Default MY Worst Sitcom Mother Award of All Time goes to..............

Clair Huxtable. Maybe it was the acting skills of Phyilicia Rashad. It was something about that character that was very UNUSUAL.

No one give me any slack for this, because it's just my opinion, but Lucy Ricardo.

My definition of a good mother does not mean a woman who constantly leaves her son with a babysitter so she can go off in pursuit of stupid, fruitless schemes.

I kinda agree.... she was never with her baby. She's still one of the greatest TV characters in history though

Here is the worse sitcom mom award:
Carla Tortelli, Cheers. Very bad example as a mom. I need to say no more. Anyone who watches Cheers would see it for themselves.

Lucy wasn't the Mother of the Year, but she wasn't as bad as Peg Bundy or Clair Huxtable.

Without a doubt, Maude Findley from the tv series Maude. She was the worst in my opinion because she made the decision to have an abortion. It seemed like killing an innocent life was not as important as say politics in her views of things.

I am sick of you putting Maude down. Maude was old during the pregnancy, what if the baby would have had health problems. She wanted what was best for the child, she didn't want the child to suffer.

I'll have to cast the third vote (so far!) for Peg Bundy.
