TV families who had a baby later on - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I think they call it "Add a Kid" in TV lingo. Sitcoms that have older kids and then suddenly mom and dad are pregnant! Here's what I can come up with

Family Ties
Growing Pains
Step By Step
Fresh Prince
Grounded For Life
Boy Meets World

I'm drawing a blank now, help me with the rest!

Little House on the Prairie - Mary, Laura and Carrie were pretty big girls when baby Grace was born. Too Close For Comfort added baby Andrew when the first two daughters were already grown.

I read that Carol on The Brady Bunch was going to have twins, but thankfully that plot idea was scrapped!!

This one isn't a sitcom but on Cagney & Lacy, Marybeth had two older boys when she got pregnant. She had a little girl that time around.

DallasCowboy probably meant Jesse's and Becky's twins.

And you've forgot about baby Eric on "Alf"!

I believe I read that in the book Bradymania! by Elizabeth Moran. I have the book somewhere around the house. If I can find it, I'll post the exact quote. I think it was just an idea that was thrown out at random - in the later years. I don't know if they were actually serious about it.

I read that too...and they scrapped the idea and brought in cousin Oliver instead. I dunno...right choice?

Uncle Jesse's wife had twins.
Wilona Woods on Good Times adopted Penny at the start of the 5th season.

In the series finale of Perfect Strangers Jennifer (Larry's wife) gave birth to Tucker Appleton after going up in that hot air balloon. Mary Anne (Balki's wife) had already given birth to Robespierre Boinky Bartokomous, and they eventually had more--Balki specified that if he had a girl he would name it Marge.

Also, it was revealed in the finale of The Wonder Years that Karen eventually gave birth to a son. I believe Kevin gave birth to a son sometime down the road, too.

Yes, but this thread is asking for parents who already have (older) kids, then have more kids later in the series. Uncle Jesse didn't have kids at the start of Full House. The same thing goes for Kevin and Karen on The Wonder Years.
