Guide to Spring TV Shows Featuring Moms

Michelle M. Guilbeau
The sitcoms have shared with us, the viewers some of the most memorable television Moms. Most of the time it is fun to watch the television Moms in action and some of the Spring TV shows this season are premiering Moms as a main characters, other sitcoms are airing their new episodes through the Spring season.

Jane (Cheryl Hines)

Rosemary (Megan Mullally)

In The Motherhood

ABC-Premiers Thursday, March 26- 7 pm Central Time

This new comedy will include the characters, Rosemary (Megan Mullally), Jane (Cheryl Hines) and Emily (Jessica St. Clair) as their role of Mother. The sitcom will focus on the role of Motherhood, work and love life while trying to manage all the areas efficiently and staying sane in a world that can be complicated and busy. The really interesting concept of this show is that the TV show stories will be inspired by real life stories of the viewers that post on the website.

Christine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus)

The New Adventures of Old Christine

CBS-Wednesday/8 pm Eastern Time

Christine is a divorced Mom who lives with her son Ritchie and her brother Matthew. Christine's ex-husband Richard who is Ritchie's father is around quite a bit in Christine's life but Richard has a girlfriend also named Christine. Hence the reason the divorced Christine is called "Old Christine".

This sitcom family is so funny to me because of all the absurd dynamics between the characters. Old Christine can be self-absorbed and obsessive at times, she has bad luck with relationships and even married her best friend Barb when Barb was possibly going to be deported. Each character seems to have their personal issues

The 4th season premiered in September and the TV show will consist of 22 episodes which will be airing through the Spring.

Joy(Jaime Pressly)

My Name is Earl

NBC-Thursday/7 pm Central Time

Earl (Jason Lee), Joy (Jaime Pressly), Randy (Ethan Suplee), Darnell (Eddie Steeples), Catalina (Nadine Velazquez)

Earl's quest to set all the wrongs he did in his life right makes for one of the funniest sitcoms I have watched. Earl and Joy are ex-spouses but Joy is now married to Darnell who is one of Earl's best friends, Earl and Darnell stayed best friends even though Darnell and Joy became pregnant while Joy was still married to Earl. Randy is Earl's younger brother and Catalina is married to Randy although their marriage is due to a green card issue. The interrelationships are enough to be funny! None of the family members are very bright but they all seem to manage to get by in life and seem to have a lot of fun along the way.

Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria Parker)

Desperate Housewives

ABC-Sunday/8 pm Central Time

Gabrielle has had a whirl wind of a life and in each season the character of Gabrielle continues to surprise me. I think Gabrielle's quick wise crack comments are hilarious. The way she gets herself in predicaments but seems to always manage to get through is funny in itself. Her character is so far fetched and extreme that I find it enjoyable to watch as my life does not near have the adventures as hers, luckily for me!

Cheryl (Courtney Thorne-Smith)

According to Jim

ABC-Tuesday/8 pm Central Time

Cheryl is hilarious with her comments, looks and reactions that she gives her husband Jim (Jim Belushi). Jim is constantly challenging Cheryl in a playful way and she puts up with his silly antics. I really enjoy the character Cheryl as she is able to balance being a mother, wife and having extended family members in the mix yet she still keeps her humor and charm.

The Spring TV shows featuring Moms will most likely bring us lots of laughs, television Moms may be fictional but I always have an admiration for the Mom even if she just a character on a sitcom!
