Let's hear it for the moms! Fictional or otherwise.
In a fan compiled list by IMDB, TV fans listed out their favorite TV moms of all time. At the top of the list was the incomparable, successful, and strong Clair Huxtable played by Phylicia Rashad from The Cosby Show.
Despite Bill Cosby originally wanting her to be a plumber in the show and having the couple be more "blue collar," Cosby's own wife, Camille, convinced him to mirror more of his own experience by writing two more traditionally successful, white collar parents at the helm of the family for the show.
Clair was "the exemplary good wife and mother" according to news outlets reviewing the program. She was "graceful but assertive, dignified but devoted" and "the smartest character in any given room." The character of Clair is often known as"the show's only main character to have been spared harsh criticism."

The Cosby Show ran from 1984 to 1992 and was an extremely popular American sitcom that aired on NBC for eight seasons and is often credited with reviving the sitcom genre. It focused on the upper-middle-class African-American Huxtable family, with the patriarch Obstetrician Cliff Huxtable (played by Cosby) and his wife, attorney Clair Huxtable (played by Rashad) living in Brooklyn, New York. The series centered on everyday family dynamics, parenting challenges, and approachable humor.
It's not just fans who have loved Clair over the years. Time, People, andSalon have all lauded the character for her writing and crowned her the "favorite" TV mom. The Daily Beast even said of Clair, "Clair Huxtable was not only the perfect mom, but also a great role model as someone who never sacrificed either her career as a high-power lawyer or her family life."
Role models come in every which way, but suffice to say, Clair Huxtable is one girls and anyone else can continue to look to to this day.
