    I don't recall one way or the other off hand.

    On the one hand I wouldn't mind a brother of Den's - someone to carry on the Watts name; on the other i'm not too sure. The Watts were such a great family; but one of their chief characteristics was their insularity and incestuousness, that was evident right from the beginning. And they are the only family to have all great characters in it, I'd hate for that to be ruined and I just don't think the show is capable of writing such dynamic characters anymore. It is probably better to keep on with the also-rounds like the Mitchells, Brannings, and jacksons until the show can demonstrate it is capable of handling more sophisticated characters. Then may be the time to revisit the Watts.

    Even then, part of me still thinks that, alas, the Watts are best left in the past unless Sharon is involved somehow.
