Pilar from **Passions**. It’s the only soap opera I watch, but at work (I work at a t.v. station) we have the other station’s programming up all the time so I see a lot, and I’m always amazed that soap operas, that are known for their “Beautiful people” are swarming with ugly, ugly people. But Pilar…ohhhh, mamasita, she is muy muy caliente!! Definitely the most attractive woman on that show, and the hottest t.v. mom around. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Oblong \* > \*\*Jim Belushi’s wife on “The world according to Jim”. I don’t know her name. \*\* The actress’ name is Courtney Thorne-Smith. (And speaking as a jealous ugly fat guy, it annoys and oppresses me to see ugly fat guys like Jim Belushi of _According to Jim_ and the guy from _King of Queens_ have such gorgeous TV wives!) As for my own choices, I’d also highly recommend the above-mentioned choices of Thorne-Smith, Heaton, Remini & Pleshette, and add two more name: Michael Landon as Olivia Walton on _The Waltons_ and Felicia (sp) Rashad as Clair Huxtable on _The Cosby Show_ ---

Today? Megyn Price, hands down, even though she is a blonde. All time? Dude, I’ve been in love with Suzanne Pleshette since I was 6 years old. Don’t make me make that choice. ---

When I was like eight or nine I saw some re-runs of The Dick Van Dyke Show on Nick at Nite. I thought Mary Tyler Moore was really pretty, and I was amazed that there were attractive people when TV was in black and white. ---

Joyce Summers, Buffy’s mom from **Buffy the Vampire Slayer** , played by Kristine Sutherland, was the hottest TV mom, up until they killed off her character. I can’t think of any of my current shows have moms in them. ---
