Many of us are staying away from home, trying to keep that job, cooking meals, and attending a long zoom meeting. Aren’t we all missing our moms, reminiscing the good old days, and taking nostalgia trips? With Mother's Day today, why not take a look at the TV moms from the older and simpler times.

The Wonder Years made many of us kids, who grew up with satellite T.V. at home, crush over Winnie Cooper, and relate to Kevin Arnold as their alter-ego. And how can we forget Kevin’s mother, Norma? While an ’80s sitcom mom, she portrayed a mother in the ‘60s and ’70s America. She showed us what it was like before and during the burgeoning women’s movement. She went from a doting and nurturing housewife to a college student and, eventually, an executive at a software startup. She broke out of her homemaker role and inspired us all to believe that labels need not define us and that no matter the decade or circumstance, women could be or do anything they wanted. The show is currently airing in India only on Star World.
