TV Moms is a fun, informative, and fully illustrated guide to the evolving representation of motherhood on television, from June Cleaver to Murphy Brown.Throughout the years, the role of the mom on television, like that in real life, has undergone striking changes. In this new addition to our TV series, author Ray Richmond takes the reader decade by decade through the story of the television mom, starting in the fifties -- the decade of domestication, pearl necklaces, and vacuum cleaners -- through to the nineties' era of single and working moms.In brief essays, Richmond points out the unique motherly contributions of characters as diverse as Lucy Ricardo, Edith Bunker, Samantha Stevens, Lily Munster, Clair Huxtable, Rosanne Carter, and Livia Soprano. As well, each entry provides a handful of great Moments on the show, highlighting individual episodes that were key to that character. The fifty-plus moms profiled include both your favorites, and a few from off the beaten path (Mork from Mork and Mindy, My Mother the Car). TV Moms is the perfect gift for the Carol Brady -- or Peg Bundy -- in your life.
