Even though Mother’s Day is celebrated on different days throughout the world, tomorrow is that big day for a lot of countries. The modern Mother's Day is celebrated most commonly in March, April, or May as a day to honor mothers and motherhood.
In honor of this special occasion, I have put together a list of some of the best moms that have ever graced ours televisions now and as we were all growing up.
Television moms are usually loved in the sense that you would love that your own mother had some traits of your favorite character on TV. I admit that the most kickass mom in existence is my own mother for numerous reasons, but I am a little biased about this. When it comes to TV, there are several characters that, as I was a kid or a teenager (even now, really) I truly wished existed in real life. Those kinds of moms that you really just wanted to get some advice from or be comforted by or just plain hug them and feel better.
The moms that made this list aren’t exactly what we can call perfect mothers. They are flawed, they make mistakes, they can be ruthless, they can be caring, but above all, they love their children with everything they have. While that doesn’t make them perfect – and really, I don’t think any TV fan likes a perfect character – it makes them real and that’s what makes us love them so much. They screw up, they yell at their kids, they work too much, but deep down, we can always recognize our own mothers in those characters, which just connects us with them even more.
So to honor those fantastic characters and our own moms, I present to you the best TV mothers.
Happy Mother’s Day!

Great list, Luciana. I think Loelei is my favourite- she's especially the mom I wish I *had* been.
