We were talking about the “hot wife/goofy dad” stereotype in another CS thread. It got me wondering who do you think was the most attractive TV mom? My vote is Natalie Lane from the “Patty Duke Show”, played by Jean Byron.
Sofia Vergara on Modern Family
Donna Reed!
Laura Petrie. We’re done here.
I haven’t given it a lot of thought, but the first name to spring to my mind was Elyse Keaton (from Family Ties).
Morticia Addams.
Eva Longoria on Desperate Housewives or January Jones on Mad Men. I’ve never seen a mom like either one in real life!
Anna “Christy” Faris. Hubba-hubba! :o
Do cartoons count? Queen Miranda on Sofia the First.
Samantha Stevens
I don’t watch the show, but agree! Of course, there are a few on the tele-novelas on the Spanish channels that would win for me, but don’t know their names.
Charming. That still leaves me Wilma Flintstone and Rachel Green.
Yeah.
I was scrolling down that page and thought “she carries an awful lot of candelabras, doesn’t she?”
I second (third?) Sofia Vergara. One of the most beautiful women on TV, period.
I always had a thing for Courtney Thorne-Smith of According to Jim. Not sure if her character was a mom, as I seldom watched that dumb show, but she was hot.
I see I’m going to be in the minority here, but Ms. Vergara does nothing for me. I’m sure she’s a nice person and all that. Not my type.
Her co-star, Julie Bowen, is much more to my taste.
Keri Russell as Elizabeth Jennings on The Americans.
1)Laura Petrie
2) Morticia Addams.
All of the ‘Desperate Housewives’ had their moments, beautiful hair, clothes, and slim figures. Patricia Heaton on ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ had her occasional moments, when she actually did seem to be ‘too pretty’ for Raymond, as his mother once said… January Jones (‘Mad Men’) was a lousy mother but channeled all her unhappiness into staying ‘perfect’ as a trophy wife was supposed to be.
Yup! She had a habit of playing waaaaay-to-hot for the schlub she was with on TV.
