My 10 Favorite TV Moms

With Mothers day right around the corner, what better way to honor the women who gave us life by counting down my favorite TV moms.  These arent necessarly the BEST moms on television, but they are my favorite and the ones that entertain me the most


10. Gemma Teller Morrow, Sons Of Anarchy - Anytime a mom can have a grown son in a biker gang and still be a sexy, bad ass, gun toting outlaw, count me in.

9. Livia Soprano, The Sopranos -  "It's all a big nothing."  And that's indicative of Livia Soprano's view on life.  She made her family's life miserable, and we were riveted. 

8.  Carol Brady, The Brady Bunch -  She made blended families look easy and allowed people to escape into a fantasy world of astro-turf lawns and talent shows.

7. Lois Griffin, Family Guy -  Lois Griffin has one of the most difficult TV jobs as the wife of Peter, someone who traded a boat for a mystery box.

6. Lucille Bluth, Arrested Development - She wasn't exactly a warm and cozy gramma.  She cheated on her husband, pinned crimes on her children, and did whatever she could to get her hands on money.  And we wouldn't have it any other way.

5. Estelle Costanza, Seinfeld - While always with good intentions, she often spends her time yelling back and forth with her son and husband, or inadvertently humiliating them both

4. Marion Cunningham, Happy Days - Marion takes us back to simpler times where a good meal and sound advice can solve any crisis in under 30 minutes.

3. Marge Simpson, The Simpsons - . Constantly dealing with her donut eating husbands shenanigans, Bart’s trouble making and Lisa just being Lisa, Marge has her work cut out for her, but she manages to add humor and a sense of pride into every episode.

2. Peggy Bundy, Married With Children -  Katey Sagal's second entry on this list. hether she is feeding her neighbor Marcy a cigarette butt or trying to get Al to have sex with her or not feeding her children, she is always good for a few laughs.

1. Tami Taylor, Friday Night Lights - Balancing her roles as wife of a small-town football coach, high school guidance counselor and mother to a whip-smart, independent teen daughter, Tami is the rock of tiny Dillon, Texas, with every smidgen of her deep love and frustration evident in her motherly eyes
