Looking Back: Our Favorite TV Moms

The moms in our favorite television shows over the years have reminded us that there is nothing like a mother's love. Like our own mamas, they have made us laugh until it hurts, cry tears of joy, and open our hearts to love. One of our favorite moms, Clarice Taylor who played Anna Huxtable on "The Cosby Show," passed away last week. As Clif Huxtable's mom, she was stern, funny, and loving- all the qualities that a good mama embodies. In her loving memory, we are reflecting on our favorite TV moms of all time.
