My impression is, that in sitcom families with more than one child, the first child is almost always female (unless all children are male). Married with children, Roseanne, Bill Cosby, ALF, Grounded for life, My family. Just a few, that come to my mind right away. Am I right, that writers of this genre prefer older sisters and/or avoid older brothers? Could there be a trope behind this?
[Edit:] I just saw, this question is better suited for Trope Finder. I'll repost it there. Maybe someone could remove this one, and sorry.
