Dorothy Baxter on Hazel

Mother of Meredith Baxter in real life. Her replacement, Lynn Borden, might be an even better representative.

If we're talking hot moms, Natalie Lane (played by Jean Byron) has to be up there.

I have to go with Maureen Robinson (June Lockhart), the mom of the Space Family Robinson in "Lost In Space", simply because "L.I.S." is my all-time favorite TV show.

Don't forget that Lockhart was also Lassie's (OK, really Timmy's) mom on Lassie for many years, though that practical farmer's wife dress was not that alluring.

Not to mention - "Here's the lady MD, she's as pretty as can be, at the Junction"...after Bea Benadaret passed away. And June is still with us - age 92.
