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.
Recently picked up for a second season, Instant Mom follows
Stephanie (Mowry-Hardrict), a party girl who marries Charlie (Michael
Boatman, Spin City) 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.

popular hit family comedies including the Emmy Award-winning series Friends,
My
Wife & Kids, George
Lopez, The
Nanny, Yes,
Dear, See
