Anyone else notice that what with all the members of the Scooby Gang, none of them have any siblings?And they and all the other characters come from broken homes or 'absent' parents (see below), for them the Scooby Gang is a replacement family. I wonder how different it all would have been if they hadn't been only children and they're families hadn't been so dsyfunctional.
Buffy: parents divorced
Xander: parents constantly argue
Willow: parents ignore her very existence
Cordelia: parents too busy in foreign countries
Oz: parents didn't notice him not coming home three nights a month (or several months off round the world)
Giles: parents pressured him into becoming a Watcher
Wesley: father tyrannical
Faith: can't believe her parents were particularly commendable
Anya: parents looooong dead
Angel: parents 'tasted like chicken'
