Happy Mothers Day to all of the mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and even those mothers to be. (Did I miss anyone?)
Over the years, we've loved TV mothers, i.e. all of those "mom" characters that we grew up watching.
Here is my list:
1) Mrs Cleaver in "Leave it to Beaver". Barbara Billingsley died in late 2010. She will forever be Beaver's mom and one of the most endearing characters in TV history.
Frankly, didn't Mrs Cleaver remind you of your mom?
2) Mrs Ingalls of "Little House in the Prairie". She was just great. This is a show about the "frontier mother", the courageous woman of the frontier.
3) On a more hilarious note, let me add Mrs Adams of "The Adams Family". Wasn't Mrs Morticia Adams just hilarious? Doesn't every mother have a bit of Mrs Adams in her personality?
"They're creepy and they're kooky,Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Addams Family.
Their house is a museum Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scream The Addams Family.
(Neat) (Sweet) (Petite)
So get a witches shawl on A broomstick you can crawl on
We're gonna pay a call on The Addams Family."

Again, we salute all of the mothers today.
We hope that they all have a lovely day.
P.S. This is still my favorite "mom song". This is BJ Thomas and "Mama":
"Who's the one who tied your shoe when you were young
And knew just when to come and see what you had done?
Mama, oh mama
And who's the one who patched your eye and told you not to cry
'cause he was too big for you to try?
Mama, ma-a-ma
And who's the one you didn't need to plead
To give her time to the little league?
It was mama, oh, ma-a-a-ma-a-a
And who's the one who gave her shoulder
When you told her your first love was over she'd met someone older
Mama, mama
It was mama, my mama
Mama
Who's the one who taught you obligation then dedication result graduation?
Mama, mama
And who's the one who's shown the friends you've known
A home away from home when they were tired and all alone?
Mama, mama
And who's the one who held a tear inside
When you introduced your future bride?
And who's the one who didn't mean to cry
As you walked down the aisle, the tears you saw her smile
Mama, oh, mama...."
