Ah, those mothers from television who by proxy, raised a couple of generations of kids. Some were perfect home makers, some were working mums who helped dad put food on the table and others were raising their kid(s) by themselves. We had divorced mothers, step mothers, foster mums. There were the kind and loving mothers, the funny sarcastic mothers, the sexy mums, one particularly evil one and the just plain weird mums. Whoever they were, some of them became television icons & for that reason, I have listed them in the character names, not the actresses who played them.
