Love this show, every episode is on youtube now. They need to put this back on, we need an all 80's channel, it would be better than the cesspool of junk they air now
Whats crazy is how MTV was pop centered with no R&B but R&B singers like George Benson Roberta Flack, and Al Jerrau wote and sang nearly all the 80's evening sitcom theme songs.
WHY DON'T THEY SHOW OTHER ONES LIKE THIS ON TV IT'S LIKE ALL THEY KNOW ON NIKE AT NIGHT IS FAMILY MATTERS I KNOW ABC FAMILY WAS PLAYING ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS STEP BY STEP BUT THIN THEY TOOK IT OFF AN NOBODY PLAYS IT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I THINK THEY SHOWLD PUT SHOWS LIKE THIS BACK ON TV I WOULD KIE TO HERE FROM ANY ONE WHO THINKS THE SAME AS ME THNK YOU.
i loved watching this when i was little, best thing about those of us who grew up in the 80's we grew up with awesome tv, had awesome toys to play with, life was good then sure do miss those days
@EastCoastDude99 Actually, with Jason Batemen's growing popularity this past ten years, I'm surprised they haven't decided to release the show on DVD yet.
@Nkkicute Well I watched the show pretty frequently growing up, so that's more or less what brought me here. But Jason Batemen is a great actor, so it's cool to discover this was where he started off. ;)
@fh346 Not sure the title, but the singer is Roberta Flack, the woman who had hits in the 1970s with "Killing Me Softly With His Song," "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," and "Feel Like Makin' Love."
Valerie's Family became "The Hogan Family" because Valerie Harper was FIRED for demanding a pay raise... then they KILLED her off. Her character just "died", I remember in the house fire episode, "It's been two months since mom died".
The only episode I remember from this show was an Halloween episode where all three brothers have nightmares, but play this theme song and I know this is the Hogan Family intro. And this goes for most 80s and early 90s sitcoms. Shows during this time actually took the time to create and develop memorable themes.
I used to love that show. I remember reruns used to come one. Why don't they put this out on DVD? I'd buy all the seasons or at least get them on Blockbuster.
I know it's pathetic, but this song makes me wanna fuck Sandy Duncan. I have no problem with spreading my legs and letting her grab my balls like she does Jason Bateman do in this opening.
These two actors playing twins, don't really look like twins. I thought twins were supposed to look alike. The older brother looks like Mallory from Family Ties.
This show is on 7two here in Australia one of free to air digital channels. I have being waiting for years for show to return hope they run from episode 1 till the end i hope They run this show with Perfect Strangers then Growing Pains in the afternoons.
Man this show sucked so hard. Id miss all the cool cartoons after school because of my paper route and when I got home all that was on was this shit. Wah wah.
Was one of my favorite sitcoms when I was a kid. I think it actually got better after the whole Valerie Bertinelli debacle and name change. And this was back when Jason Bateman was actually cool.
@JeffroTV That is a myth. It's her real eye, but the optic nerve was destroyed when a tumor was removed. She has no sight out of it, but it is her real eye.
OMG!!! I loved this sow as a kid. Jason Bateman was so cute and dreamy back then. I also loved the theme song it just made you feel good. Thumbs up for TGIF!!!
This was one of Miller-Boyett's first sitcoms. Believe it or not. The only ones before this was Miller-Boyett-Milkis. Or Miller-Marshall-Milkis.
I believe ABC was supposed to pick this up because it was released 2 weeks before Perfect Strangers (as Valerie) But, they passed it off to NBC and then CBS for the final season.
I remember this show back in the day. It used to be called Valerie, and they switched titles after Valerie Harper left. Funny thing that always got me is the chorus in this song is Step by step day by day... and the show Step by Step used the same set. Family Matters too. All three families lived in the same ABC universe.
This has to be one of the most seriously epic television theme songs out there. I mean, there are plenty to list, but this is easily a Top 10. I vaguely remember the show, but I know that I did like it when I was younger. I wish there would be more stations like TV Land, or Nick @ Nite that would dedicate itself to more 70s, 80s sitcoms. Watching the Fresh Prince, or Rosanne makes me feel old and I'm only 25!
@IluvDonnieandJordan The Hogan Family is an American television situation comedy that aired from March 1, 1986 to July 20, 1991. It was produced by Miller-Boyett. ...
you can wikipedia for more info
The short blonde was hot and that Bateman guy was banging her
@chuckers40 - I'm sure this aired in the 80's, didn't it? I remember all of these shows being 80's. Once the 90's came around, everything started becoming about special effects. Well, maybe not the very early 90's, but once Kurt Cobain died, everything started to suck.
@xxoxia The show started as "Valerie" in March 1986, then became "Valerie's Family" for the second season and then became "The Hogan Family" The show ran a total of 5 seasons. 4 on NBC and the final season on CBS.
@chuckers40 - Yeah, I think I joined in on the second season then, because I don't remember it ever being called just "Valerie", I remember it being called "Valerie's Family" when I first watched it. That, and I don't remember watching it that many years. I don't think I saw it all the way until the end because I moved or, some other reason.
has anyone ever noticed a lot of shows in the 80s were set in chicago Like Family matters, Perfect strangers, Punky Brewster, the hogan famil,y Married with Children,
Webster, Joanie Loves Chachi and a few ill fated series not to metion a lot of buddy cop movies and brat pack films were set there is it just me or am I the only one to notice
@KingDT2007 - Actually, weren't Webster and J loves C set in Wisconsin? I know Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley were in Wisconsin. They all wanted to portray that middle class happy family that doesn't exist.
@xxoxia jonnie loves chachi the spin off of happy days was set in chicago while happy days was set Wisconson webster was set in chicago as well according to imdb. i am just saying chicago was ubiqutiesly used as a backdrop city in the 1980s with fiction comedy action drama during that decade. I mean i noticed it a few months ago if you think about it that trend continued till the early 90s then it shifted back to NY now this decade it is shifting to SoCal as a mainbackdrop
@xxoxia in jonie loves chachi chachi and jonie movie to chicago webster was set there as alex karas had links to the city because he played for the bears laverine and shirley was set in milwakee
wow..looking for that years... i thought to looking for series from the 90's and then i'll find it... great. check this out :
growing pains,beverly hills 90210,degrassi,the wonder years,saved by the bell,my two dads,the fresh prince of bel-air,step by step,full house,Family Matters,life goes on,Married... With Children,facts of life,golden girls,jump street 21,fame,Melrose Place,Rags To Riches,Parker Lewis Can't Lose,the storyteller,thirty something,wonder woman,alf,Murphy Brown
@cindyspaceful yea Val sued Lorimar productions over certain rights or whatever and they fired her I think.Anyway she won the court battle but turned the page & went on to other things.I prefered the show with Valerie.I luv evrything she does! :)
@jeanandbilly I loved VAL on MTM.....and her own show RHODA...Yet jews are money people......Just my opinion....I know jewish that say the same..... Yet media won't touch it in fear of law suits.....Yet I love Val.
@kduideo Irony of the sort Valerie is Catholic & so was Nancy Walker(RIP) who played Ida her Mom to perfection.Anyway Val won against Lorimar to the tune of $2.8million if I recall. I think Bernie Madoff didn't do any favour to the money-minded cliché either.
@Yobachi2007 LOL not at all! To be honest, I kinda felt the same way. This song makes you wanna do better than average so you can have a family like the Hogan family
@video77ab Sometimes the "and [actor's name]" billing is just as good as being billed first.
I don't know if you watched Charmed, but after Shannen Doherty left, Holly Marie Combs required that she get the "and ....." last billing, when Alyssa Milano got the first one, which highlighted that they were the stars of the show.
I remembered thinking that the father had a great drop-back pass. This video many years later has confirmed that...lol. He had to have had a football background.
OMG, Josh Taylor was such a hottie on this show, I loved the Hogan Family. I know Josh Taylor is now on Days of Our Lives as Roman Brady and Jason Bateman was on a show called Arrested Development, but whatever became of the rest of the cast? Any info you may have is appreciated. Thanks
Does anyone remember the episode where Mark cussed a lot, and he was forced to put a quarter in a jar, every time he said a cuss word? The jar got pretty full. I don't remember many specific episodes, but that one sticks out.
@doc312 Rhoda was way before this in the 70's...they killed her off because of contract disputes and changed the name of the show from Valerie to Valerie's Family, then The Hogan Family.
@AllisonTheSNLGuru Did she record a full version of this song? John Sebastian recorded a 3-minute version of the "Welcome Back, Kotter" theme, and I have that on my iPod.
@Dreamline78 Roberta always had one of those pleasant pop song voices. Everything she sings is catchy and quirky. Even when she's singing a deeply moving song her voice still has that pop sound to it. She's always been delightful to hear.
Hey! That's Josie Bissett from Melrose Place! I never knew she was on this show!
Also, I just realized/remembered that Valerie was on NBC, while the Hogan Family aired on CBS!

