9 Reasons PBS Moms Are the Best
We're celebrating Mother's Day by highlighting what we love about our favorite PBS Moms. Check out our list and share something special about the moms in your life.
She Turns Every Life Lesson Into a Song
Wouldn’t it be great if all of our moms broke out into song over every little thing? When Daniel Tiger has a problem – his mom breaks out with two verses, a chorus and a bridge.
She Secures Starring Roles for Her Children Before They're Born
Did your mom introduce you to the world on national television? Sonia Manzano’s real daughter, Gabriela Rose Reagan, starred alongside her mother on Sesame Street until she started kindergarten.
She Prepares the Perfect Dinner
Lidia Bastianich's children are definitely lucky. Who wouldn’t want to have a professional chef as a mother?
She Plays a Role in Her Child's Supporting Cast...Literally
Benedict Cumberbatch’s real mother Wanda Ventham and father Timothy Carlton, played their son’s parents in Season 3 of Sherlock.
She Makes Everybody Want to Call Her 'Mom'
It’s always fun when your mom is the “cool” mom. Dinosaur Train’s Mrs. Pteranodon, mother of Tiny, Shiny, Don, and Buddy, is a teacher, companion, and the ultimate tour guide. Her kids never mind when she comes along for the ride.
She Has a Soft Side...You Just Don't See It
While there are a few moms on Masterpiece’s “Downton Abbey,” you have to admit that Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, takes the cake…or the tea. She has the perfect mix of strength, sensitivity and sarcasm.
She Knows Everything First
It could be either a good or bad thing that your mom is one of the first people to know everything that happens around the world. Judy Woodruff’s three children know all about that. She and Gwen Ifill were named co-anchors of PBS NewsHour last August.
She Has Friends in High Places
