Who is your favourite sitcom mother or female parental figure from the above list and why? Please vote and give your reasons here. :)

Sophia may not be the best mother in the traditional sense, but she's a good mother. She really does love Dorothy, as well as Rose and Blanche. Plus you can't beat her "Picture it, Sicily...." stories :lol:

Elyse Keaton, because she cared about her family very much. She had time for her kids and she loved them. Her kids came first and I think that's important. She also had a very good relationship with her husband which is important.


:clap: Ditto everything and the fact that she is very beautiful too!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elise Keaton

sophia, elise keaton annoys the sh*t out of me

sophia

monica... she was the one who made the dinners , celebrated the holidays and was the hostess.

I said Marion Cunningham.

Marion Cunningham!!

Everything about that show WAS EXCELLENT!!!!

How dare someone make a poll about "Favorite sitcom mother/mother figure" and not include Clair Huxtable? :mad:

What about Carol Brady? Or June Cleaver? I would vote for them, along with Marion Cunningham and Elyse Keaton and Claire Huxtable and Maggie Seaver and Angela Bower and Ellen Powell (and Julie Pembroke, for that matter- and Lillian) among my favorites.

Out of this list I chose Marion Cunningham, though my favorite is Margaret Anderson from Father Knows Best.

What about Carol Brady? Or June Cleaver?Man I forgot of those 2!!!!!! -- BOTH ARE EXCELLENT :)

I voted for Sophia but my favorite sitcom mom is Thelma Harper.

Vivian Banks from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

She may not have been an actual mother, but Aunt Bee from the Andy Griffith Show did the best mothering of them all!

I couldn't vote because to me the best was Edith Bunker. As far as the maternal aspect of the character goes, she had many great mother-daughter scenes with Gloria. And also some nice motherly moments with Mike. (She's the only one that thin-skinned Mike could never truly lose his temper with.) And while I know the 9th season gets a lot of criticism, there are some good moments between Edith and her niece Stephanie that year. Sure, Edith told incredibly long stories that often didn't have a point to them, but she always managed to see the good in everybody; and she obviously had an unlimited amount of patience - a necessity for being married to Archie and living in a house with so many loud arguments going on.

Marion Cunningham, she's best looking
