SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - May 2, 2013) - Today TiVo, a leader in the advanced television entertainment market, released the first-ever TiVo Mothers Day TV survey celebrating the best TV moms and the shows that help families come together.
Almost one-third (28 percent) of moms surveyed say they cant live without their TiVo DVR, so its no wonder that one in five (21 percent) say a night off to catch up on their favorite TV is the gift they most want for Mothers Day. What reality programming are moms most likely to be catching up on? Cooking shows like Top Chef (41 percent) and adventure reality shows like Survivor (30 percent) lead the way in popularity.
Busy moms have very little time to sit on the couch and enjoy their favorite movies or TV shows, and when we get that chance were usually battling for control of the remote with our husbands or turning on Yo Gabba Gabba for kids in the house, said new mom and TV personality Kristin Cavallari. Whats great about having a TiVo and TiVo Stream is that you can watch your shows anywhere throughout the house or while traveling and Im always discovering new shows. Its the perfect companion for busy moms and really, the whole family.
According to Cavallari, her must watch shows include:
Homeland
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
The Soup
The Rachel Zoe Project
TiVo not only surveyed what mom wants most this Mothers Day, it also examined favorite TV shows among moms and families. Families most like to watch comedies together such as The Big Bang Theory (35 percent) and Modern Family (28 percent). The Pritchetts from Modern Family were the top pick for favorite current TV family (35 percent), while the same percentage chose The Cosby Shows The Huxtables as the top classic TV family. Todays funniest TV mom is Modern Familys Claire Dunphy (41 percent), followed by How I Met Your Mothers Lily Aldrin-Erikson (25 percent). The most-missed funny TV mom is I Love Lucys Lucy Ricardo (37 percent).
TiVos inaugural Mothers Day TV survey also found:

Thirty-one percent of respondents rely on movie or TV viewing apps like TiVo to keep kids entertained in the car
The current top time-shifted shows kids watch are The Legend of Korra, Star Wars: Clone Wars, House of Anubis, Thudercats and Sofia the First
When kids watch one hour of TiVo, moms are most likely to catch up on reading (41 percent), doing housework (28 percent) and shopping online (17 percent)
Of gadgets in the home, 50 percent of families battle the most over the TiVo remote, but 93 percent of parents control the remote the during family TV time

The Brady Bunchs Jan Brady (30 percent) and Modern Familys Manny Delgado (28 percent) are the top TV children respondents would most want to have as their own
Leave it Beavers Eddie Haskell (47 percent), Saved by the Bells Zach Morris (17 percent) and Full Houses Kimmy Gibbler (16 percent) are the kids parents would most not want their kids to hang out with
