" Mother&amp;#039;s Day is one time of year when we unabashedly celebrate all things Mom. From making us dinner to teaching us important life lessons, is there anything that mothers don&amp;#039;t do? And while there&amp;#039;s no guidebook to perfect parenting, there are certain qualities that make a mother stand out from the crowd. Here, we&amp;#039;ve rounded up our 10 favorite moms from the tube. From the no-nonsense Clair Huxtable to the futuristic Jane Jetson, this list will have you celebrating the mightiest moms in all of TV history.   Character: Debra Barone Actress: Patricia Heaton  Sitcom: Everybody Loves Raymond Anyone who can deal with in-laws who live across the street, a husband who does next to nothing around the house and three rambunctious kids (including twin boys!) is sure to get our vote for top mom. Debra was a tough-as-nails mom who may not have been the best cook on the block, but she stood up for herself and passed good values on to her children\u2014even against all odds.

She was a bit of a Renaissance mom; in addition to the typical household responsibilities, she was also a sculptor, writer, singer and political activist\u2014showing her daughters there&amp;#039;s nothing a woman can&amp;#039;t do. Photo: Retna   Character: Clair Huxtable Actress: Phylicia Rashad Sitcom: The Cosby Show As the working mother of an ever-growing Brooklyn brood, Clair Huxtable is one of the classiest women on this list. Despite all the stress she encountered as an established attorney in New York City, she somehow managed to always have a witty joke and valuable life lessons for her kids and husband, Cliff. Photo: Retna   Character: Jane Jetson Actress (voice): Penny Singleton Sitcom: The Jetsons  &amp;quot;Jane his wife,&amp;quot; might have been at the end of The Jetsons theme song, but Jane will always be our favorite thing about the popular animated show. Though she only had to press a button for dinner to appear, she was a devoted mom to Judy and Elroy, and a member of The Galaxy Women Historical Society\u2014a true woman of the future. Photo: Retna   Character: Norma Arnold Actress: Alley Mills Sitcom: The Wonder Years  This mother of three was a true mediator between her free-spirited kids and their traditional father. The all-American mom set the bar high by going back to college to finish her degree before landing a job with Micro Electronics\u2014definitely not the norm for a 1960s housewife.

Her strength shone through especially bright when she juggled her family responsibilities with trying to find a new job\u2014a true test of motherhood. Photo: Retna   Character: Tami Taylor Actress: Connie Britton Sitcom: Friday Night Lights  As the football coach&amp;#039;s wife, the principal of Dillon High School and mother of two girls, Tami Taylor has a lot on her plate. However, she always seems to be in the right place at the right time, soothing the coach or offering sage advice to her students under the watchful eyes of those who reside in the small Texas town. Photo: Retna   Character: Elyse Keaton Actress: Meredith Baxter Sitcom:Family Ties  This former hippie was a mother to four kids while juggling her work-from-home career as an architect. She always had an easy smile and tried to keep hold of the liberalism of the &amp;#039;60s while living in the conservative fervor of 1980s America. Photo: Retna   Character: Laura Petrie Actress: Mary Tyler Moore Sitcom: The Dick Van Dyke Show  This beloved stay-at-home mom did all of the cooking, cleaning and laundry while raising son Ritchie. She also started the capri pants craze of the 1960s and kept her home a happy place by constantly consoling her TV show producer husband through his weekly mishaps. Photo: Retna   Character: Donna Stone Actress: Donna Reed Sitcom: The Donna Reed Show Donna Stone may have seemed like the typical 1950s housewife, but she shared an especially affectionate relationship with her husband\u2014the portrayal of which was unusual for the times. Her picture-perfect family included kids Mary and Jeff, and her role as a nurse and community organizer kept her busy outside the home as well.
