Another vote for Laura Petrie
Clearly, nobody here watches Baskets.
I’m a Morticia fan also.
Yep. Conversation over.
No love for Betty Rubble?
Markie Post was a mom in the last few seasons of Night Court - I’ll vote her.
Tanya Roberts from That 70’s Show.
Raises hand.
Thread over in the third post.
Ahem. As a Modern. Non-Sexist Male and Father of Daughters I might find this thread offensive. OTOH, Laura Petrie? My daughters, 2/3 of them gay, would agree.
I raised 'em and they are the sexist swine their Dad is.
#5 for Morticia Addams.
We must nearly win the thread.
FTR, my ex pissed off Wife by her very existence and she offered to fuck her to death, just to spite her. I’m a nice guy. Wife was jealous.
Agreed!
So many good choices here.
Marilu Henner in Evening Shade.
I’ll nominate Michael Learned as most beautiful woman ever to be successfully frumped up as a TV mom.
I’ll nominate Mary-Louise Parker.
There are many good answers here I must comment on after I feed my kid, but even though I am a very strong supporter of the brunette, I have to nominate this beautiful creature:
Could not agree with this statement more.
Here is the thing though: I SHOULD find SV much more attractive, she is very much in my wheelhouse. But Julie Bowen (who I did not find all that attractive in her youth – Happy Gilmore) has a thing that makes me want to find a whole army to defeat just to prove I am worthy of her. Even though she is a bit past prime now, and some of her photos show it, to me she always looks like the smart lawyer on the “Denny Crane” show. That is a face I would love to see across a candle-lit table every date night for all time, and face I would love to see right before I fell asleep as I gently held her – and wake to every morning.
By contrast Sofia Vergara seems like she is just trying too hard; too overt or something. And her face seems like the result of a team of make-up artists.
Some years ago there was a Doper who had lost weight and, early on, I told her how she resembled Julie Bowen, who wasn’t famous. I’m a tool and hope she knows that I’m available. Alas, her husband was hotter than I.
