The Top 10 All-Time Worst Moms on TV

Written by celeste

Just in time for Mother’s Day – Everything you’re glad your mother ISN’T! Some of the mothers in our favorite tv shows are downright mean, others just let their kids run wild. Whether they’re ignoring their kids, nagging them, or simply failing to teach their children the valuable life lessons a parent should be teaching, these moms are just missing that special something. Here’s our list of the Top Ten Worst Mothers on Television.

#10: Estelle Costanza – Seinfeld

She is the root of most of George’s problems in life. Her screechy voice alone earns her a high spot on this list just for being so hard on the ears. How could George have survived that growing up?
Her favorite pastime is yelling at her husband and her son and she’s inadvertently humiliated them many, many times. In fact, George is both annoyed and humiliated by her very existence. Estelle might just be the most annoying mom on TV.

#9: Shirley Partridge – The Partridge Family

The Partridge Family – Stars of stage, television and nightclubs? Taking these kids out on tour in a psychedelic bus is just asking for problems. What is she thinking?

#8: Mona – Who’ The Boss

Angela’s man-crazed mother in Who’s the Boss is one of the most slyly wicked mothers on TV. Her condescending attitude and evil intentions towards Tony are enough to make us glad she wasn’t in one of our homes growing up.

#7: Peg Bundy – Married with Children

She smokes non-stop, she doesn’t cook, and she trades insults constantly with the Dad who could top the list for Worst Dad on TV, Al Bundy. Basically, she does everything mothers aren’t supposed to do.

#6: All of the Mothers on Captian Planet

What are these moms doing while their kids are running around playing with rings that create fire, hurricane force winds and earthquakes? And why do they let their kids hang out with a guy who can get knocked out with a dirty puddle?
These mothers’ main flaw is simply their absence.

#5: Endora - Bewitched

Endora is, quite literally, a witch. Nosy. Meddling. Bordering-on-evil. Unlike some of the mothers on this list, she often seems to have her daughter’s best interests at heart – but that doesn’t mean she’s any less dangerous!
Her daughter Samantha may prefer to wiggle her nose to get the housework done quick and lend a helping hand to her husband, but Endora prefers to sneak around and cause as much trouble as possible. And when gets going on one of her schemes, watch out!
Even her own brother said “When I think of you as a blood relative, I long for a transfusion.” Ouch!

#4: Roseanne – Roseanne

By far, Roseanne is not the kindest mother out there. She likes to teach lessons the hard way. As if her teenage kids don’t have enough to deal with, they have to come home to her insults.
There’s no hope for kind motherly words of wisdom and hot homemade cooking with Roseanne.

#3: Lucille Bluth – Arrested Development

Stealing company money while in the midst of an affair with her husband’s brother. Not the best example in terms of teaching morals to your kids. Her behavior pales in comparison to her husband’s deals with Sadam, but still . . .

#2: Mom – Futurama

She leads companies including Mom’s Friendly Robot Co., Mom’s Friendly Drug Factories and Mom’s Friendly Advanced Weapon & Munitions Co., and then she heads home to abuse her three sons. It doesn’t get much worse than Mom.

#1: Kenny’s mom – South Park

She obviously didn’t teach him manners, and she can’t stop the trash talk either. They biggest problem here though is how she just keeps letting him get killed - over and over and over again.
