You would have to go back to Mrs. Brady or Mrs. Cunningham to get the TV moms when I was a kid.

Peggy being 33 is wild đłđ€Ł
eastmemphisguy@reddit
Actresses go from playing the high schoolers to playing the high schoolers' mom in about two years.
elphaba00@reddit
Was it last year or the year before when Melissa Joan Hart (Clarissa/Sabrina) played a GRANDMA in a Hallmark movie?
Spirited_Storage3956@reddit
She's almost 50, I met a 32 year old grandma
unicorn-beard@reddit
Peggy is and always will be my favorite tv milf
Averagestiff@reddit
That could be an entire thread just by itself.
CynicalAltruism@reddit
Should be. I'd follow that. Somebody less lazy than me should make that happen.

Shotgun wedding for sure lol

Mom of two teenagers at 33?
They were both teenagers when the show started, right?
ketamineburner@reddit
I had 2 teenagers when I was 33.
It's not that weird.
WarmOpening9331@reddit
I guess she started early?
ketosoy@reddit
That woman had been 42 for 30 years.
BlueProcess@reddit
I just realized Leela Turanga is 71
MyBurnerAccount1977@reddit
Fry: Turanga?!
Amy: That's her first name, Phillip.
Bender: Phillip?!
Eric848448@reddit
I wasnât allowed to watch this so to me sheâll always be Leela.

I would think if you saw a non-production shot of Katey Sagal during season 1 without the bouffant wig and dated 60âs wardrobe youâd be like âah, ok adds an easy 8-10 yearsâ
badchefrazzy@reddit
It makes me sad that the women in that who are around my age are the "I TOTALLY LEANED INTO MY BUSINESS AND BEING A MOM AND I'M INFINITELY SUCCESSFUL" while I'm just fucking struggling to exist.
The_Nightscrawler@reddit
Erm 36, 34, 33. Not sure who the others are đ€
ImHere4TheGiggles@reddit
Whoâs the lady with 38? I recognize all of the other moms, expect herâŠ.
Josephthebear@reddit (OP)
That's Jackée

I know Jackee, thatâs why I added âwhite ladyââŠtop right corner

Amy Matthews from Boy Meets World
DrewBaron80@reddit
I introduced my 10 year old to the original Wonder Years last night. My wife and I laughed at the fact that we're clearly older than Mr. and Mrs. Arnold in the show.
_NoleFan6@reddit
I had to look it up too bc there ainât no way Dan Lauria was in his early 40s in that show⊠he was đ”. He looked every bit of 55 lol
_NoleFan6@reddit
Ainât no way the mom on Married with Children was 33! đ€Ż
hacksawomission@reddit
It's interesting to compare the ages of the actresses to their roles. Judith Light was 35 when Who's the Boss started, playing a character ten years older than herself apparently; Betsy Randle was 38 when Boy Meets World started, playing a character of the same age. Jo Marie Peyton was 39 when Family Matters started, Roseanne was 36, Katey Sagal was 33.

Cool, cool, cool. Love being older than Jill Taylor. So happy I learned this today. Doesn't hurt as bad as Stu Pickles but still doesn't feel great.
kenadams_the@reddit
That must be alternate facts

I started watching the Simpsons when I was in 4th grade and Bart had just entered the 4th grade. A couple years ago I passed Homer in age.
spentpatience@reddit
I started watching when the show premiered. If we go by Lisa being 7 in 1989, then I am her same age. She should be 43 now. I'm getting on to Selma and Patty's age now.
Kahnza@reddit
I want a Peggy Bundy and Aunt Viv sandwich! Give me a chocolate-vanilla swirly!
pingus3233@reddit
Never realized how hot JTT's mom is until right now.
No_Researcher9437@reddit
ee -âd still vining, wild times honestly
RealityOk9823@reddit
Yeah, you look up hot MILFs now and they're younger than you are. :|
Hades_Mercedes@reddit
Right? MILFs are just age appropriate women ILFs, now
Sidetrackbob@reddit
"mature" was my go to search for a while upon realizing milfs are often younger than me now.
IanCrapReport@reddit
When you realize Stifler's mom at 38 is younger than you.
Constant_Cultural@reddit
I am older now than most of them, only Suzanne was older
Sidetrackbob@reddit
Same.
Horse_Dad@reddit
Iâm closer to Mona from Whoâs the Boss.
Constant_Cultural@reddit
Mona was the goat and so are you
PinSufficient5748@reddit
Me, too! I remember thinking 38 was it. You're not "old", but all the fun's over....
Silocin20@reddit
I'm the same age as Suzanne Somers when she started Step By Step!! What the hell!!
leshpar@reddit
I'm an older woman than all of them except the bottom right.
theforestbather@reddit
This hits me in the feels because it's my 45th birthday today.
urbanlife78@reddit
Knowing this makes me want to watch Married with Children just for Peggy Bundy

C'mon, man. Nobody needs this kind of reality on a weekend.
Good_Connection_547@reddit
I can hear this gif.?
Indubitalist@reddit
In fairness these are their ages when the shows started. It doesnât help me feel much better, but itâs not nothing. They were all as old or even older than us by the end of those shows.Â
Taupenbeige@reddit
Peggy Bundy having Kelly at 18 is 100% canon
three-sense@reddit
Cinematic age archetypes. They have to look attractive because thatâs how tv characters work, but also canât be âsorority energyâ young.
Somegirls85@reddit
Aunt Viv was just a baby compared to the other momsÂ
Signal_This@reddit
The actress might have been 34, but the character wasn't! Hillary was supposed to be 21 during the first season which would have made Viv a mom at 13!
