From Ann Romano to Clair Huxtable to Jane the Virgin, this week The Breadwinners take a deep dive into how modern working mothers have been portrayed on TV.

Rachael shares her favorite takes, considers the time that the NYTs’s front page asked, “Is Murphy Brown really a tramp?” and lets Jennifer belt out the theme song to “One Day at a Time.”

Sing along!
