This episode is again inspired by one sitcom in particular. Bewitched ran from to , starring Elizabeth Montgomery as a witch named Samantha, and Dick York, then Dick Sargent, as her regular human husband Darrin. Sound familiar? Wanda Maximoff is also known as her superhero alias Scarlet Witch.

As WandaVision has traveled through the decades, its sitcom references have spanned from early black-and-white episodes paying tribute to The Dick Van Dyke Show, I Love Lucy, and Bewitched to more recent episodes paying tribute to '80s classics like Family Ties. Now, as the show gets into its stretch run, the shows lampooned are starting to be a little more recent—and maybe a little more recognizable to younger viewers. Episode 6 speeds the pace up, removes the laugh track, and features an intro sequence that should look very familiar to anyone who gets the reference. Well, it shouldn't be too much of a mystery. In a January interview with Men's Health , Paul Bettany—who plays Vision—specifically mentioned Malcolm in the Middle as a show WandaVision was paying tribute to—and one he needed to brush up on a bit. But even if you don't want to take the word of Vision himself, there are plenty of hints as to what show WandaVision episode 6 is based on. That show aired from to , running for 7 seasons and episodes.

That means that throughout the season, we've gotten a lot of retro TV shows that, for some viewers, have been a trip down memory lane.

Disney Plus's hit series WandaVision is part Marvel thriller and part sitcom goldmine. Each episode is filled with Easter eggs for Marvel comics like Wanda's comics-accurate Scarlet Witch costume and sitcom references from the era each episode is meant to represent. Read on for a rundown of the references that have appeared in WandaVision. A word of warning, though, this article contains some light spoilers for the series. Episodes 1 and 2 were the first introduction that audiences had to WandaVision , as they debuted on Disney Plus together.
