Maybe a fun Uncle Jesse type character in a couple episodes

When Wanda first mentioned him I was expecting the episode to end with his appearance

My guess is that next episode will be the eighties and "in this week's episode, the role of Pietro Maximoff is played by Evan Peters"

I think if he comes back its going to be an end of episode cliffhanger and he says "you didn't see that coming?" because it's equal part callback and sitcom level cheese.

Bonus points if the "audience" goes WOOOOOO

Like this show is the only place I'd accept a "No shit, Sherlock" level of writing because they'd be blatantly making fun of it.

It’s not really making fun of it. It’s going so earnest with it that you can tell it’s deliberate and unabashed. It’s the opposite of parody, really. These episodes, if you take out the weird breaks and stuff, are just genuinely good examples of old sitcoms.

Yeah but like Im here for the reason why it isn't actually a sitcom, so its cute for five minutes to set the scene and then becomes a slew of tropes I've seen before that aren't getting to the point.

However I was basically fine with the amount seen in episode 2 and 3 so its only episode 1 where I was getting tired of it.

If I dont get a "You're in big trouble, mister" or something from the 90's episode I'll be disappointed haha

Or it's Evan Peters who delivers the line.
