Valerie (1986-1991) Opening Credits (The Hogan Family)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 січ 2015
- While perhaps better known as "The Hogan Family," the show started out as "Valerie." When Valerie Harper was released from the show following a contract dispute, the show soldiered on under a succession of titles, finally settling on "The Hogan Family." The show had taken on a different feel by that point, so the early "Valerie" episodes are a special treat!
Never realized how beautiful that opening song was!
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!
RIP Valerie Harper😢 I remember this sitcom and song sung by thee Roberta Flack as a child.#80's baby
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.
A little Black girl from inner city love love love loved this show and especially the theme song. Thank you for making me smile. Good memories!
💯🙏🏾🤎
This literally almost made me choke up reminiscing on my child hood. 80’s sitcom theme songs always do that to me. I’m a softy😩
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
VALERIE KATHRYN HARPER {1939-2019} Rest peacefully.
This is one of the greatest ever openings to a television show.
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
RIP Valerie Harper... I remember this show and had to come here in your memory.
RIP Valerie Harper. At least she got to live longer than her doctors predicted. I always loved this show but I also liked Sandy Duncan as Aunt Sandy as well.
Wow, I had to look up what happened to Valerie. Sounds like she lived her best life to the very end
Man, I loved this show. I can't believe how familiar the song still is after not hearing it for nearly 30 years!
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
I actually came here as soon as I found out she had passed. Rest in peace young lady.
RIP Valerie Harper.This was the 'original' cast of these series...and what a beautifull song by Roberta Flack, making us so nostalgic of the 80s :)
I miss the 80's 😞
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
Gosh this is such a beautiful theme song❤️😢I got a little choked up hearing it again. I watched this show as a young teen. Never missed an episode. Roberta Flack has SUCH a stunning,warm,emotional voice❤️😢🎶
who is here after hearing Valerie passed today♥️
Me. I needed to listen to this.
Denver Murray me too.
Whaaat??
She died?
Omg.. not me, but wow. I'm super sad now
Was a big fan of this show as a child because of Jason Bateman.
I was with it through Valerie, Valerie's Family, The Hogan Family, and The Hogans.
The 80s was the best in terms of sit coms. 😁
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
I can't believe we just lost Valerie Harper.
RIP and Goodbye to Valerie Harper :(
Watched this to honor her. Thank you, Valerie.
I was 7 yrs old.... this intro song zooming into my childhood days ❤ really miss the good sweet old dayys
Forgot how good the theme song was because back in the 70s and 80s, almost every show had a great theme.
RIP to the legendary Valerie Kathryn Harper (August 22, 1939-August 30, 2019). You fought the good fight. I remembered this beautiful theme song by Roberta Flack.
I have always loved Valerie Harper, such a brave and talented lady, from MTMs, Rhoda, Valerie
Thanks Valerie Harper for bringing smiles to our faces when you light up the tv!
2018 and it's back! Love this show.... watching it right now!!!!
What channel?
Roberta Flack on vocals baby!
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
I didn't watch when it first aired but I got into it with antenna TV and I think Valerie is better than Sandy
Wow takes me back to innocent time s of 1986-87 when I was 10 and my favorite sitcoms were family ties and Cosby show. RIP Valerie Harper.
This is the best early years in my entire life
Reminder of good television
Loved this show growing up...along with Growing Pains, and Perfect Strangers were my favorite sitcoms in the primetime during the late 80's.
"In the heart of EVERY family..." except mine. These theme songs always made me sad back then. Most of the shows I watched as a kid in the '80s had theme songs about the "love" of families. I never knew any "love" in my family. I thought it existed only in television until I went to college and met the families of other students and spent time with them. It was a bizarre shock, seeing that the TV sitcom families are closer to reality than I'd ever thought, that there do exist in the world families that don't hate each other.
My mom used to watch this show all the time because of valarie harper
Ah, the good ole days, when TV shows actually had theme songs.
