On Sesame Street I remember Bert had a brother Bart, and a nephew Brad -- both of which have appeared.

Does Bert have any other brothers/sisters? Is Brad the son of Bart? Have we seen any other memebers of Bert's family?

i think Brad is Bart's son because there was an episode in the late 70s were Bet's outside showing everyone Brad and i think he said he was Bart's son. don't recall any other episodes about other family members.

Bert also used to make reference to an aunt (I believe it was "Aunt Matilda"?) I don't believe she was ever shown though.

I liked how Brad had red hair and had a voice just like Beaker. I like to imagine that's Beaker's son. :smile:

Actually, Brad made baby noises, in cute mumbling sounds. But it sounded like Richard Hunt did Brad. He sounded like Beaker, only Brad's voice was a little deeper.

And when Ernie brought out that toy shark, Brad starting screaming just like how Beaker screams. :eek:

Wow, this is strange. I have usually thought that Beaker looks like Bert.
