I wonder if Endora from Bewitched gets any votes?

Oh never mind, I see someone did vote for her!!

MA · 04-25-2018, 06:58 PM

I voted for Aunt Bea.

MISST3 · 04-25-2018, 09:01 PM

Mrs. June Cleaver - Hands Down!!

TV Guy · 04-25-2018, 09:09 PM

Aunt Bee wasn’t a mother - she was childless.

Frankie Heck is horrendously self-centered.

Annie Camden is a shrewish, judgemental b*tch.

June Cleaver is a cold fish.

I love Marion Cunningham, but she seemed a bit spacey and out-of-touch with reality.

I’d have to vote for Kate Bradley and Shirley Partridge, who were both warm and sensible and down-to-earth.

Casting a write in vote for Natalie Lane (Patty Duke Show). Kinda surprised she, Carol Brady, or Margaret Anderson didn't make the list.

OH Nuts! · 04-26-2018, 10:57 PM

I voted for Kate Bradley. One of my all time favorite characters

MA · 04-27-2018, 05:42 AM

Wish I could’ve changed my vote, but oh well.
