Mother's Day: Desperate Housewives

With Mother's Day being this Sunday, I just want to wish all the moms out there a happy Mother's Day. This has been a great holiday to find television specials for. If you have missed some along the way check out our Mother's Day page.

Desperate Housewives Season 4 Episode 15 "Mother Said"


Edie finds out that Benjamin is not Bree's son but really her daughter, Danielle's. Edie uses this information to blackmail Bree. Edie wants to be invited to parties and the weekly poker game. She wants Bree to treat her like a best friend. Bree can only handle so long and tells Gaby, Lynette and Susan the truth. They storm Edie's house and tell her she has gone too far and are no longer her friend.

Susan's mother-in-law comes to town. She wants to help Susan with cooking and the house because Mike has been complaining to her. When Susan asks Mike to stop complaining to his mom, he says that she is just trying to help. Susan uses club soda to fake her water breaking to get out of lunch with Mike and his mom.

Lynette and Tom get help from a family counselor after Tom's daughter, Kayla gets Preston to jump off the roof. The doctor tells Lynette to spend more time alone with Kayla but that only leads to Lynette slapping Kayla after Kayla threats Penny. During Mother's Day breakfast, Kayla calls doctor and tells him that Lynette has been hitting her.

The full episode is available on hulu plus or Netflix instant watch.

Weren't we all excited when Joey Lawrence and his brothers got their own show? Actually I had forgotten about the 2 season show until I found this clip. Well, it was over 15 years ago.

In this Mother's Day episode, Joey's mom comes to visit with a big surprise. She's 7 months pregnant and married to an aura photographer (but he writes giggles to buy the bills). Joey has a hard time accepting his mother's big news.

On tonight: Minute To Win It Mother's Day Face-Off

NBC's catchy game show Minute To Win It is pushing the Mother's Day envelope with a mommy-daughter competition Wednesday night. I'm sure every mother wants to celebrate their special day with a stress filled competition, but at least there is money at stake.

Minute It Win It - Mother's Day Face Off


Check out what else is on tonight at TubeCheck.

Mother's Day: The Nanny

If you have lost your mother, is it better to try and forget Mother's Day all together? Or do you spend the day remembering the good?

Mr. Sheffield thinks the kids should be distracted on Mother's Day but Fran thinks it is important for the kids to remember their mom.

The Nanny Season 1 Episode 22 "I Don't Remember Mama"


Mr. Sheffield likes to distract his children on Mother's Day. These year he joins a country club. He should have checked its calendar of events first. They have a mother daughter pageant on Mother's Day weekend and Gracie wants to enter. Frannie fills in as "Mom" And everything seems to be fine until the pageant director finds out that Fran is just the nanny.

Fran and Gracie end up still in the pageant. They do a wonderfully fun musical number together.

And Mr. Sheffield comes around to talking about the children's mother. The episode ends with the family sitting around watching an old family movie.

Mother's Day: Mad About You

Happy Mother's Day to all you first time moms out there.

This episode of Mad About You shows the importance of that first Mother's Days. If you followed the show, you remember how hard it was for Paul and Jamie to get pregnant making this first Mother's Day all that more important.

So to you first time dads, make sure you make Mother's Day extra special.

Mad About You Season 6 Episode 17 "Mother's Day"


From Crackle: Mother's Day

Paul starts to worry about his gift for Jaime when Ira shows up with the prefect Mother's Day gift for Jaime, a rocking chair. 

Paul ends up coping another's idea to put a message up on the big sign in Times Square. But when Jaime makes fun of his message (not knowing it was his), he claims the next messages as his own.

Mother's Day: All New Modern Family

Here is a preview of this week's Modern Family (Wednesday, 9/8C on ABC). It is all about Mother's Day. And Claire is taking this opportunity to wear her past Mother's Day's gifts, and use her  mom's day coffee mug (too bad it is a pencil holder).

