WandaVision Fans Are Loving Malcolm In The Middle References In Episode 6

✖

WandaVision isn't just a pivotal next step in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 4 storyline, it's also a fun retrospective on the evolution of TV sitcoms. Episode by episode (with one exception) WandaVision has taken us from '50s/60s sitcoms like I Love Lucy and Bewitched to '70s hits like All in the Family and The Brady Bunch and '80s hits like Full House and Growing Pains. However, for WandaVision episode 6 it's time to visit the '90s - an era that most Marvel Cinematic Universe fans have actual experience with.

Needless to say, fans are loving WandaVision's recreation of zany, single-camera comedy sitcoms of the 1990s, such as Malcolm In The Middle. In fact, based on the big social media buzz, WandaVision is causing something of a Malcolm In The Middle resurgence right now:

Sitcom G.O.A.T.

I love how this weeks episode of #WandaVision is pretty much paying homage to Malcolm in the Middle. And since that’s my favorite sitcom of all time, my heart blushed #LifeisUnfair

WandaVision episode 6 has re-sparked the debate over whether or not Malcolm In The Middle was the best sitcom of its day. How do YOU Feel?

WandaVision has been taking fans on a door through the history of sitcoms - but Malcolm In The Middle is the first one that most MCU fans probably watched during its broadcast network run. Now the young ones can fully enjoy the nostalgia fun, too!

This ode to Malcolm In The Middle is easily the best mock-up of classic sitcom opening credits that WandaVision has done thus far. Spot-on.

Some fans actually didn't think WandaVision had enough reference to Malcolm In The Middle. They do know these are just homages though, right?

Is That Timing Right?

Not really complaining but is it weird Marvel and WandaVision is considering Malcolm in the Middle (2000-2006) a "'90s show"?

— Eric Francisco (@EricFrancisco24) February 12, 2021

Sure, Malcolm In The Middle started in 2000, but it really was a retrospective look at family life in the 1990s. So if you don't get too hung up on the particulars, the WandaVision reference makes sense.
