10.) Lucille Bluth -- Arrested Development

Lucille is just like every mom out there: she enjoys to drink a little, dislikes one of her four children, and she is funny as ever. Not to mention she has one-liners for days.

8.) Roseanne -- Roseanne

Roseanne may have been the most relatable mom out there. She was down to earth, she told it like it is, and she was a working mom. How more relatable could you get?

2.) Cookie Lyons -- Empire

Is she a bit crazy? Yes. But that is one of the reasons we love her. Jamal, Hakeem, and Andre have gone toe to toe, or broom to face, with their mother, and her husband Lucious hasn't always been on her good side, but that doesn't mean she's not iconic.

1.) Lorelai Gilmore -- Gilmore Girls

Saving the best for last, Lorelai Gilmore is the ultimate mom. Whether it's her witty and sarcastic banter, the countless pop culture references, or the fact that she is the best mix of mom and best friend, Lorelai is the coolest mom there is.
