Mother's Day Card - futurama

Welcome to the Friday Five! Each week I help you get to know me a bit better a little better with the help of a top five list. This week’s category: Fictional Moms.

What with Mother’s Day being this weekend, this week I’m picking my favorite Fictional Moms. Most of them are actually horrible when it comes to mothering, but that doesn’t make them any less entertaining. In fact, it’s probably just the opposite.

  1. Marge SimpsonThe Simpsons
  2.  

  3. Liane CartmanSouth Park – She counts right, even if she’s a hermaphrodite?
  4.  

  5. Norma ArnoldThe Wonder Years – If Jack Arnold was the TV dad most like my own, I have to include his wife here on the mom list.
  6.  

  7. Carol BradyThe Brady Bunch – When you think TV family, you have to think “Brady Bunch”
  8.  

  9. Estelle CostanzaSeinfeld – The quintessential “Jewish Mother”

 

Marge Simpson from The Simpsons


is the proud owner of a life size replica Captain Kirk Chair. He is a hoarder of Comic Books, Transformers, and Star Trek action figures. He attended Space Camp as an adult. He has taken vacations to the closing of the Star Trek Experience and the final night Shuttle launch. He has been known to yell at his television when the kids can't put together the damn statue in the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. When not writing for InsufficientScotty, he is a Software Engineer for a major healthcare communications company.
