 We've seen a unique range of TV moms over the years, from the snarky Roseanne to the smart Angela Bower to the happy-go-lucky Norma Arnold.So, in honor of all the things mothers do for us—and in the spirit of Mother's Day—TiVo released its results of an independent survey that ranked the top twenty TV moms of all time.
The survey asked TV fans to rank their favorite five TV moms from a list of twenty past and present stars. A TiVo panel of TV experts tallied the results, with a clear winner: The Cosby Show's Clair Huxtable, with 58 percent of the votes.
"First of all, she was a real human being. She was a devoted wife and mother with a great sense of humor and a definite awareness of her own self," said Phylicia Rashad, who played Clair. "People look to the mother as the embodiment of the family. She was the mother that children love, that husbands adore, and that women want to be."
Check out who else made the list, after the jump.