Mother's Day: It's tool time

Mother's Day is this Sunday. Are you having a hard time deciding what to get mom for Mother's Day? How about a song telling her how important she is?
     "O means only that she's growing older"

Home Improvement Season 2 Episode 23 "To Build or Not To Build"



It's Mother's Day and Tim decides that the boys should make Jill her presents this year. For Mark and Brad this isn't a problem. They make jewelry and recipes boxes. But for Randy, who isn't as good at building stuff, it is a problem. Maybe Wilson will know what to do. He usually does.

Mother's Day: The Middle

Imagine the perfect Mother's Day. Does it involve getting woken up at 6:30 in the morning to running eggs and burnt freezer waffles? Well that is how Frankie's Mother's Day started on this episode of The Middle.

Oh and my favorite part is when Mike announces that he is going to go watch Sport Center and let Frankie hang out with the kids because it is her day after all.

The Middle Season 1 Episode 22 "Mother's Day"



Frankie doesn't get the best Mother's Day. She get woken up early to a bad breakfast and bad gifts. She really didn't want an inflatable foot massager.

When Frankie's mom, Pat, cancels dinner plans, Frankie and Sue drive out to see her. During the drive Sue admits to stealing a refrigerator magnet. The guilt has gotten to her and they have to pull over do Sue can throw up on the side of the run. Another great element in a Mother's Day celebration.

Once the mother and daughter arrive at their destination, they learn that Pat just wanted a day to herself alone. Frankie, Pat and Sue all end up in tears.

When Pat and Sue return home, the house is trashed, and Mike forgot to buy Frankie the slice peach pie that she wanted. The next day Frankie goes and buys herself a slice of peach pie to enjoy in peace all by herself.

A great Mother's Day special from start to finish.

Mother's Day: Half & Half

Mother daughter weekends are a great way to spend Mother's Day especially if they are at a spa. But it might just be too much time together.

Half and Half  "The Big Mother's of a Mother's Day Episode"


Half sisters, Mona and Dee Dee, end up at the same spa with their mothers. Dee Dee wants to talk about her relationship with her boyfriend but her mom doesn't want to talk about sex. The rest of the episode is available on youtube.

Mother's Day: Everybody Hates Chris

What do you do when you have found that perfect gift for your mother only to discover you can't afford it?  Do you steal it? No. That would be wrong. You just buy the knock-off. Problem solved.

Everybody Hates Chris Season 3 Episode 21


Chris goes to the department store to my Rochelle some perfume for Mother's Day. But apparently he wasn't fast enough and the only thing left is way too expensive. To fix the problem, Chris buys a knock-off from Risky. Everything would have been fine if Rochelle hadn't broken out in hives after using the knock-off. And of course things only get worse when Rochelle takes Chris back to the department store thinking that is where he bought it.

Mother's Day: In the Motherhood

This short-lived, mid-season entry show still had time to do a Mother's Day webisode.

These young mom's love to share their worst Mother's Day moments. And their worse potty training moments. Would you be happy or embarrassed that your child pooped in the potty for the first time but it was in a display toilet at the hardware store? Would you tell someone or just walk away?

In The Motherhood, Season 1 "Mother's Day"

Mother's Day: The Jetsons

The Jetsons, Season 2 Episode 12 "Mother's Day for Rosie" This Mother's Day don't forget your robot maid. She might get her feelings hurt.



Mother's Day in Orbit City just makes Rosie miss her mother. The robot model before Rosie has been deactivated. But George wants to find the blueprints so Rosie can have her mother back. Wouldn't be nice for all of us that have lost a mother to be able to build a replacement.

Mother's Day: Real moms and fake moms

From the wisdom of Tracy Jordan: "No Jenna, no one gets to choose their mom, even when they're fake."

Season 4, Episode 20, The Moms


30 Rock managed a gut-busting mother's day episode back in 2010. It worked in all the usual 30 Rock drama as Jack and his mother Colleen fight over the morality of dating two women, Liz fantasizes over the prospects of having Buzz Aldrin for a dad (in a fantasy where somehow she is a man) and the TGS Show tries to idiotically bring everyone's mother on air for a Mother's Day episode.

So say "Happy Mother's Day" to your mom on May 8, and remember how complicated (and wonderful) she makes your life, "even if they're fake."
