When Darcy first saw Monica in the show it was a clip from an episode we hadn't seen before.

Did she not see her in the second episode we saw when they were at the garden committee meeting, or whatever it was?

Would've been funny if, for the 90's sitcom, they chose to do That 70's Show.

A little disappointed with this weeks episode but things are ticking along nicely

The beginning of the latest episode was Malcolm in the Middle

I know are you saying Malcom In The Middle was a 90s show ? Its a 00s show it never aired in the 90s.

It was filmed in the 90s and showed 90s life... We all understand. But to drive it home, maybe its more like Clarissa Explains It All, if that's what you want to hear

Don’t see the evidence in that clip. They can’t do how I met your mother, friends, etc. as it has to be a family show.

I’ve never seen Malcolm in the Middle but it’s a likely candidate if it dies the mockumentary style.

45 seconds in they have Wanda doing the speaking to the camera mockumentary bit, and her lines are delivered a lot like Phil did in Modern family.

Their take On Malcolm In The Middle didn't really work at all. It didn't capture any of the humour of MITM at all

I'm surprised they didn't do a friend's themed episode, probably the most famous sitcom of all?

It worked as much as the others for me, but it’s the period that seemed off. The title sequence, particularly the font, were 90s... but then you’d a single cam, wall breaking setup that was really the 00s?

Malcolm often broke the 4th wall, like Deadpool.
Just saying.

The homage was most clearly to Malcom in the Middle which started in 00. The credits and the boys talking to the camera was 100% Malcolm. Breaking the 4th wall in sitcoms was reasonably common in the 90s too. With Clarissa Explains it All, Saved by the Bell and occasionally Fresh Prince doing it. I feel the last two episodes have been blended decades. Last week the sitcoms portrayed in the credits were Family Ties (80s), Growing Pains (mid80s-early90s) and Full House (late80-mid90s). This week was more late90-early00s in feel.

I was a little disappointed that we didn't get a more fully 90s centric episode with a Married With Children/Simpsons style episode. But realistically they just don't fit with Wanda's narrative. Al Bundy and Homer are not even slightly a representation of her vision of Vision.:P Al and Peg, especially, aren't great people and their marriage is toxic. While the Wilkerson family is chaotic, Hal is a great person who loves deeply and has a variety of random talents. All of the children, while unruly, are extremely intelligent or talented in some ways (Reese's cooking, Francis did a decent job on the ranch). Lois is controlling and displays anger but she is like a lioness who would destroy anyone who hurts her family. So while the fractiousness of the family represents Wanda's loss of control, it is still a family defined by it's constant, deep love.

Watched Endgame again today, and noticed that Wanda, Falcon and Bucky are standing together in their own little group at the funeral. I will not be surprised if the boys show up in Wandavision.
