Hidden details
- Behind the scenesA real audience in episode 1
The laughs in the first episode aren't canned. It was shot in black and white, over two days, in front of a live audience, like '50s sitcoms. The crew even talked to Dick Van Dyke about what his set was like.

The first fake commercial sells a Stark Industries toaster that beeps and flashes a red light. Remember that when the show gets into Wanda's past.

In episode 2, the commercial is for a Strücker watch, with the Hydra symbol. Baron Strucker was the one who experimented on Wanda and Pietro.

At the dinner in episode 1, the wine is Maison du Mépris, with a big M on the label. It's a nod to House of M, the saga where Wanda rewrites reality after losing Vision.

The "Pietro" who knocks on the door is Evan Peters, who had already played Quicksilver in Fox's X-Men movies. The recasting is a deliberate joke by the show.
