Episodes

Picture Season Episode number Episode name Reference
CouchGagS7E03.png 7 131 "Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily" Couch gag: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Grampa, Santa's Little Helper, and Snowball II are in a nine-square grid as seen in the opening credits of The Brady Bunch.

The Simpson Family Smile-Time Variety Hour.png 8 177 "The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase" The show is a parody of The Brady Bunch Hour, which was cancelled after nine episodes.
George Cauldron.png 12 249 "Treehouse of Horror XI" The witch in the "Scary Tales Can Come True" segment claims to have a boyfriend named George Cauldron. This is a reference to the episode "The Not-So-Ugly Duckling" (1970), where Jan Brady has a make-believe boyfriend named George Glass. However George Cauldron, unlike George Glass, turns out to be a real person and not just a made-up name.
15 249 "The Regina Monologues" The first act plot — where Bart happens upon a $1,000 bill and Marge subsequently tells him to advertise for its rightful owner — is inspired by the 1970 episode "The Treasure of Sierra Avenue."
19 412 "Love, Springfieldian Style" The third segment, when introducing the story, Bart mentions The Brady Bunch.
