on sitcoms, dramas, and dramedies. No reality crap here.

One of today's blog tributes was for Darryl Hickman, Dwayne's brother who also played his brother on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. I had not heard of a real life relative being Chuck Cunninghamed before.

The entire Nelson family played themselves on Ozzie and Harriet, including the sons's wives when they came later.

Missy Gold and Tracey Gold- sisters irl and cousins on a Benson episode

Tia and Tamara Mowry- twin sisters both irl and on Sister, Sister

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz- real life married couple (until they weren't) and married couple on I Love Lucy/The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour

Real life brothers Jerry Van Dyke and Dick Van Dyke made a rare TV appearance together as brothers on an episode of The Middle where Jerry recurred. Jerry guest starred on Diagnosis Murder where Dick was the star, I think they were brothers there as well. Also on Diagnosis Murder, Dick and his son Barry Van Dyke played fictional father and son.
