The reviews are great, and the first episode is a hoot. They really commit 100% to the classic sitcom thing right down to the live audience (and a great supporting bit from Deborah Jo Rupp from That 70s Show). Kathryn Hahn remains a force of nature as Agatha Harkness.

 

Elizabeth Olsen has nailed the Mary Tyler Moore/Elizabeth Montgomery vibe. Bettany is always good. And Emma Caulfield from Buffy is almost unrecognizable in a blonde bouffant as the town queen bee. Monica Rambeau also appears when I least expected her.

The logos on various items throughout the show are of S.W.O.R.D., the Marvel Universe's space-faring intergalactic answer to S.H.I.E.L.D. 

 

 

Monica Rambeau has been a government operative on and off throughout her time in Marvel Comics, like her mother before her. Some fans are speculating already that every character other than Wanda and the Vision are S.W.O.R.D. agents lost in this pocket world at her magical whim, or don't remember who they are. I'm not sure of that, but S.W.O.R.D. is clearly heavily involved. Strong Audrey Horne plotline from Twin Peaks Season 3 energy here.

Thanks for all the links @Vee. I'm hunting down all the easter eggs. Paul Bettany was a revelation! Who knew he was that funny? I'm a Marvel ho and a huge Wanda and Vision fan so I was thirsty for more episodes but I'm willing to be patient. If they're going where I think they're going the kid inside is losing his sh!t.

And a nice edit of it:

 

 

Anyone who hasn't seen Elizabeth Olsen's non-MCU work should - she is fascinating and terrifying in Martha Marcy May Marlene. I knew she'd kill this stuff while they finally got to this side of Wanda, a character I have always found both spellbinding and frightening since I was a child. And Teyonah Parris is still amazing, just like she's been since I first saw her in Dear White People. (She is in the new Candyman revival this year as well - the director of that will also be doing Captain Marvel 2, which Parris will co-star in as Monica.)

This week's sitcom opening sequence is a very obvious homage to Family Ties! And the theme song is, God help me, an earworm.

 

I never thought I'd see half of this onscreen and it makes me emotional! I grew up with Marvel  Comics.

I was pretty sure it was coming based on rumors, but woo are we through the looking glass.


Incredible performances all around this week, esp from Olsen and Bettany, and Teyonah Parris. Monica has it on lock! I love how much focus she is getting up front. The beat with her reacting to mention of Carol was quite weighted and I suspect we'll be seeing her dealing with what are clearly strong emotions in future. Did Carol's powers give Maria cancer?

That fix is definitely coming in both print and screen, I'm sure. If they even hint at Magneto in this series I may die.

 

Came across a toy leak (Funko Pops) for a minor easter egg for the upcoming show, and it made me scream.

    • If NBC could have for seen the ratings of Lovers & Friends (the replacement for Somerset).. they would have for sure kept Somerset on the air longer. https://jason47.com/days/ratings1976.html  (ratings for Somerset in the final year) https://jason47.com/days/ratings1977.html (ratings for Lovers & Friends short run...getting as low as a 2 rating).

    • I liked them, too, and was really disappointed it never went anywhere. The whole art theft story was ridiculous, but they had a nice chemistry. Certainly nicer than Alan with Christine. With her, he looked like the funny uncle. The worst thing they did to Bolger, IMO, was having Phillip write that DREADFUL novel and dramatizing it while he wrote it. GAG, that has to be in the running for one of their worst storylines that didn't involve wacky things like clones or time travel. Soaps rarely do school storylines, or don't do them for very long. Not the case so much in the early days of soaps, but after GH took off in the late 70s other soaps took their lead and would catapult teens/young adults into adult stories right away. That's one reason Phillip and Mindy ended up with so many ex-spouses--they started getting married really young. They shipped Dina and Cameron off really fast after high school and stuck Alan Michael in a marriage storyline with Harley. Did he EVER go to college? I don't think so. It may also partly explain why Quint and Annabelle had to go, beyond TPTB wanting to do a cast sweep. Teaching is not a profession that plays well on a soap. Quint definitely had to quit being Indiana Jones, because that wore thin really fast, but they didn't do him favors by making him a professor. If they wanted to keep him, they should have done what they did with Amanda (who was in another dead-end soap job, concert pianist)--have him work at Spaulding as one of the major stockholders.
    • Judith McConnell (Augusta) and Denise Alexander (Lesley) were great screen partners on GH.  They got into some stellar arguments in character in the medicine room.
    • He also commented that Brad knows that fans are sick of the constant fake deaths on this show: Finn, Sheila, etc and that it's hard to take this seriously if it's another fake death

    • I just don't think Brad Bell has it in him to actually kill off Liam. He should have killed off Eric when he had the chance. I know John McCook is an original cast member, but Eric is even more useless than Liam. Eric should have died and then it would be revealed that he died without a valid will, so Donna, as his wife, inherits everything, including his shares in Forrester Creations.
    • I think we all will, isn't that how soaps work? lol    
    • ^^ I'll believe it when it actually happens.