I was 5 years old when this show first came on, still love it, and the themesong is still one of the best. R.I.P Ms. Harper.
It's so sad what happened with Valerie Harper; getting fired and all that. Call me crazy but I think if she was still with that show it would still be on today. And I don't mean in reruns. Like Mary Tyler Moore, Valerie Harper I think has something special about her that makes her just stand out and deserve to be in front of the TV camera all the time. I send her my love and prayers in her battle with her sickness.
RIP Valerie Harper thank you for entertaining everyone and now you can rest peacefully
Gosh, the song takes me back "life is such a sweet insanity, it's nice to know your friends are near"
I remember watching this with my brothers on NBC and CBS. I hope this gets a DVD release soon so I would purchase it as well as other fans of this eighties sitcom.
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.
There's something haunting about this song, I can't put my finger on it.
A theme of life from a time that's long gone from us. I hear you.
growing up as a kid comming home from school in England UK
BBC 1 would show it on Mondays at 3pm in the afternoon.
I'd record it on the video
happy times
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
Really loved this series and the intro song R.I.P. Valerie Harper.
Rest in peace Valerie
Tonight the world is a little less brighter R.I.P Valerie Harper
RIP Valerie ... been a fan since I was 11 and now I'm 50 and I'll stay a fan ... at least now you are free and in a better place ...
2024 still enjoying this opening theme song!
Damn good to see I'm not the only one who remembers this show. For years there was a dark cloud as to what really happened that got Valerie Harper fired from this show. It went back and forth from - Valerie being hard to get along with to Sandy Duncan and Valerie didn't like each other and had some sort of falling out earlier in their career which proven to be wrong. Glad to see her other interview on another You Tube page where she addresses the truth to her being wrongfully fired. I'm so glad I as a young black kid back then was exposed to so many different forms of entertainment that was appreciated by the public. But I'm so sad to hear yesterday Friday evening that my beloved Rhoda had passed on. But she definitely left quite an infallible and an impressionable mark on the entertainment world touching millions of lives in ages and races beyond the imagination.
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! 😢
RIP Ms. Harper. I was too young to remember your legendary roles in both the Mary Tyler Moore and later the spin off "Rhoda." (Of course I saw that great role later in re-runs). However as a Gen X Teen Viewer, I had a crush on you as IMO you were the best looking Actresses of the TV Moms of the 1980's. You will be missed.
Theme song written by Stephen Geyer and Charles Fox-- reuniting Fox and Flack who both won Grammys 13 yrs prior for "Killing Me Softly With His Song". Fox also wrote the music to the theme songs: "Happy Days", "Laverne & Shirley", "Wonder Woman" and "Love Boat".
She got screwed by NBC and Lorimar. I am glad she is alive and I wish Valerie Harper and her family a very Merry Christmas!
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!
That was a cool theme song to the show of course and it was a cool TV show rest in peace Valerie Harper
Loved the Hogans r.i.p. Valerie
Very 80s. I loved this show.
I miss those days
Somebody please release this show on DVD already, the fans will buy it!!
DVD is dead.
I agree, I would also love to own this on DVD
Dvd, or something new or whatever exists in the future
Praying for you Mrs. Valarie 🙏🏾💕.
R.I.P Mrs. Valarie Harper 😞😭💐
Like I said before I had missed a lot of these Hogan family episodes, I never knew that Valerie had played in here. Wow did I miss a lot. this is why I watch them every Saturday morning 10:00 and 10:30 a.m.
But back then it was hard to watch a lot of these tv shows there was so much on at one time. Hey I'm grateful for all the great shows that we had between the 1980s and 1990s. nowadays look at these newer tv shows today, a lot of them ain't worth watching the way a lot of these older ones are.
One of the great shows of the 80s. Just watched an episode. So great!
Went to school with Danny Ponce 7th grade!
Wow, I never knew this was a Roberta Flack song. One of my favorite female singers!
