We can also add characters who weren't actually mothers but filled the role when necessary.

Aunt Bee on The Andy Griffith Show is a fine example.

Jackie Harris on Roseanne would be another. Darlene and Becky knew they could always count on Aunt Jackie when they were afraid to talk to their parents.
