Mommy wars

Throughout television history, few shows have focused on what is widely known as the world's toughest, most underappreciated job: mothering. General family shows like The Cosby Show and Everybody Loves Raymond have always been a network staple, and single parents receive more than their due with Garry Unmarried, Two and a Half Men, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Reba, Full House, My Two Dads, One Day at a Time, The Courtship of Eddie's Father, and on and on. But with the exception of Roseanne in the '80s, average moms rarely get exclusive attention.

When it began life on the web, In the Motherhood looked likely to fill that gap. Enormously popular, the short, vignette-style storylines starring Leah Remini (best known as Carrie on The King of Queens), comedian Chelsea Handler, and Jenny McCarthy drew more than 5 million viewers per "webisode" to msn.com. And with good reason. Thanks to ideas submitted online by real mothers, the show hilariously and authentically reflected regular moms' lives.
