With Mother's Day coming up in less than a week, I started thinking about some of the OTHER moms that raised me. That's right, TV moms!
Top 5 TV moms:
1. Mrs. Cunningham, Happy Days. Mrs. C. was always fair, had a sweet spot for that bad boy Fonzie, and enjoyed getting "frisky" with Howard. Great role model!
2. Carol Brady, The Brady Bunch. There's plenty of time to be a supportive parent when you have a housekeeper who does all the work...and you're a stay-at-home mom!
3. Judy Miller, Still Standing. I may be the only person who ever watched this show. But Jami Gertz was the kind of mom I would have been if I had kids..still going to rock concerts, drinking beer, and occasionally pulling a scam on my own children.
4. Samantha Stevens, Bewitched. Wouldn't it be great to have a mom that wouldn't yell at you to clean your room..but would just wiggle her nose and do it for you?
5. Marge Simpson, The Simpsons. She always remembers Maggie's name, puts up with Bart, and has the most excellent tall blue hair the world has ever seen!
WORST TV MOM EVER: Ann Romano, from One Day at a Time. I know it wasn't easy for her, raising Julie and Barbara on her own..but all that woman did was bitch, for nine straight seasons! I'm pretty sure Bonnie Franklin's incessant nagging is what caused all those problems for Mackenzie Phillips.
Happy birthday to the Cute Beatle, SIr Paul McCartney! He turns 71 today.
One of the rules for Beatles fans is that you must memorize tidbits of Beatle trivia to try and impress other Beatle fans. This is not that easy to do....as things like...
In 1968, Jeannie C. Riley topped both the pop and country charts with "Harper Valley PTA". She was the first female singer to accomplish that feat and it wasn't repeated until Dolly Parton did it in 1981 with the song "9 to 5". The song was...
This week we're doing story songs on the World's Worst iPod. We start with the story of Billy who really wanted to be a hero. He was a hero, but didn't live to see it and his girlfriend was pretty angry. The song was originally done by...
This week' s Gabby's Pick is another track from emerging artist ZZ Ward's debut album , called "365 Days."
In addition to all the radio airplay " Put The Gun Down" has received, you may also have heard her music on several television...
Apparently Oreo flavored Oreos are not sufficient.
Nabisco is continuing its trend of introducing special limited edition flavors for its Oreo cookies. Last year, the internet was all abuzz about candy corn Oreos, which supposedly didn't really...
One small detail I like about Bonnaroo ... the security people's shirts say "Safety" and "Here to help". They seem well-trained and they do the things security folk do ... but I like the emphasis on safety and that they're doing these things...
