	Happy Mother's Day to all the Sporcle mothers out there! You deserve it! :)

	Cindy Walsh is the mom from Beverly Hills 90210, not the 90210 remake.

	Thanks, it's fixed.

	I kept typing in the Row 2, Column 1 show and it wouldn't take...

	Does anybody else think Mary-Louise Parker and Lauren Graham look like the same person? Just me? Cool.

	I was absolutely convinced that the mom from Buffy was Edie Falco from the Sopranos. Good quiz! I knew the show for all but one, but couldn't come up with the mom's name for some of them. Cory Matthews' mom, for instance...the parents on that show were so deemphasized after the first couple seasons that I just couldn't remember her name.

	The last names only worked for me with the Row 1 Column 1 and Row 3 Column 5. And @CalvinBrook, absolutely!

	For a quiz that says "last names acceptable" it sure doesn't take many last names...

	truwarier:	May 12th, 2013 at 05:46 GMT		4 points
	Yeah, and on top of that it accepts misspelled first names ('Harriet' for Harriette Winslow) and words that are neither the character's first nor last name, spelled rightly or wrongly, or the name of the show ('Beaver' for June Cleaver in Leave It to Beaver.) Weird...

	A LOT of the last names don't work! Harper? Nothing. Cunningham? Nothing.

	EmTeeZ:	May 12th, 2013 at 06:18 GMT		5 points
	The answers it takes (between last name, name of show, and sometimes even the character's name) are totally inconsistent.

	I echo the comments about last names, but in addition, I tried to type in "Family Ties" (I know, it's not there) and "Modern Family" popped up...I love that show, but it didn't seem right that it would come up but not "Family Matters". I like the premise of this and enjoyed playing, but too many inconsistencies.

	Says last names are acceptable, but it doesn't accept them. I quickly learned to just throw in the TV show titles.

	druhutch:	May 12th, 2013 at 08:28 GMT		3 points
	Aww, Happy Mother's Day, all. Got too many wrong to echo complaints about last name consistency but applaud the unexpected inclusion of Ms. Summers and also (Best/Worst Mom ever) Nancy Botwin. I'm also sad about no Lucille Bluth (or her Archer counterpart) and no Carmela Soprano nor Cersei Lannister/Catelyn Stark and the 80,000 other great TV moms from the last forty years, but I guess that's what sequels are for.

	Epic fail on last names - as bad as I've ever played.

	Big_E:	May 12th, 2013 at 11:43 GMT		5 points
	Echoing the sentiments above about last names. Poor game. I didn't know a lot of those shows, but the ones I knew, (like Cunningham) it wouldn't take. One globe, only because zero is not an option.

	Nancy Botwin--worst mother in television history!

	jw_ny:	May 12th, 2013 at 12:37 GMT		3 points
	once I figured out that typing in only the 1st name, it worked. I must have typed in Munster and Cunningham 5x each and it didn't work...boo.

	LisaSimpsonOH:	May 12th, 2013 at 14:55 GMT		4 points
	What? No Marge? I'm telling Mom. And you can't have Motherboy XXX without Lucille Bluth.

	You spelled Lorelai wrong.

	Parenthood should be accepted as Lauren Graham also plays a mom on that show.

	I have and always will love my Mom She's so pleasant and pretty and calm I tell her she's adored Might have gone overboard When I made her my date for the prom

	I only got 2 and they were the most and least guessed. Weird. Thought Smallville would be a bit more well known!

	great quiz a sequel is a must for several greats left off. moms from waltons, rhoda, simpsons, flintstones, family ties, alice, kate and allie, and married with children to name a few. i give 5 roses for the ones here.
