I think the most recent one is the most impressive Like just a perfect job of telling you what song it's supposed to be (the theme of The Office) without actually being that song in any legally actionable way, and also still being the WandaVision theme

Fun tidbits: The '70s WandaVision theme is titled "We've Got Something Cookin'", which the songwriters have never publicly admitted is a reference to "Too Many Cooks" but obviously is

The lead singer on the Malcolm in the Middle punk theme is Kathleen Hanna from Bikini Kill They wanted it to be a "riot grrl" song in reference to the female-centric themes of the show, although in context it comes off as Tommy and Billy singing the song

It's pretty impressive how the natural transition from the Family Ties opening to the casually grunge-inflected Malcolm in the Middle sequence, despite being a natural cultural transition, also perfectly epitomizes the show's narrative of a simple domestic life falling to chaos

Right, and the sort of meandering, surreal, laid-back pace of a Michael Schur sitcom in contrast to something like Malcolm in the Middle is a sign of Wanda falling into a deep depression

It's kind of a snarky jab at the modern sitcom format that when Wanda enters this era it's because she's completely given up maintaining the consistency of her world Breaking the fourth wall and just directly saying what she thinks to the camera because who gives a shit

It totally is the thing where as a sitcom's writer's room loses interest in the kid characters they gradually get Chuck Cunninghamed off the show entirely

I like how Agatha Harkness' villain role in this show is just riffing on how the Fantastic Four used her as a babysitter all the time because Reed and Sue are actually terrible parentshttps://twitter.com/Steph_I_Will/status/1364070110181404672?s=20 …

Anyway, look, if you choose to outsource your parenting to someone else because you're not temperamentally suited for childcare that's your prerogative Just, like, don't complain when the babysitter you hire starts teaching the kids witchcraft and Satan worship and whatnot

I'd say my life would be better with an Agnes but my mom would have just seduced her and made things worse
