Mothers' Day is quickly approaching, and no man can self-respectingly say he doesn't love his mother. Don't deny it - your mother's important. Afterall, who else is there to tell you that your hot new girlfriend isn't good enough for you (versus her firends, who tell you you aren't good enough for her).

Long past are the days of June Cleaver and Claire Huxtable, today's TV moms are a new breed; loving mothers and kick-ass women all at the same time. You don't see Rosanne's anymore, instead we're seeing the mother-of-two/super-spys - and god don't we wish we had Moms like that. Or that our friends had MILFs like that...

So, in honor of both Mothers' Day (May 11th) and the smokin' hot and rockin' awesome Moms on TV, Beer.com Presents: The Top 6 Awesome TV.

Allison DuBois, Medium - Patricia Arquette

Allison DuBois is not only the mother of two little girls, but she's the ghost-talkin' assistant to the district attorney. She makes her girls' lunches in the morning, wears short skirts during the day, and talks to the dead at night. Not only do we love Patricia Arquette for making a career from the mire that is the Arquette family, but Allison DuBois would make a great mom; hey, she could always talk to our dead pets.

Sharon Agathon, Battlestar Galactica - Grace Park

Bringing a child into the world while war rages around you is brave enough, let alone mothering a hybrid Cylon/Humanoid child. She gives birth to her daughter Hera, whose blood is shown to cure terminal cancer - how's THAT for a contribution to humanity? Being a Cylon, her loyalty is constantly being called into question, but when her pregnancy is threatened she unleashes the unholy fury of a Mother with her child in danger and whups the crew of the Galactica. For being a bad-ass Mom, Agathon, Happy Mothers' Day.

Claire Littleton, Lost - Emille deRavin

Being pregnant on a plane is scary enough, but what happens when the plane crashes? On a deserted island, no less! Claire goes into labor shortly after the plane goes down, and her child goes through all the tribulations on the island that she does - including kidnapping and other shenanigans orchestrated by The Others. Not to mention she's a smokin' hot MILF, I'd prefer that Claire be my friends' Mom.

Joy Darville, My Name is Earl - Jamie Pressly

Ex-stripper, ex-wife, and mother of two, Joy could easily be the best analog for Britney Spears ever portrayed on TV - trailer. trash. But even knowing that Joy's popped out two spawns, Jamie Pressly looks like a woman still fit for the stripper pole. She puts up with Crabman, Randy, and Earl, and never manages to keep her hands clean of the messes she gets into - for being a hot, tough-as-nails TV Mom, Joy Darville, we salute you!

Nikki Sanders, Heroes - Ali Larter

We all wish we had superpowers of our own, and fortunately for Micah Sanders, Nikki's son, he got his through good genetics. Nikki is the proud bearer of super-strength in a world where a select few are bestowed with genetic gifts - and this one's handy! She can open all her own pickle jars, tighten the nuts on your swing set by hand, and give the car a tire-change - while holding it up! The downside is that Nikki has an evil alter eg named Jessica. My mother had an evil alter ego too, but only when she was drinking.

Lois Griffin, Family Guy - voiced by Alex Borstein

"Loose Lois" as Gene Simmons calls her, is the wife of Peter Griffin, and mother of Chris, Meg, and Stewie. Lois tops our list for a couple reason; first, her parents are filthy stinkin' rich. Heir to the Pewterschmidt oil fortune, if you were Lois's kid, you'd never have to worry about a financial future. Second, She's a freak in the sack - if she was your friends' Mom, you could guarentee she'd be the kind of Mom to make the first move on you, like in all those pornos. Third, you've got to give the woman some credit for physical perseverance; not only does she put up with the morbidly-obese Peter, but she birthed the man-baby Chris and the football-headed Stewie. And to quote Stewie: "After Chris I was able to walk right out of there standing up, twirling an olde timey cane..." Lois, for putting up with it all and still being hilarious, Happy Mothers' Day.