"Together Through The Years" Roberta Flack
It's on UA-cam in the much longer full version if you search for it.
Who else is crying their eyes out watching this intro. Valerie jogging pants and so healthy then. They took her hit show away from her.
Ms. Valerie Harper reminded me of my momma. So Sorry for you Ms. Harper. 💔💔 R. I.P. & in hour heart's forever. ✝️✝️
This theme song makes you feel young again I miss the 80's!!
RIP Valerie.
This was "VALERIE" for it's first two seasons on NBC (1986-1987) before it was renamed "VALERIE'S FAMILY: THE HOGANS" for it's third season, and "THE HOGAN FAMILY" for it's remainder on NBC until Spring of 1990. That same year, the show later moved to CBS to finish it's run that ends in the summer of 1991.
RIP Valerie Harper 💔
RIP Valerie Harper 😢
I love them songs. They are so nostalgic and takes me back in time when life was simpler.
I like when Valerie goes in the fridge to get milk and the carton is empty.
RIP Valerie Harper 8/30/2019 Good long hard fight.
RIP Valerie we will always remember and love you.
I remember stumbling onto this here in the UK when I was off school sick one day. Back then, it aired at 1.30pm (if I remember) and loved it there on. I would bunk off one of my lessons to watch it in my grandmother's house.
Here’s an interesting bit of trivia: The actresses that portrayed Valeries two best friends in the first season Mrs. Poole and Annie Actually portrayed the same character. Eddie McClurg Who played Mrs. pool played Grace the secretary in Ferris Buelleers Day off the movie And the actress who played annie played Grace in the short lived TV version of the show. They kept Mrs. pool but got rid of annie after Valerie Harper was let go
I’m now uber nostalgic ❤️
This theme song has the same zing and essence as the Perfect Strangers theme song!
Ms. VALERIE Jogging and so full of life. Now her life is over, & MTM are gone. BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN ✝️❤️😼
I remember this show growing up. Great vocals on this song.
RIP VALERIE
#RIP Valerie Harper: I watched this during the 80s on BBC 1 and always wondered why there was a change of actress and programme title. The episode where she discovers that her eldest son has condoms and talks about locking him up till 30 was one of the best.
They only show the Sandy episodes in the states
I said just now, let me check on Valerie and found out the news. I felt it. I loved her growing up. Her memory is full of fond memories of my childhood. She will forever be able to make me smile/laugh. Praying for your speedy transition love.
Used to love this show as a kid in the 80s
RIP Valerie Harper 1939-2019 You will be sorely missed and never forgotten.
Rip Valerie Harper sad day
I remember the theme like it was yesterday but this is the first I've seen the show like this and with Valerie Harper. I remember seeing the show roughly near the end of its run.
When tv had theme songs god i miss them!!
I wish I could see full episodes when Valerie was there. I wasn't alive in the 80's.
VictorianWhispers the show's currently running on Antenna TV if you have cable or a digital converter box.
The song hits you at the core and it's probably why I get emotional bc it hits you deep. How tru it's all of these years later
Great tv show from my childhood.
I remember reruns of this show as a kid. I think it was UPN or PAX that would air episodes in the late 90s.
Back when tv shows had great intros
Good old times!!😭😭😭😭
Rest In Peace Valerie Harper
Valerie Harper deserved better from this show. It was so sad how they treated her so badly.
I used to watch this show back in the day (along with so many other classic 80s shows) but it's been so long that I didn't even remember the dad was a pilot!
Roberta Flack did an amazing job on this theme song that celebrated family values.
I can’t believe I used to watch this show every week. Why? I couldn’t really tell you. It was actually a good show though.
Awwwww, may she rest peacefully
Amazing 💟😘 outstanding memories 😍😘😘😘😘😘
RIP Valerie Harper.😢😢😢
One of my favorite TV themes by the legendary Roberta Flack.
So long Valerie
wish this was on dvd
