What all sit-coms or tv dramas had twins playing the role of young children.

Of course the most famous probably the Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley on Full House.

Erin and Diane Murphy as Tabitha on Bewitched
David & Greg Lawrence as Adam on Bewitched
Lindsay & Sidney Greenbush on Little House on the Pararie

The TVLAND Awards Show should have a reunion of them.
