I was really looking forward to this series and I got nervous after the first two episodes but it ended up being even better than I had hoped. The way they weaved so many comic stories into the narrative has been a joy to watch. The actors were brilliant and the way they were able to capture the sitcoms era was really impressive. Can’t wait for the finale!

This is the best series I've watched in a long time. Such good writing and leaves me wanting the next episode to come quickly. I'll miss it being over this week. Let's just hope Falcon and Winter Soldier continues this trend.

Is it Friday yet?
Remind me on what the good fandom etiquette rules are for when we can stop using "spoiler boxes" I try to go three days, tops, but man I know it's gonna be so good!

I didn't predict this series drawing so much from John Byrne's 1989 Vision Quest story in West Coast Avengers--the topper being the mid-credits scene from episode 8. Well done.

I think this is something Marvel Studios has been able to do for a while now. They impress not just because they continue to tell a cohesive story spanning a multitude of characters over movies and now tv, but imo, the bigger move, taking 2 or more comic stories meshing them into the these movies/tv series and telling them in an original way that both honors those stories but surprises those who read them.
I still remain impressed by the overall vision they have for the universe they continue to build 13 years in.

Two more days!! Eeeek.
Makes me long for what they can, and will, do with the Merry Mutants.
I could see New Mutants being a TV series all their own. My god how amazing would it be if we ever got shows with the Blue and Gold teams?! My little geek heart couldn't take it.

Episode one is definitely the Dick Van Dyke Show. Dick Van Dyke trips over his furniture after entering from the right side of the screen in the show opener, but Vision simply walks through his in WandaVision.
And the house in episode three is clearly modeled after the house in The Brady Bunch. I recognized the swing set in the back yard immediately.
I really liked the series from the beginning, but appreciated the initial sitcom episode framing even more only after it was abandoned towards the end of the season.

I thought episode 2 was Bewitched, which like the episode, started out as a B&W series, then moved to color.
