Gimme A Break! and Leave It To Beaver are also on my "to watch lists". I just started revisiting Night Court, having just picked up the first season last week.
I actually prefer Bev to Nana Mary. I think Estelle Parsons nailed that role. Also, Sally Struthers as Bill Addy's needy mom on Still Standing. They both nailed the part of wonderfully irritating mother perfectly.
Oh here's one I forgot: Shovel-weilding Old Man Marley in Home Alone. Had to put up with all those false rumors that he was a serial killer. Turns out he was a nice guy who saved Kevin from the Wet Bandits. The part at the end where he reconciles with his family always gets me choked up.
