Today’s Ultimate TV Mom Bracket: Discover the Winner!
Mother’s Day is approaching on Sunday, May 11, and this year, we’re honoring not only our biological mothers but also the pop culture icons that have offered us guidance and comfort through our television screens for many years.
With various parenting styles to showcase, from Clair Huxtable’s strict demeanor to Lorelai Gilmore’s carefree and friendly approach, TV moms have blessed us with countless moments of laughter and invaluable life lessons.
But which mom will take home the title of “No. 1 Mom” and receive our special flowers? This week, viewers have been casting their votes in the TODAY bracket for the best TV mom, and we are excited to announce the final winner!
The winner is Caroline “Ma” Ingalls, portrayed by Karen Grassle on the beloved show “Little House on the Prairie,” who triumphed over Carol Brady from “The Brady Bunch” in the final showdown.
While Charles “Pa” Ingalls (who famously clinched the title of TODAY’s best TV dad in June 2024) was recognized as the family’s visible pillar of strength, it was Ma who truly embodied the family’s heart. Through encounters with wild animals, sickness, and scarcity, Ma ensured the family persevered during challenging times.
