I actually meant sibs who were on different series; I've amended the title to reflect that. But you reminded me:

 

The Sweetins

Tia and Tamara were on a show together but each has gone on to do other shows without the other.

There are other siblings who have been regulars but at different times Angela and Veronica Cartwright

for example. The Travoltas John as a teen and his sister as Chachi's mother on the shows with which he was involved.

Similarly Charlie and Jerry O'Connell. They were on shows together and separately.

Lani O'Grady (1954-2001), who played Mary Bradford, the eldest sister on Eight is Enough, was the younger sister of Don Grady (1944-2012), Robbie Douglas on My Three Sons. Their real surname was Agrati. Lani died of a drug overdose at 46. Don died of bone cancer at 68.

Leif Garrett (sadly, more famous as a teen idol and a drug addict than as an actor) had a recurring role of Zack Russell on the series Family, played the role of Leonard Unger, the son of Felix Unger, on the ABC series The Odd Couple (a part previously played by Willie Aames) and in late 1975 appeared in a 12-week CBS drama series, Three for the Road with Alex Rocco.

 

His sister is Dawn Lyn who played Dodie Douglas in the later seasons of My Three Sons.

 

Their given names are Leif Per Nervik and Dawn Lyn Nervik.

Kristy McNichol won two Emmys playing Buddy Lawrence on Family, and was later one of the stars of Empty Nest. Her brother Jimmy McNichol had a role on the CBS show The Fitzpatricks (1977-78) and then on California Fever (also on CBS, in 1979), before playing Josh Clayton on General Hospital (1984-85).
