No, the first three is all they screened for the media.
The show is 9 episodes and the sitcom eras go from the 1950s to the 2000s. So it's possible the first 6 episodes are the sitcom ones.

I was referring to this:
WandaVision: How Baby Yoda Changed the Binge Release Plan — Plus, Will Episodes Run More Than 30 Minutes?
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige explains why "WandaVision" won't be a binge release, clears the air on "30-minute" episode lengths.

I think the sitcom stuff might continue later on but by the end of 3, more and more outside stuff might be shown and sitcom stuff might take a backseat.

There are still three sitcom eras. They didn't show the media any of the episodes where the twins were anything more than babies. They apparently grow up to teenagers through the course of the sitcom eras (Wiccan and Speed).

Yeah but that comment that after 3 some change takes place seems to suggest something special happening. I generally like the weekly release stuff but I feel low action in sitcom episodes might be off-putting for some especially in regions outside US where most of the old sitcoms aren't popular so homages and reference to them might not be as interesting to them. I only know about 90s and 00s sitcoms personally and I expect others to know even less. So I hoped they'd speedrun the release of sitcom episodes.

Seems to be the S.W.O.R.D. uniform, doesn't have her logo, she'll probably get a better one later.

Been reading the reviews, seems that my suspicions had a shade of truth in them. The sitcom episodes are being criticized for this reason and being a bit too meta and I feel they should have been released quickly.

Australia is fine with sitcoms and I'd assume the UK would be too.
I Dream of Jeanie, Mr Ed, Bewitched, Rosanne, Drew Carey Show, Friends, Modern Family, 3rd Rock From the Sun and That 70's Show were all popular here.
I loved Bewitched and Jeanie when I was younger, they always played reruns of them here.

AFAIK American sitcoms are well known in the UK as well.

Wow this was great. Just don't expect a typical superhero show. Some great acting and they got the setting right it seems. I might have missed some references to older shows but I got the gist of it. It was quite funny and had this eery atmosphere to it. The most unique TV I have personally seen. I don't wanna spoil any plot detail so I'll leave it at that. No post credits if anyone was wondering.

The first two episodes were great. They could be longer but I really liked them.

They won't do post-credits every 30 min. They'll save that for the finale like they did with Mandalorian.

Yeah but the 5 minute credits were too long so I thought there would be something at the end. TV shows don't have such long credits maybe it is due to the scale of the production.

These shows are being made with the same budget, crew, and cast as the Marvel movies. Of course they'll have long credits.

I don't know much about old sitcoms but the humor in the 1st episode was a lot like the old episodes of Tom and Jerry, the kind of expressions and gags. I really liked the 1st one. The second one was fine too, though I did love how silly the premise was. I guess the humor will keep on maturing as eras change.

A friend of mine didn't like it. He is more into the action kind of guy, so I knew it was coming. The show will definitely tank in China when it releases there. Very different approach to a superhero show and seeing what worked there (Aquaman,Venom,etc.), I doubt it will work there.

Could be cool as a one-off, but I suspect it'll turn into another Man In The High Castle where they stretch the concept over too many seasons.
Jethalal

Likely not. I don't wanna spoil anything but this movie leads into Doctor Strange 2, not into some another season. The way where it is headed, if they actually make a season 2, it won't be similar to this at all.

Cool, thanks. I am looking forward to Dr Strange 2 so if this links into it I'm double-interested.

Wanda fucks up the Multiverse in this. That continues into Spider-Man 3 (and Doctor Strange is in that too) and then it's not fixed until Doctor Strange 2. So WandaVision, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange 2 kind of make a Multiverse trilogy.

Interesting, thanks.
I'm aware that Scarlet Witch has a habit of doing this in the comics so it jives with what I know, I just wasn't sure what angle this particular story was taking.

This is all guess work, there are even hints that Wanda isn't fully in control. Fact is, no one knows how this show will end except the production crew.

A lame spoof of "I dream of Jeanie".

Kevin Feige confirmed it at the Investors day. Saying the show continues into Spider-Man and then Doctor Strange.

Strange 2 will have elements of horror, that's what they said before the whole director fiasco. Things might have changed but hiring of Sam Raimi who has made horror movies suggests that it still will have horror in some form.

Really interested. Used to watch Spider-Man 2 train sequence nearly daily when I was a kid. 2020 was too long with too much happening, I know what you feel.

I loved it.
I grew up watching bewitched and i dream of genie.
Honestly i wouldn't mind if they kept the sitcom thing going.

It'll go upto the Office era of sitcom before becoming more MCU-ey. We are in for a ride !

The first 2 episodes where really bizarre, like an old school sitcom, soap opera kind of thing. It wasn't bad though, I laughed a couple of times, especially in episode 2.
Obviously there's some funny business going on! The whole thing is obviously not real. Either Wanda is imagining things or she has brainwashed a whole town to do her bidding. I'm intrigued to find out what's going on... I'll be tuning in next week.

I actually really enjoyed these first two episodes. Maybe due to MCU withdraw, but I thought they were really well done in setting stuff up for the future. I need to rewatch the episodes, but they had me grinning last night and I legit loled at a couple of jokes.
My biggest complaints are:
1) No mention of Pietro or her parents for that matter. If she's recreating this whole damn thing you'd expect she'd want her whole family to be there especially given how her parents dying was a motivation for her to go to Ultron and how painful it was for her when her brother died. Hopefully they show up in future episodes.
2) Perfect American accent Wanda Maximoff. We go from thick Eastern European accent in AoU to a lesser accent in subsequent movies to sounding like a midwestern girl from OH in Wandavision. Call me weird but I liked the accent

Ya, I know they are all linked, we don't know how they are linked though. Other than multiverse.

Finished episodes 1 and 2. The series is starting off at a really slow pace by focussing on delivering authentic old sitcoms but I've enjoyed it so far.
I can't say I would rewatch the episodes any more than I would re-watch the old sitcoms themselves. Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany are nice to watch on screen, moreso Olsen because she's not playing an android playing a human.
