This Mother's Day, raise a glass to your mom and to all the matriarchs in the film world who entertain us with their humor, wisdom, and one-liners.

Bridgerton Season 4 | Official Announcement | Netflix

Scroll down for five TV moms we love, from Bridgerton, Abbott Elementary, The Golbergs, and more.

While Lady Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) doesn’t always get everything right — like when she doesn’t fully educate her daughter Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) about the birds and the bees, or forces Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) to become head of their household due to the grief that comes with her husband’s death — Violet tries hard and clearly cares deeply. She’s also fiercely intuitive, often dropping little truth bombs when her children need it most, especially when it comes to love. Who wouldn’t want that in a mother figure?

Abbott Elementary may focus more on school dynamics, but it’s clear from the very first episode that Barbara Howard (Sheryl Lee Ralph) is the unofficial mother of the group, in addition to being a mom outside of her teaching role. Despite her initial hesitation to take enthusiastic teacher Janine (Quinta Brunson) under her wing, Barbara embraces her “school mom” status. Key Episode: “Mom,” Season 2, Episode 21 — Meaghan Darwish
