Are These The Best TV Moms?
While you celebrate all the moms in your life this weekend, let’s also give some love to the TV moms who kept fictional families together through decades of chaos, bad decisions, awkward kids, and clueless husbands. The people over at Ranker are voting on the greatest TV moms of all time, and the list covers everything from classic black-and-white television to animated sitcom legends.
Here are the Top 10:
- Kitty Forman from That ’70s Show
- Moira Rose from Schitt’s Creek
- Morticia Addams from The Addams Family
- Sophia Petrillo from The Golden Girls
- Wilma Flintstone from The Flintstones
- Marge Simpson from The Simpsons
- Lucy Ricardo from I Love Lucy
- Samantha Stephens from Bewitched
- Carol Brady from The Brady Bunch
- Reba from Reba
Looking at the list, it’s pretty clear that every generation has its favorite TV mom. Some were nurturing, some were hilarious, some were sarcastic, and some could literally use magic to fix problems. But whether they lived in a cartoon town, a creepy mansion, or a suburban split-level house with shag carpet, they became part of pop culture history right alongside the families they helped survive.
In the process, they became Moms to us all, but nobody could replace the one who was there for us every day.
Love you, Mom!
