"Mother's Day! Featuring the greatest experts of all, the American mother. Brought to you today by (insert sponsors). And now, here's our host, Dick Van Dyke!"
Mother's Day was a short-lived game show which featured three mothers, selected by their husbands, children, friends, and neighbors, competing for the title of "Mother of the Day".
Gameplay[]
Broadcast from the Latin Quarter in New York City, the show tested the homemaking skills of the mothers in four rounds. The player scoring the greatest number of points won a mink coat and other merchandise prizes.
Among the skills tested were the ability to pick a hard-boiled egg from among four possibilities, the ability to memorize a list of six items and then recall the items when asked about them, and the ability to choose a four-pound steak from among six steaks.
