Who are your favourite TV mums?

[Tennyson]

Has anyone tried to put together a list of their top 10 TV mums? I can't think of any that I really like to watch at the moment.

[NaturalBlondeYeahRight]

I like the mum from Good Luck Charlie. No sappy ones for me. Only wish I had her balls.

[BunnyLebowski]

Lorelai Gilmore.

Hands down the best TV mum of all time.

[RedPencils]

Frankie Heck

I do like the Good Luk Charlie mum as well though

[ILikeToClean]

It's finished now but I loved Nora in Brothers & Sisters (played by Sally Field). She was my fave mum ever!

The mum of malcolm in the middle.

[Xmas2013MN7256]

Harriet Schulenberg from Green Wing :o

[OLittleTownOfBarflehem]

Frankie Heck and Claire Dunphy

[JeanSeberg]

Gail Platt

[Northumberlandlass]

Yup - Lois from Malcolm in the Middle shortly followed by Frankie Heck!!

[lisbapalea]

Gavin's mum from Gavin and Stacey.

[OLittleTownOfBarflehem]

I love Pam Shipman. I want to be her.

[Sparklingbrook]

The Mum from Good Luck Charlie is awful-really annoying.

[Yama]

In my teens I loved Roseanne. Specifically the line "I like having PMT, it's the only time I get to be myself".

She wasn't a good Mum though I must admit.

Petula Gordino

[Tennyson]

The problem is that most of these mums are in programmes that have finished, I haven't seen anyone recently that I like as much as Lorelai or Lois.

[DonkeysDontRideBicycles]

Ria from Butterflies
Lois from Malcolm In The Middle
Olivia from The Waltons
Birgitte from Borgen

Good question!

I like the mum in Malcolm in the Middle.

I think I'm most like the mum in charlie brown, just a droning voice in the background.

Ooh, and I also like the mum in Hebburn. The Estate Agent. She's cool.

[MortifiedAnyFuckerAdams]

1 - Mrs Cooper from The Big Bang Theory
2 - Mrs Hoffstaeder from The Big Bang Theory
3 - The mum from Modern Family

[Thisisaghostlyeuphemism]

How could we forget Marge - Best mum ever!

[MortifiedAnyFuckerAdams]

4 - Pam, from Gavin and Stacey

[ProfondoRosso]

YY to Lois from Malcolm in the Middle.

Also Roseanne. She might not have always made the right decisions, but I loved her relationship with her wee boy, DJ. You could tell they really connected in real life.

My all time favourite is Sophia from the Golden Girls. She reminds me so much of my mum: doesn't mince her words (more's the pity) and tells long-winded, fanciful tales to educate you. Her daughter Dorothy's response is one that goes through my head whenever my mum dispenses her wisdom: "Ma, that never happened."

Jill the mum in Home Improvement was excellent .

[Thisisaghostlyeuphemism]

Did anyone see the mum in 'fresh meat' this week?

She's not a favourite!

[Panzee]

Mona Simpson.
