TV Moms Help Celebrate Mother’s Day on ‘Instant Mom’

Instant Mom's Mother's Day Special

Nickelodeon is bringing together classic TV mothers Florence Henderson (The Brady Bunch), Marion Ross (Happy Days), Meredith Baxter (Family Ties), and Jackee (Sister, Sister) for a Mother’s Day episode of Instant Mom starring Tia Mowry-Hardrict. The special episode will air on May 8, 2014 at 8pm ET/PT on Nick.

The Plot:

Instant Mom follows Stephanie (Mowry-Hardrict), a party girl who marries Charlie (Michael Boatman) and struggles to maintain some sense of her fun-loving, slightly irresponsible life while managing being a full-time stepmom. Sheryl Lee Ralph (Moesha) stars as Stephanie’s overbearing mother Maggie, who is never shy about making known her point of view on parenting or pointing out its superiority to her daughter’s approach.


In Instant Mom’s “Not Your Mother’s Day,” Stephanie (Mowry-Hardrict) is excited for her first Mother’s Day, but is disappointed when she learns the family intends to celebrate her on Stepmother’s Day instead. Stephanie takes her own mother, Maggie (Sheryl Lee Ralph) for a last-minute spa trip to celebrate the holiday and gets some unexpected “mom” advice from a few experts who attempt to cheer her up. All four iconic TV moms chime in about their own experience being a mother, giving a hysterical nod reflecting their classic characters.
