GS Moms vs TV Moms

Who on GS reminds you of the following oms?

That 70’s Show - Kitty Foreman
Home Improvement - Jill Taylor
Cosby Show - Clair Huxtable
Married With Children - Peggy Bundy
Simpsons - Marge Simpson
Family Guy - Lois Griffin
Everyone Loves Raymond - Debra Barone
Roseanne - Roseanne
Fresh Prince Of Bel Air - Vivian Banks

My wife reminds me of Jill Taylor, cause I keep messing up the home with my so called home improvement projects and she has to live with them

Muzna reminds me of Clair Huxtable. She is just too prompt.

Muniya reminds me of Lois Griffin. I dont know why :hehe:

UZ would be Kitty Foreman, She appears to be a very submissive wife :smiley:

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

TLK bhai … You totally made this thread for the second post … I totally agree with your amazing astuteness :rotfl:

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

No no no no, i did not make it for the second post :D

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

after reading Khatti's account of twins, I declare her Debra Barone (just because of the twin factor, cause I am sure that Khatti's MIl is not that evil :D)

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

Khatti is more like Kitty Foreman…who is a good cook and “likes” everyone..even the Fezes of the world. :cb:

As for Claire Huxtable…there is this appeal to her…but at the the same time, I always found her a bit scary. She gives off an unapproachable business-like vibe…even in her interactions with Cliff and the kids. There’s a mystery/detachment about her that keeps Clif intrigued and on his toes…but she needs more softness.

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

I kind of agree. We have to understand that Cosby Show was an attempt to present African American community as educated, affluent and valuable part of society. Claire was trying to set the standards for black moms, maybe.

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

I know. But though she was a successful career woman...it doesn't necessarily have to mean that she display that business-like behavior in her personal life. And I know that it's a subjective matter as some might think she was fine as a wife/mom. I do agree that she had an allure to her. That smug and amused smile that would often play on her lips when she was interacting with Cliff and the kids....was charming and yet at the same time I found it lacking a motherly warmth.

I think that the "warmth" Claire's character had was of the tough-love variety in that she didn't coddle and she wasn't an enabler of weakness/self-pity, etc. And that's a good thing....especially for daughters when they're in that adolescence stage (and at other points as well). But still...I think she needed just a bit more softness.

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

Claire was much better than Vivian Banks, especially the first Vivian Banks. Second one was kind of cute.

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

AGREE! Oh God…Vivian Banks…I don’t even know why you included her in your list. She was not a strong character…she wasn’t all that involved in her kids’ life. It seemed that she mostly just dressed glamorously and accompanied Phil to his various events.

And to the horror of some people…I wasn’t crazy about Will Smith in the show either. The people who really carried the show were the dweeb (Carlton) and the ditz (Hillary). I liked them the best. Cuz without em…Will couldn’t be “cool.” And Carlton’s dorky dancing…that was awesome…I’d like to master that! :hehe:

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

dono about peggy but i could name a couple of em that sound like ted bundy..

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

Hillary was hot.

Oh yes, if not serial killer than they are saryal killer

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

Yes I am a very faithful wife. :naak:

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

No one is desperate housewife here :hehe:

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

oh you have reminded me of a completely different era!

Carlton.... wow..

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

Carlton's my hero, lol.

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

Oh he used to have me and my bro laughing like mad! I used to rush home from school just to watch him dance.. Will smith was nothing in comparison.

Oh good times...

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

@TLK....you should include the mom from Everybody Hates Chris in your list. I love how every dilemma regarding her kids culminates in the warning, "I ain't raisin no baby."

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

Carlton was everyone’s hero!!! Slims…this is your cue to enter!!!

And Ashley was just plain annoying :vivo:

Re: GS Moms vs TV Moms

Agree. I don’t understand the point of her role. She was bland, nothing really stood out about her. Maybe the creators of the show thought that there should be someone in the family that seems more “normal” because the others (Carlton, Hillary, Will) were extremes. So, maybe she was like a buffer?
