The original crew didn't really have families though did they?
Hell, half of them didn't even have first names till the movies.
Spock had parents, and every time we found a relative of Kirk, they ended up dying.
Besides we can't really complain about Sulu having a daughter when that happened in the original timeline too.

In TOS? Sure they did. Kirk had a brother, for example.
If only someone, ANYONE knew that detail when making Star Trek V.

The line references Spock, not Sam, as Sam didn't come back. Now if Kirk had said he lost two brothers, and got one back...
But such continuity errors are common. In an early MASH episode Hawkeye closes a letter to has dad with "Kiss mom for me", but in a later episode he tells Charles that his mom died when he was a boy. It happens.

It references them both.
Spock had assumed Kirk was talking about Sam, and you could see Shatner looking sad as he mentioned his brother, then when he mentioned about getting him back, that is when it became about Spock.
Mentioning two brothers would have just muddied the waters.
Shatner might not remember every aspect of the tv show, but considering he went out of his way to insist on playing Sam himself for the two second reveal shot, the fact that Kirk had a brother is probably something he would remember,

Or Margaret in one MASH episode mentioning a look on her father right before he died, and later we meet her father.
However in this case I fully believe the line was to show how Spock meant more to Kirk than Sam.
And we wouldn't want to muddle the sacred waters that was Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
But just one more point. For a film that spends a good amount of time explaining why Spock all of a sudden has a brother, it is disappointing that it doesn't give one single mention to Kirk's brother who actually existed. Also, the comic book and the novel adaptations rectify both.
Also, thanks for the link Willie. No amount of Walgreens picture frame shopping will ever replace the fun spirited entity that is Molly.
Oh, so is the JJ Verse acknowledging canon here? LOL That's a first.
