I wouldn't call it mean-spiritedness. More that the sitcom world is more of a trap. Either by some unknown force or by Wanda herself. Jury still out on that one. So it's not that the homages are against the sitcom tropes, but that the sitcom world itself might be against the people. So there is some push back. The first episode there isn't any pushback, 2nd a little, 3rd a little more. Like I said in another post above, they do the delve into where the jokes are getting a little lamer and fall flat, but the laugh tracks continue. Almost as if the sitcom world itself is mocking them. Edit: When I said unknown force or Wanda: I should say the catalyst for the creation of the world could be unknown force, as it's obvious at the end of 3rd episode, (and some scenes in epi 1 and 2) Wanda has control over the world. We still don't know if Wanda created the world or if something else did and she just took over. I mean, I haven’t seen the show, so I’m theorizing without data (Sherlock Holmes would be very cross with me). So take my comments with a grain of salt, but I’m just basing on reviews I’ve read. I get that. I was just popping in my 2 cents. Some could see it as mean spirited as it's looking like the sitcom world itself is against the characters. So it being part of the antagonistic force of the show then it could be seen as being in a bad light. Kind of like in Pleasantville the world itself was seen as a representation of all that was bad and glossed over in the 1950's. Here the tropes of the 50/60/70 are used to fill the world, but it also could be that the tropes are also traps. To early to tell but look's like that might be the case. The homages though see to be heartfelt to a degree though.
