It's very uplifting to me 😊

I loved that song!

I have just realized that myself. One of the best songs of the many family-oriented shows that came out throughout the 1980s.

That and Valerie Harper in the 80s

I was only 12 when this show was on, but this song moved me back then!

I forgot this show even existed (I was a kid when it was on), but hearing the news about Valerie's death brought it all back. RIP. Thank you for the memories.

Totally agree with everything you said Condoleezza Perry The 80s were awesome 👍🏾

Sad.

I loved this show growing up

I had no idea she passed away. I didn't hear about it until I read this comment. I remember this show growing up as a kid.

It's because 80s sitcoms theme songs has a way of making us to a simpler time and this also messed up world we've now live in... 🙃 I choked up as well going through a list of old theme songs I grew up off of mainly from the 80s and 90s.. depending on the show it definitely carries a special place in your heart bring up as a kid

Wow, I had to look up what happened to Valerie. Sounds like she lived her best life to the very end

Tony Only nah punky brewster

MAN, youre putting alot on that. It was good but, damn. One of the greatest? How about Knight Rider and Airwolf?

NO LEAVE IT TO BEAVER HAZEL

Will Dominguez I know!! I just now heard it after twentysome years and still love it!

I shockingly sang the entire thing while watching this... after 30 years. Haha, the 80's were the best time to grow up.

April Z Man, you've got a good memory! 😂😂 I only got half of it. Yep, 80s was a great decade in many ways for an older teen

💯🙏🏾🤎

waterclear26 ur not alone

I DO TOO😭😭🤦😡😓

I do to, as well as no traffic in Cali in the 80s, no people in Cali in the 80s, very little crime back then, hell what's not to miss

Me. I needed to listen to this.

Denver Murray me too.

Whaaat??

She died?

Omg.. not me, but wow. I'm super sad now

He and his older sister, Justine, truly were moneymakers for NBC at the time...

Jason Bateman is probably why NBC figured they could do the show without Valerie Harper even though the show was called Valerie. Even in the first season that Harper was on the show it was becoming clear Bateman was the real star of it. The show definitely involved in something different after Harper left. They definitely increase the role for the actor playing the father

Watched this to honor her. Thank you, Valerie.

Yes!!

My memory is crazy I love Old School everything lol

Ayamalach No way?? That's way cool

The Black Knight thanks!

Ayamalach that was the first question on my mind, Thank you

Same story, but i grow in Colombia. I love that show, and also was a Happy time for me.

Wow. The UK and Colombia were watching this? I would have never guessed. Pretty cool.

+Will Dominguez ...& in New Zealand

me too - this and perfect strangers

I don't know if it will get either a DVD or digital release anytime soon. The problem is that while it is a Miller-Boyett sitcom, it's an early M/B sitcom made several years before they struck gold with their hit parade of shows for ABC in the late eighties. Therefore it doesn't share the same company with those later sitcoms which an entire generation of kids grew up on. Additionally it was one of those shows that fell off the map as the series went along especially in terms of creative which suffered a huge blow once Harper was let go, as she was a huge creative force behind the scenes during the first two seasons. It didn't help that her replacement, Sandy Duncan while good enough to keep the show from being cancelled was never able to fill Harper's shoes in front of the camera in terms of what she was able to bring to the series. The problem with "Valerie/Hogan Family" is that the while first two seasons are essential and enjoyable viewing, the rest of the series fails more times than not to meet that standard which could be the reason why it's never been given a broad release.

jldraw Now all 6 seasons are for sale but it's over $100 for the box set. I would only buy the 1st two seasons, but I did find the episodes on dailymotion.com and antenna tv.

A theme of life from a time that's long gone from us. I hear you.

Sorry, Sarah. I like Valerie Harper, but she bitched about money on Rhoda also and walked out on that show, too. She just got big-headed and thought they couldn't survive without her.

@112774053714295422267 Wrong. It's called negotiations. Let's see. She already signed the short form of her contract. She already filmed the third-season premiere. She showed up. Then they fired her. They used the typical misogynistic BS excuses against her (menopausal, hormonal, etc.) as well as the excuse that only a long form would be acceptable. She settled with NBC and won a $1.4 million ($2.87 million in 2016 dollars) court ruling against Lorimar, thus setting a legal precedent that short-form contracts are valid. What's further wrong here is that the producers Thomas Miller and Andrew Boyett stopped allowing Hogan Family reruns for over 20 years and counting, just so Valerie wouldn't make money off of residuals. Edie McClurg who played neighbor Mrs. Poole said this. The show is finally returning in spring 2017 on Antenna TV, supposedly.

Sarah K. Thats so sad...I loved that show as a kid...and yes...it wasnt the same after they killed off Valerie...

Sarah K. Well heard she may be dying...I heard she only has a few months to live..so even if it's put back on the air this year...she.may be dead...so she still wont recieve any money...but I will pray she lives a long healthy life

The difference between Valerie Harper and Sandy Duncan? Just go to 0:09. Valerie was tough enough to be tackled. Sandy took the snap smh. Valerie's a tough bitch!

R.I.P Mrs. Valarie Harper 😞😭💐

I forget all about this theme song. The show wasn’t the same, after Valerie left. Wasn’t Sandy Duncan blind in one eye or something? And then she married her doctor?

Rhoda! 😢

DVD is dead.

I agree, I would also love to own this on DVD

Dvd, or something new or whatever exists in the future

VictorianWhispers the show's currently running on Antenna TV if you have cable or a digital converter box.

They only show the Sandy episodes in the states
