfect world of the sitcoms she grew up watching...

[Tulpen]

The beginning of the 80s episode was of Family Ties. You literally even showed images from Family Ties but still called it Full House. Even the set of that episode, esp. the kitchen was mostly like Family Ties.

[heidi]

actually the wedding dress wanda wears is a tribute to audrey hepburns wedding dress in funny face!

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.

why is everyone saying “that’s the whole point of the show, ” guys, they are just sharing the references they made in the show 😭 yall tryna cancel everything

[dojadogx]

WandaVision really was a cultural reset in terms of original concepts in live action hero filmography which will influence a generation and is a timeless work because it has so much longevity like IM SHOCKED and sad that they made this a limited series

[henriquesetti]

"similar colors" the credits are literally just white
lol
