"In one episode, Elizabeth Hess, (Clarissa's mom) walks into the living room holding a lit cigarette, saying she's under a lot of stress over her family not spending enough quality time together. She takes a couple of drags with nice IRL looking exhales. Not too shabby for a kids show."
"Clarissa Explains It All" (1991) | Elizabeth Hess
ep. season 3
"Clarissa finds out what life would be like without her brother around. She
finds her mother chain smoking in the kitchen, which only amounts to lots
of smoke in the room and one cheek hollow drag."
"Clarissa Explains It All" (1991) | Blanche Baker
ep. #5.8, "Janet and Clarissa, Inc.", Feb. 5, '94
"a health food corporate person. She visits the family to try and buy the
mother's new recipe and lights up at the kitchen table. A few drags and
exhales. Not the best scene, but a delightful surprise."
