Happy Mother’s Day! Our top 6 favorite TV moms

It’s Mother’s Day in the United States this fine Sunday. And while we’re quite appreciative of our own, real-life mothers, we can’t help but mention some of the great moms that currently takeover our television screens. So we thought we’d list a few of our favorite television moms and why we love them so much.

Tami Taylor

Friday Night Lights

“She is absolute perfection.”
—Leigh

Piper Halliwell

Charmed

“When Piper had Wyatt and Chris, she was ready to do anything to protect them, even if it means giving up magic. Plus, she’s pretty badass. Oh, I miss Charmed!”
—Heba

Nancy Botwin

Weeds

“Yeah, she’s a drug dealer but she’s a badass mom who loves her kids. I actually think it’s really cool she’s a drug dealer. In a weird way, it shows she cares about her kids so much that she will do anything to make a living.”
—Brianna

Catelyn Tully Stark

Game of Thrones

“She’s a proud, strong, intelligent, kind woman. She’s a woman with honor. Family is everything for her, and she’ll be willing to do anything to get her girls back. Actually she is willing to do anything for her children. She stays strong even after losing her husband.”
— Guinevere

Ashley Marin

Pretty Little Liars

“I’m choosing her because she did everything for her daughter. I mean, she robbed a bank so they’d have money and she was looking for who A is (together with Aria’s mom)! She’s awesome and from far the best mom on that show.”
—Camila

Marge Simpson

The Simpsons

“Marge is the perfect mother: sweet, caring, sometimes clueless but always well-meaning, has a sense of humor, and is devoted to her family — even if her children are a bit careless and apathetic. She’ll always greet you with a warm smile and that iconic hoarse laugh…23 years and counting.”
—Michael

  • Piper is my favorite TV mom too, she was an absolute perfect character in that sense. I actually loved the family part of that show, my favorite growing up.

    • I really thought Lorelai Gilmore would have made the list too :( She is definitely my favorite...or Karen Roe (OTH) would have made a good addition too.

    • Lol, obviously you dont watch it, i jus realised it was people who voted. Mea culpa. But, yeh, the picture is wrong;p peace

  • I was pleasantly surprised to see Piper on the list. She deserves her spot: she was one of the best female characters on TV, juggling her daily duties with demon-hunting. She is still on my list of best female characters.
