8. The Moms of the ’90s Had Their Own Twist
The switch continued full speed ahead, with moms that didn’t take guff from anyone, and made their opinions heard unapologetically. Doris Roberts played “Marie Barone” on Everybody Loves Raymond and with her inability to take hints while sticking her nose in her sons’ affairs, she became a hilarious element of the hugely popular sitcom, while Patricia Heaton’s “Debra Barone” held her own as she juggled her family’s quirky needs. Martin Lawrence’s depiction of “Edna Payne” on Martin, Sister, Sister’s “Lisa Landry” played by Jackée Harry, and actress Jill Taylor’s “Patricia Robinson” on Home Improvement all highlighted this new wave of television motherhood.
