Charlies Sheen mum in 2nad half man. No contest. Funniest mum in tv. Interesting fact about that........ Blythe Danner ( Gwyneth Paltrow's mom, btw) was actually chosen as the first "Evelyn Harper", but when she came off as too warm and nurturing, was quickly replaced by Holland Taylor, who OBVIOUSLY didn't have that same 'problem' !!  SAVE FERRIS

Misses Robinson (The Graduate) was certainly the hottest film mom. Horrible mom but a great role and an amazing actress. I like her a lot.

I considered adding a poll, but it would have been a long one, and I couldn't have gotten every iconic mother possible. So, who is it and why? I will reveal mine at the end. TV Mom (I have 2): Carole Brady & Elise Keaton. Movie Mom: Molly Weasley.

Clair Huxtable (Phylicia Rashad) on The Cosby Show. Classy kind person that for me anyway, is untainted by the late unpleasantness associated with her costar. Debra Barone (Patricia Heaton) on Everybody Loves Raymond. Admittedly, mainly because Heaton was a complete MILF since her character is a horrible human being. Agreed, she's also my favorite.

I considered adding a poll, but it would have been a long one, and I couldn't have gotten every iconic mother possible. So, who is it and why? I will reveal mine at the end. Well, it will be Mother's Day real soon. I was surprised by the huge range of mothers mentioned; I guess I should have watched more television over the years! And I am stunned that not one of you mentioned June Cleaver from Leave it to Beaver, lol. So, my choices... Phylicia Rashad is one; she always was so genuine in her affection for her kids. And she had a great sense of humor. Another TV mom is June Lockhart in Lassie; you are right, Sulla , she did love animals. So do I, as you well know! And Charlie Sheen's mom in Two and a Half Men gets the snarkiest, funniest award for certain. On to the movies... Sally Field has played so many moms, from Murphy's Romance to Steel Magnolias to Forrest Gump, each one different, but each one so fiercely protective of her child. But her best role as a mother was, I think, in Places in the Heart, a Depression-era saga of pure survival mode, after her husband was killed, and she had to save the farm and her kids. She was also a mom in Mrs. Doubtfire, but she was out-mommed by her co-star, Robin Williams, who became Mrs. Doubtfire, just so he could still be a larger part of his children's life after his separation from her. He went to an all-time extreme, just to be with his kids. His drive to do whatever it took, and his quirky character Mrs. Doubtfire, who became a TV mom in the end, was so genuine and caring... Well, he was the ultimate caring parent. So, my all-time favorite is Mrs. Doubtfire.  Well, here is the link: www.imdb.com/title/tt0107614/mediaviewer/rm230647552

On film, Morticia Addams... She's dark, sexy and completely devoted to Gomez.  On TV, Maxine Summers from WILDSIDE. A single mum who was an MD who ran an inner-city community crisis centre.

Ill be sticking to movies since general TV programs on the major networks pretty much suck... Vera Farmiga in Running Scared (2006) ; that 'pedophile scene' (that's not as bad as it sounds as those who have seen this will know what I am talking about) is great. I like the character and Vera in general is always the best bet for me since she's The Anomaly  p.s. looking through all of my favorite movies there is not many more to choose from even though there are some, but I won't list the others for now. |

Ya' beat me to it. Morticia rules!
Worthy of honorable mention, as she's called mother alright, yet so far as the viewer can tell bar owner Mother on Peter Gunn has no real life children. If she ever mentioned that she was married I never heard of it. I much prefer the Amazonian Hope Emerson to the shorter and yet no less distinctive Minerva Urecal on that show, though Minerva was a more than adequate replacement.
