2.Why we never saw Kenny's Relatives?
3.Why we never saw Elvin's Parents?
4.Why we never cockroach parents?
5.Why we never a high school graduation?
6.Why we never saw a Christmas episode with Huxtable children coming downstairs to get their gifts under the Christmas tree?

The episode when the Sondra gave birth to the twins when we saw Elvin's parents. His mom was seen in a number of episodes. At least twice.

1 & 4 --- irrelevant

2 --- I think it's funnier that way---every classic sitcom has to have at least one "never-seen" character, and Kenny's brother is a great one.

3 --- Yeah, they were seen a couple o' times, and she more.

5 --- Valid question, and interesting

6 --- The BEST question you asked, IMO. I never even thought o' that, but that SO shoulda happened!!

you're right about the christmas episode thing. THey had a few other holiday episodes like thanksgiving day & B-day's, but they never had Christmas. The closest i ever remember then ever talk about Christmas was when they talked about Santa Clause(like when Cliff told Olivia he knew Santa Clause).Maybe they didn't have Christmas shows because they were afraid of alienating particular fans of the show that didn't practice christmas, so they decided to not do near it.
And maybe they didn't focus on High School graduation because they thought it more important to focus on the ascension in to higher learning. Having to do with how many episodes they had to put out in a season.Maybe they just didn't have the room.i dunno, just my thoughts....
