Mothers N- Law from Hell - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Now when I say that word, I am not referring to it in the profane sense. I mean Mother's N Law who were just down right awful. Vote on the poll and/or list one from television and share your comments.

TJ, Would you add Thelma Harper to the list?

I think Thelma would be a good mother in law if she liked you!

Mama Rules!

Definitely Endora! Doesn't know Darrin's name, turns him into things, always pops in at the wrong time....

Actually, my MIL is the worst. She makes the ones on the list look like Mother Theresa....

Janice · 02-02-2002, 02:51 AM

My choice for worst mother-in-law wasn't listed on the poll. Marie Barone from Everybody Loves Raymond takes the cake. She's manipulative, highly critical, intrusive, domineering, and worst of all, she lives across the street. Yikes!

twinkle44301 · 02-02-2002, 03:33 PM

Yes, Marie is an awful MIL. In fact, my husband can't watch the show because she reminds him too much of his mother (only she is worse,). There are times I have to turn the show off because Raymond-the-Spineless won't stand up to his mother. However, I guess if he told her to shut up and she did, it would be the end of the show!! LOL

It is a funny show, but Marie is what is wrong with this country. She knows no boundries and says what she wants, when she wants. She is a horrible influence on those little kids also! But, I still watch it everyweek, and some of the shows are a riot, but Marie is a piece of work. Dr. Phil would have a field-day with her!! LOL

Sometimes Darrin's mother was extremely cold towards Samantha on Bewitched, but Endora was wonderfully cruel to Dumb Dumb.

Any mother-in-law that can turn her son-in-law into a toad at a
blink of an eye gets my vote!!!!!

'Sides Agnes Moorhead was such a great actress.

Mother Jefferson has to be the worst ever. The exchanges between her and Weezy were so funny! But I was thinking Marie Barone also. She is not only a bad mother-in-law to Debra, but I feel so bad for Robert. It is sad the way she favors Raymond over him.

Marie Barone would have been my choice if she had been listed, so I chose Endora. Mother Jefferson in at number 3.
