1He has a mother who likes watching TV.【正确】【a mother这里a不表示数量。】

备注:以上侧重点说明“妈妈拥有某种爱好”相当于是His mother likes watching TV。或者 His mothers hobby is watching TV.而不是说明有1....的妈妈

2He has a mother, who likes watching TV.【正确】【a mother这里a表示数量。】

备注:以上侧重点说明“有一个妈妈”然后补充说明妈妈有某种爱好。相当于He has one mother and her hobby is watching TV. He has one mother and she likes watching TV.

以下2个句子和以上2个句子有所不同【按逻辑和常理,妈妈只能拥有1个,但儿子可以有1个或者1个以上。】

1The old man has a son who is a doctor.【限制性定语从句表示:不止1个儿子】

备注:以上侧重点说明:儿子不止1个,其中1个为医生。相当于The old man has three sons and one of them is a doctor.

2The old man has a son who is a doctor.【非限制性定语从句表示:仅仅只有1个儿子】

备注:以上侧重点说明:儿子仅仅只有1个,这个儿子是1名医生。相当于 The old man has only one son and he is a doctor.

以下2个句子和网友提供英语句子定语从句用法完全一样

1Tom has a mother who is beautiful.【定语从句起修饰/描绘的作用】

=Tom has a beautiful mother.

2Mary has a face which is beautiful .【定语从句起修饰/描绘的作用】

=Mary has a beautiful face.

几位老师说的都有道理,我比较认同大鹏老师说的分析。

限制性关系分句除了表示“区分性”,也表示“描绘性”。

一个简单的思路是,对于逻辑上只有“一个”的人或物,其后都可以接描绘性的限定性关系分词,比如:

have a head that / which...

have a face that / which...

have a nose that / which...

have a stomach that / which...

have a father that / who...

have a mother that / who...

……

顺着这个思路,顺着这些用法完全可以查到不少权威实例!

我觉得网友的句没有问题,我同意蒋老师的分析——这里的不定冠词表示“身份”,而不是表示“数量”。这里的 a mother who...是指一个什么样的母亲,而不是强调一个或两个母亲。

我曾在张道真的《现代英语用法词典》上记录了这样一个例句:

Although she had a husband who loved her, she felt her life was lacking in romance. (Chambers)

这里的 she had a husband who loved her 与网友句子中的 He has a mother who likes watching TV 用法是一样的。这里的 a husband 并不意味着她有多个丈夫。

如果将网友的句子改为非限制性定语从句,则表明后面的定语从句只是一个信息补充(可有可无),单独说 He has a mother 则可能需要特定的语境,比如:He has no father, no brother and no sister, but he has a mother, who loves him very much / who likes watching TV.
