How could I forget to mention Samantha Stephens of Bewitched?? She was the only child of Endora and Maurice. Darrin may have been an only child as well - at least I never heard him or his parents refer to other children in their family.

Stacy, Jenny actually had a brother on the Jeffersons. I don't remember the character's name but he was played by Jay Hammer (Guiding Light). Does anyone else remember him?

Thank you! I was wracking my brain trying to remember his name. Since he wasn't on for very long, I can see how some viewers would not remember him.

My pleasure.And I'm not sure about this,but I think Dobbs and Vanderbilt on "F Troop"were only children.
