"Punky Brewster" ("Chapter Seven: The Lost Sister")
When Eleven confronts the man who gave electric shock therapy to her mother, he is watching family comedy series "Punky Brewster.” The choice is notable as the show is about a young, abandoned girl who is eventually adopted by a grouchy, older man – much like El and Hopper – and this episode has Punky talking about going to the doctor and being tormented by a giant needle.
