Question

Fans discuss why the main characters' siblings are rarely shown or mentioned on the show, noting exceptions like George's brother, Elaine's sister, and Jerry's sister in various episodes.

Here's a thought?

Why, as far as I recall, they never show or even talk about Jerry's, Elaine's, George's and Cosmo's (with a C) brothers and sisters?

George mentions a brother in The Suicide and The Parking Spot. Elaine is returning from visiting her sister in St. Louis in The Airport

They HAVE talked about Elaine's sister, Jerry's sister and George's brother, but that's about it . . . except in the "Nip" episode when Elaine's sister called her, furious about that picture.

In a recent syndicated episode, Elaine got to visit her sister in St. Louis because Jerry got 2 airline tickets to his concert. On the flight back Jerry got to sit in 1st class but Elaine was stuck in coach.

Actually, Elaine has a sister named Gail whom she talks on the phone explaining why her Christmas card showed her nipple. George also mentions a brother in an early episode who is never mentioned again.
