Florence Henderson, known as “America’s Mom,” died on Nov. 24 at the age of 82. From 1969 to 1974, Henderson played Carol Brady on The Brady Bunch. She was lovely (like the opening theme song stated). She was caring. She was upbeat. She was a problem solver. And she never treated her three male stepchildren like stepchildren.
In short, she was the ideal mom. Not perfect, but almost.
In honor of Henderson’s passing, we present the 10 greatest moms in TV history. Enjoy.
