Episode Synopsis

On this episode, we’re talking about sitcom moms—from the polished homemakers of the postwar years to the fierce, flawed, and often funny mothers of today. The apron-clad matrons of the 1950s to the overworked, underappreciated, deeply human moms of the 2020s. We’ll track how they’ve changed—decade by decade—and ask what they reflect about women’s lives: in politics, in the workplace, and in the economy.
