THURSDAY'S THEORY OF RELATEEVEETY - THE TUPPER BROTHERS

Our theory of relateeveety this Thursday is a showcase for the Tupper Brothers.  Michael "Mickey" Tupper and his twin brother (whose first name we don't know) were born in the late 1920s in New York City area.  

Mickey married Doris and had two children, Martin and Susan.  But years after their kids had grown up and begun lives of their own, Mickey and Doris separated and began new lives of their own.  Doris began a relationship with an old friend named Harry but suffered a heart attack during their lovemaking and soon after died.  Meanwhile Mickey began to explore his sexuality with his roommate Roger.

Mickey's brother also married and they moved to Florida where they raised two daughters, Cheryl and Becky.  (Cheryl eventually married Larry David and moved to Hollywood.)  The family was quite religious which caused several problems for Larry over the years.

It might seem strange that we don't know the name of Martin Tupper's uncle, Mickey's twin brother, but there are a lot of TV characters whose names we never learned, like Dr. R. Quincy.  (Lt. Columbo used to be on that list, but with high definition TV and the ability to freeze frame, we know his first name was Frank.  It can be seen right on his police ID.)