I remembered thinking that the father had a great drop-back pass. This video many years later has confirmed that...lol. He had to have had a football background.

OMG, Josh Taylor was such a hottie on this show, I loved the Hogan Family. I know Josh Taylor is now on Days of Our Lives as Roman Brady and Jason Bateman was on a show called Arrested Development, but whatever became of the rest of the cast? Any info you may have is appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone remember the episode where Mark cussed a lot, and he was forced to put a quarter in a jar, every time he said a cuss word? The jar got pretty full. I don't remember many specific episodes, but that one sticks out.

@doc312 Rhoda was way before this in the 70's...they killed her off because of contract disputes and changed the name of the show from Valerie to Valerie's Family, then The Hogan Family.

its easy to idealize the past, but come on, this is really a crappy song. "life is such a sweet insanity"? Yeah, THERE's a great line.

Classic song. I was just thinking of the Hogan Family theme song a couple of days ago, so I decided to look it up.

@AllisonTheSNLGuru Did she record a full version of this song? John Sebastian recorded a 3-minute version of the "Welcome Back, Kotter" theme, and I have that on my iPod.

@Dreamline78 really? U mean who sang the original "Killing Me Softly" back in 1973? Roberta Flack performed this?!
25phillycheesesteak 1 year ago
@25phillycheesesteak The very same. I never recognized it before, but now when I hear it it's unmistakably her.
Dreamline78 1 year ago
@Dreamline78 Roberta always had one of those pleasant pop song voices. Everything she sings is catchy and quirky. Even when she's singing a deeply moving song her voice still has that pop sound to it. She's always been delightful to hear.
