The series is an amazing fusion of Classic Cliches and Marvel Cinematic Universe(MCU), which is based on Marvel’s character Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch and Vision, two super-powered beings living glorified 50’s sitcom lives in suburban and started to suspect everything is not what it seems.

Dick Van Dyke Show:

Especially, the set of the series the way in which the kitchen is divided with a window that peeps into the dining area. And even The Dick Van Dyke Show’s first episode had Rob’s boss invite him to a dinner party, and in the series, Vision is seen inviting his boss at dinner too.

I Dreamed of Jeannie:

Specifically used to showcase Wanda’s magic after-effect effortlessly, like objects hovering, invisible strings, speedy cutaways used for things to hastily appear or disappear.

Bewitched:

The second episode of the series pays tribute to the ageless fancy sitcom ‘Bewitched’, the opening scene of the series playing a sequence in a similar fashion. And, as with so many Bewitched epilogues, the series second episode concludes with a crisp exchange and a kiss.
