Bart is correct in that Abe's story incorporated multiple TV references, including The Brady Bunch: At one point, the characters sans Young Abe are dressed in a late 60s-early 70s style ala the Bradys, Young Abe is called Greg, a woman resembling the Bradys' housekeeper Alice appears with a tray of fishsticks and jello, and Lisa-Marie gets hit in the nose by a football ala Marcia Brady.
