- Episode One: “In Front Of A Live Studio Audience” WandaVision‘s debut episode throws us straight into 1950s sitcom territory. From the production design, the 4:3 black and white photography, and the nostalgic set and costume design — Wanda and Vision’s relationship in this episode draws heavily on the post-war domesticity of classic sitcoms like I Love Lucy, Leave It to Beaver, The Honeymooners, and The Dick Van Dyke Show, with Dick Van Dyke himself even consulted on the first two episodes.
- Episode Two: “Don’t Touch That Dial” Episode two really ramped up the Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie references. The opening credits themselves are an obvious homage to Bewitched‘s iconic animated credits.
- Episode 3: “Now In Technicolour” Aesthetically, this episode is straight out of the family sitcoms of the 1970s. Drawing from The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and The Courtship of Eddie’s Father — the episode’s opening credits specifically meld the openings of The Brady Bunch, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and The Courtship of Eddie’s Father.
- Episode 5: ‘On a Very Special Episode…’ After a way back to a more MCU-like reality in the previous episode, episode 5 plonked us right back into Wanda’s domestic sitcom bliss.

Still continuing in the monochrome era of TV, WandaVision episode 2 moves throughout the 1960s and into the early 1970s, with Betwitched and I Dream of Jeannie being the episode's primary inspirations. Although this sitcom era takes place mainly in the '60s, it could've gone until 1972, when Betwichedended. Related: Wandavision's Quicksilver Reveal...
Bringing the story into the 1970s and, particularly, into color, WandaVision based its third episode sitcom on The Brady Bunch, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and even a little bit of Charlie's Angels with a few shots. All of those sitcoms carries WandaVisionepisode 3 through to the end of the '70s and possibly into 1981.
Since episode 4 didn't have a new sitcom episode, WandaVision episode 5 jumped forward through to the late 1980s and a little bit of the early 1990s. The biggest inspiration was Family Ties, but there were also references to Growing Pains with a dash of Full House. All in all, WandaVision episode 5took place from 1982 to, at most, 1995.
