'To celebrate Mother's Day, lets take a look at some TV moms with whom we marked the most Mother's Days together:
24 SEASONS Marge Simpson, 'The Simpsons' (1989-) -- Isn't it amazing how our blue-haired, beehived fave never gets old? (Neither do her kids, Bart, Lisa and Maggie, for that matter.)
14 SEASONS Harriet Nelson, 'The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet' (1952-66) -- The former big band vocalist played a version of her real self, mother of Ricky and David, wife of Ozzie.
12 SEASONS Lucy Carter/Lucy Carmichael (Lucille Ball), 'The Lucy Show'/'Here's Lucy' (1962-74) -- In her first show following "I Love Lucy," Ball played a widow with two children. When the show's title (and locale) changed in 1968, Ball's real-life offspring, Desi Arnaz Jr. and Lucie Arnaz, replaced the actors playing the original kids.
11 SEASONS Marion Cunningham (Marion Ross), 'Happy Days' (1974-1984) -- The tireless "Mrs. C" -- mom to Richie, Joanie and the little-seen Chuck -- was the only character on the show who called Fonzie by his real name, Arthur.
Louise Jefferson (Isabel Sanford), 'The Jeffersons' (1975-85) -- Lionel's levelheaded mom was perhaps the only person in New York (besides Florence) who could put George Jefferson in his place.
Peg Bundy (Katey Sagal), 'Married With Children' (1987-1997) -- The first TV mom who was clearly not a role model for her children.
10 SEASONS Edith Bunker (Jean Stapleton), 'All in the Family' (1971-80) -- Even her meathead son-in-law called her "Mom."
