Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

-----------------

TV moms-rules: Must be a mother to children, and I'm going to narrow the field and say that they need to actually be a mom, not just a maternal figure or someone who acts like a mom. Mom does not need to be blood-related to the children but the children that are in their care are their responsibility to raise for an extended period of time. No thirsty "Mommy" shit because that is banned on this site now.

This was originally sitcoms only but I opened it up to all TV Moms. Needs to be a mom that originated in a TV series. We can do Movie Moms and Video Game Moms next year because this topic series will undoubtably be running until next Mother's Day.

I guess no real life Moms that were depicted in TV show biopics? That would be a weird thing to vote for. Don't do that.

Have a Happy Mother's Day, Board 8! See you in a few days! Tell your moms that ZenOfThunder says "whoooooa mama ."

YESTERDAY: Really entertaining Rushmore which got more votes than I thought! We even got some "are diners valid??" discourse. Denny's somehow survived LFF from IHOP and Waffle House to just barely make it in over Chili's. I'm actually super happy with these results, there's a lot of variety and it feels inherently AMERICAN

Write a sketch in which Apollo Justice and Trucy Wright discuss which fictional TV mom characters they admire most, especially since they never knew their own mothers.

ChatGPT
Title: A Chat Between Apollo and Trucy

[Setting: Inside the Wright Anything Agency office. Apollo Justice and Trucy Wright are sitting at their desks, each engrossed in their work. Trucy looks up from her magician's hat, noticing Apollo lost in thought.]

Trucy: Hey, Apollo, what's on your mind? You seem a bit lost in thought.

Apollo: Oh, hey Trucy. I was just thinking about something. You know, Mother's Day is coming up, and, well, since we both never really knew our own mothers, I was wondering if you ever thought about fictional TV moms.

Trucy: Fictional TV moms? Hmm, that's an interesting topic. I suppose I never really gave it much thought. But now that you mention it, there are a few that come to mind. What about you, Apollo?

Apollo: Well, there's one that stands out to me Claire Huxtable from "The Cosby Show." She's strong, intelligent, and always manages to keep her family in line with a sense of humor. Plus, she's a successful lawyer, which I can relate to.

Trucy: Oh, I remember watching reruns of "The Cosby Show" with Mr. Wright. Claire Huxtable is definitely a great choice. She's a role model for balancing a career and family life.

Apollo: Exactly. And what about you, Trucy? Any TV moms you admire?

Trucy: Hmm, let me think... Oh, I've got it! Lorelai Gilmore from "Gilmore Girls." She's quirky, independent, and has an incredible bond with her daughter, Rory. Plus, she runs her own inn, which is pretty impressive.

Apollo: Lorelai Gilmore, huh? I've heard of that show. She sounds like a fun and caring mom.

Trucy: She is! She's always there for Rory, supporting her dreams and being her best friend. I guess in a way, I aspire to have that kind of relationship with my own child someday.

Apollo: Yeah, I can see why. Having a strong bond like that is something to aspire to.

Trucy: Definitely. And hey, even though we may not have had our own mothers around, it's nice to find inspiration from fictional ones, don't you think?

Apollo: Absolutely. They may be fictional characters, but the values they embody and the relationships they nurture are very real and impactful.

[They share a smile before returning to their work, each feeling a bit lighter having had this conversation.]

Kinda hard for me to narrow this down after Marge. The most well-known TV Moms unfortunately don't have a lot of personality diversity.

  • June Cleaver, Leave It To Beaver
  • Shirley Partridge, The Partridge Family

Wanted an assortment of types. We've got the adoptive, stereotypical, widow, and antagonistic. Lots of HMs, of course.

And the mom who's also a step-mom because step-moms deserve recognition too.

unfortunately true, which is why i end up going back to cartoons. comedy sitcoms are a good avenue too, Peggy Bundy from Married WIth Children and Lois from Malcolm in the Middle are go-to as well. cartoons however get the benefits of 1, everyone gets a personality and 2, nobody ages so you can do 20+ years and be relevant.

and i'm staying away from anime because while technically they're on TV, it just feels like a different subsection. otherwise ChiChi would totally be up there as well. ...though can't think of many more actually. they're plot devices there but not actual major characters either for a lot of series.

Write a scenario in which Miles Edgeworth investigates an international crime ring obsessed with eliminating Mother's Day from the calendar.

ChatGPT
Title: The Case of the Vanishing Mother's Day

In the bustling city of Los Angeles, renowned prosecutor Miles Edgeworth found himself entangled in a perplexing case involving an international crime ring determined to erase Mother's Day from the calendar.

It all began with a seemingly innocent request for Edgeworth to investigate a series of thefts targeting florists and gift shops. However, as Edgeworth delved deeper into the investigation, he uncovered a clandestine organization operating across borders with a singular mission: to eliminate Mother's Day, viewing it as a symbol of sentimentality and weakness.

Edgeworth's pursuit of justice took him on a journey across continents, from the streets of Los Angeles to the alleyways of Paris and the markets of Tokyo. Along the way, he encountered a diverse cast of characters, each with their own motives and agendas.

With his keen intellect and razor-sharp deductive skills, Edgeworth unraveled the intricate web of deception woven by the crime ring. From shadowy backrooms to opulent boardrooms, he pieced together the puzzle, exposing the mastermind behind the plota disgruntled billionaire who harbored a deep-seated resentment towards his own mother.

As the trial reached its climax, Edgeworth delivered a scathing prosecution, presenting irrefutable evidence of the crime ring's nefarious activities. In a dramatic courtroom showdown, justice prevailed, and Mother's Day was saved from extinction.

In the end, Miles Edgeworth emerged victorious, not only in solving the case but also in reaffirming the importance of love, gratitude, and appreciation for mothers everywhere. And as he reflected on the journey, he couldn't help but be reminded of the profound impact his own mother had on his life, instilling in him the values of truth, justice, and compassion.
