Yup, he's on the Island of Misfit TV Characters along with Chuck Cunningham, Judy Winslow, Carl Dixon and the other forgotten Morgenstern sibling, Debbie.

Yeah, but Debbie only appeared once, in The Mary Tyler Moore Show's fourth season episode "Rhoda's Sister Gets Married". Mary accompanies Rhoda to NYC to attend the special event. Debbie was played by Liberty Williams, who is probably best known as the voice of Jayna in Super Friends. She also played the title role in the godawful first pilot of Tabitha, before it was reworked with Lisa Hartman.

No problemo!! Brenda was not seen (or mentioned, I think) in that episode, to make things even crazier.

LOL That's really funny considering Brenda turned out to be a great character. I wish Rhoda would've somehow addressed where her missing siblings were.

also, the 5th(?) Huxtable daughter from "THE COSBY SHOW", Lt. Dish and Spearchucker from "MASH", Carol Bradys parents, the girls cat "Fluffy" from "THE BRADY BUNCH", Fred and Dottie and their daughter Janie from "THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW", and numerous others.

Additional tidbit about Rhoda's siblings-- In an earlier episode of TMTMS, when Ida comes to visit, she refers to Rhoda's brother, Arnold, and sister, Brenda. Yet in the 4th season episode discussed above, its sister Debbie who gets married. When Rhoda premieres, Debbie is never heard of again, but we meet Brenda. We never meet (or hear of anymore) Arnold.

Anyway, in my mind, there are 4 Morganstern siblings, Rhoda, Arnold, Brenda and Debbie! I guess we can assume Ida drove Arnold and Debbie away.
