Honorable Mentions: TV's "Best" Moms

Since it's a slow TV week (it's Summer after all, go outside and play!) and we received positive feedback on our hottest tv women list, I'm going to delve into the first our honorable mention categories. It was made apparent to me than none of the women listed in our initial list play someone's mom - except Elizabeth Mitchell, who will on V; and Jenna Fischer, though I'm choosing to ignore the fact that The Office writers want me to care about her character being pregnant (allegedly). So without further ado, here's a list of TV's most photogenic "moms" who weren't quite photogenic enough to make our initial list:


Connie Britton: Friday Night Lights


















Britton plays Tami Taylor, the wife of friend of the blog Kyle Chandler's (call us, Kyle) main character on the underrated Friday Night Lights. Not only is she a smoking hot older lady, but she gets special mention here for pulling off the impressive mother-daughter hotness combo alongside the (*checks to see if she's 18 yet*) also very hot Aimee Teegarden. I respect any show that can not only incorporate that much talent into one family but also manage to include Gambit.

Ali Larter: Heroes





















This one is kind of cheating since the character Ali Larter currently plays is no longer the mother of Jheri curled boy genius Micah. But whatever Heroes, I'm not going to bother to keep track of your continuity if you only pay casual attention to it yourselves. And I'm lazy, so Ali Larter qualifies. She can't act, her character(s) are annoying, and they keep teasing us with killing her off only to bring her back. But she's hot. And that's what this list is about.


Katherine Heigl: Grey's Anatomy





















You may have noticed that the rest of the list features photos of the character alongside their in-show children, but fuck you if you think I'm going to spend any time trolling through Grey's Anatomy screens. You're lucky I took the time to Wikipedia whether this character has a child. I have nothing to say about her on-screen work, I believe my feelings on this p.o.s. show are evident. I have nothing to say about her off-camera bitchiness. I don't care. Katherine Heigl is hot. Here are hot pictures of her. fin.

Grace Park: Battlestar Galactica


























Grace Park would not have made the list if Mike was writing this post since:

A) He didn't watch Battlestar, and:
B) He doesn't have the Yellow Fever.

It's his loss, since it's not only one of the greatest shows of all time, but Grace Park is in it. Her character didn't often bring the sexy since she was usually in flightsuits and the like, but just check out her Maxim shoot if you need proof. Oh, and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the thoroughly unsexy rape scene she was in on the Season Two dvd deleted scenes. I'll wait while you google that.

Mary-Louise Parker: Weeds





















Mary-Louise Parker is pushing 45, but she can still bring it. She was hot in The West Wing, she's hot on Weeds, she's hot in everything she's been in (too lazy to imdb her). I only occasionally watch Weeds, and I've been told it sucks now, which is too bad since it was a show about drugs. And I'm told those are fun. Oh, and for the record, I don't believe there's anyway that a woman who looks like that would produce a kid that fugly. Come on, Weeds.
