Yeah, the best kinds of parodies are done out of a love for the source material, and that's the best thing about it. That they clearly love those kinds of shows.
Yep, kids, never go full child star.
She came out unscathed. I still remember her in the sleuth vhs tapes in the butt out song
Double Toasted (the reformed Spill.com) mention that by the third episode he started getting bored by the formula, and then right when he was getting sick of it "shit got wild".
I was gonna watch that video after the third episode comes out, but that pretty much confirms my theory on why they released 2 episodes to start. I'd be all for a slow build series but having to wait week for not much to happen would be rough.
That's all the more reason why the (outdated as fuck) weekly episodic release schedule sucks so much.
Yeah, the first episode wasn't at all "I Love Lucy" to me. It was definitely more of a mix of The Dick Van Dyke Show and the Donna Reed show. The opening credits to the first episode even did an ottoman joke, which had me laughing out loud.
Still annoyed about the release schedule but episode 3 left me wanting more instead of just curiosity.
It can be tough when you've become used to the netflix model, but I kind of prefer it this way. If nothing else discussion doesn't die instantly like it did with shows like Daredevil.
It's got enough easter eggs and stuff shoved in that it can last the week until a new episode. Really enjoying how they are putting small things in for people to find notice. Reminds me of the actually psychological mind fuck films before everthing became so over the top.
Maybe people are a lot more tolerant of Mystery Box bullshit than I am. There needs to be more than "ooh, there's a mystery! Wouldn't you like to find out what's going on??" I need things like compelling characters, dramatic situations, and good storytelling to get me invested in a show. Not, you know, twenty-five minutes of boredom followed by "dat black gurl be spooksy."
I like to think of it more as a character study on Wanda. You just have to sift through the obvious sitcom tropes, but the references are there. The most obvious ones are the in-universe advertisements like the ticking toaster that's basically the bomb her and Pietro had to endure for like 2 days.
She said Wanda's(?) outfit was foxy, it's a compliment. Her name was still Geraldine.
