The Weekenders 21st Anniversary Celebration Week — Tino’s Mom: “Ms Tonitini was sort of based on my mom. My parents were divorced and I lived with my mom. You wind up, sometimes, having this almost buddies-like relationship. In retrospective it’s not necessarily healthy, but we played with it on the show where she treated him a more like a peer than most parents do. They were direct with each other. A lot of what she did on the show was nudge him in the direction of whatever -hopefully- reasonable decision he was going to be making before the end of the episode. There were a couple of episodes where she was wildly wrong about her advice and I sort of prefer those ones where she wasn’t quite as wise.” - Doug Langdale (The Movie Podcast) -- source link
