"Mother's Day" is the second episode of the fourth season of the American animated television series Rugrats, first broadcast on May 6, 1997, on Nickelodeon. In this Mother's Day special, Tommy Pickles and Phil and Lil Deville attempt to find the perfect mother for Chuckie Finster, who is being raised by his father, Chas. They discover that Chuckie's mother (voiced by Kim Cattrall, pictured) died of a terminal illness. Norton Virgien and Toni Vian directed the episode. "Mother's Day" was praised by critics for its storyline and its representation of breastfeeding, and has been the subject of several retrospective reviews for its treatment of the death of a parent. It won a CableACE Award and was nominated for the Humanitas Prize in the Children's Animation Category. Rugrats received a nomination for the 1997 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program after Nickelodeon submitted "Mother's Day" for consideration.

 * Reasons for nomination: This is a very popular Rugrats episode that I am nominating to be featured for Today's featured article on Mother's Day 2021. The episode tackles the real life situations of children growing up without a Mother.
 * Support as nominator. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 14:58, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Support as the main editor and the one who took it through the FAC process. With that being said, there is much a better blurb here. I do not think it is a good idea to have the blurb focus only on the episode summary. Aoba47 (talk) 18:04, 15 March 2021 (UTC)


 * please understand the instructions for the process; blurbs are stored on the talk page of the FAC, and are not just the first paragraph of an article. Here is the better proposed blurb: Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  07:37, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , Please pay attention to the history of the request page, you would have seen I replaced my original blurb that i used with Aoba47's suggested blurb with some minor word changes three days ago...And he thanked me for it, so your comment is redundant now. And again, Just look at some of the other requests here by other editors, they literally copy and paste the lead paragraph of the featured article. I had also managed to get a FA on the main page that was a copy and paste of the first paragraph of the article and no one gave me negative feedback for it. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 11:56, 19 March 2021 (UTC)\
 * Apologies for jumping in on this conversation. As I had said in a different TFA request, blurbs should written specifically for the purpose of providing an overview or summary and only copy-and-pasting the lead's first paragraph is not a great way of doing this as you would be leaving out any of the information in the lead's other paragraphs and therefore it would not be a real overview or summary. Elements from the overall lead can definitely be copy-and-pasted, but that is not the same as using just the lead's first paragraph. This is not intended as negative feedback, and it is more so to tell you what I have seen from my personal experience with the TFA. I do not have a strong opinion on the difference between the two blurbs. I have primarily seen images used without captions, but I could see how a caption would be helpful.

 * , Remember to stay WP:CIVIL, but Support the new blurb. P  anini 🥪 19:41, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 * SomeBodyAnyBody05, I have removed the duplicate. Thanks for pointing this out (it would have saved lots of editor time to have noted that here when you upated it).  Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  19:58, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 * SomeBodyAnyBody05 did not move in the blurb from the FAC page, but I did.  is that the right one now?  Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  20:15, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for catching this! I had just assumed that the exact same blurb that I had linked above was used so I admittedly did not read it as thoroughly as I should have. Apologies for that. I much prefer this blurb. And thank you again to who wrote it in the first place. Aoba47 (talk) 20:19, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , The "actual' original version I proposed before I knew of the existence of a already approved blurb was the lead paragraph from the article. And the alternate version was a blurb I tweaked from the original approved blurb was pretty much the exact same blurb with a few minor word substitutions and additions with a helpful caption. Do you think that version could suffice as well? ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 11:46, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I would rather have the original blurb that I had linked above without any alterations to the wording. I do not mind the caption though. Aoba47 (talk) 17:02, 22 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Support, with a heads up to and  to be ready for breastfeeding pageviews on Mother’s Day.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  22:42, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
