Five Fun Facts about "The Hogan Family"

[@TinaLouise73]

In the 80s i was obsessed with American tv sitcoms! The Hogan Family/Valerie was my apsolute fave! It was on tv here in the uk on a Wednesday afternoon at 3.15pm so I use to rush home from school on a Wednesday just to get bck to watch The Hogan Family on time plus I use to tape it on VHS!!! those were The days!

Me too! I had the biggest crush on Danny Ponce!

Miller-Boyett were the BEST! And I love the Wheat Thins commercials with Sandy Duncan and your ode to Conrad Bain’s prologue.

Valerie Hogan was hit by a car in the show. Her photo was destroyed in David's room during the fire, which was what made him break down in tears. Valerie did not die in a fire.

[@msxvideo]

You are correct, I never said she died in a fire.

[@rhodamorgenstern4413]

It was a automobile accident

[@LeftCat]

Thank you for covering the house fire death. This is the first place I could find the reference. I still remember that episode. It is burned into my memory.

[@RandemNJ]

You just couldn't wait to use that pun, huh?🤣

[@shelleymullen8403]

Valerie Hogan died in a car accident not in a house fire. She was already killed off when the house fire episode aired. I know this because I watched repeats of the show. When she was fired the next season episode 1 is when Michael talked about her dying in a car accident and on the same episode his sister arrived at the house.

[@msxvideo]

I never said she died in the fire. I said the episode was addressing the loss of the house and loss of the matriarch. Essentially after the house fire happened, the family addressed Valerie is no longer there. I definitely never said she died in the fire though, especially considering Sandy Duncan is in the episode.

[@jonstefanik9400]

Wasn't there a picture of Valerie that burned?

[@Edster73]

@@msxvideo I think Shelley Mullen is referring to your mention of the fire episode being the episode where the show addressed Valerie's death. That was Season 3's third episode "Burned Out", but the show already addressed her "death" in Season 3's first episode "Movin' On" where Michael reveals he's going back to work six months after Valerie's automobile accident.

[@Edster73]

@@jonstefanik9400 Yes... when David examines his bedroom, he comes upon a burnt picture and, while not specifically stated, it's implied that it was of his mother, Valerie Hogan.

[@shawncountry1]

Episode one of season 3 takes place 6 months after Valerie's car accident and features the dad going back to work for the first time. Enter Aunt Sandy (the dad's sister) to come and take care of the kids. The "Burned Out" fire episode was the third episode of season 3 and aired October 5, 1987.

Miller/Boyett with Garry Marshall also produced Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy and Bosom Buddies

[@bettylou965]

I watch the Hogan's every day Mon thru Friday, and on the weekends too.. yes I have seen probably every one 2x maybe even more. It's better than the TV shows they have on now. I have an antenna, yep I cut the cable cord a few years ago and I haven't regretted one day. ##1 Fan of the Hogan's

[@mariohall8357]

I thought Valerie Harper had died in real life…IMDb her today and found out she had passed away in 2019.

[@mrf817]

My favorite episode of Valerie is willie wrecked his parents’ car and thought it could end up like a tv show ending by confessing. My favorite episode from Valerie’s family / hogan family was when David owed the bookie money. The bookie had played daddy warbucks on the stage version of Annie

[@TildeDixon]

wait I thought it was David who did that😭😭😭😭trying to look good pickin up his girlfriend

[@TinaLouise73]

@@TildeDixon ur right it was David!

[@rhodamorgenstern4413]

The character of Valerie was killed off long before the fire of the house also Valerie Harper sued and won it was a wrongful firing

[@msxvideo]

Correct. I never said she died in the fire.

[@productreviewproductions439]

what could be the most interesting fact about this show: where can we stream it??

[@richarddavis8863]

Hey I've got a question, what's the name of the music you used in the outro to this video? Great review man! I wasn't born yet when this was on, but I've watched a good bit of it on MeTV over the past couple years and it definitely feels so nostalgic. Images like these flit at the edge of my consciousness

[@larryshaver3568]

CBS could have put The hogan Family on a different night which didn't have many high rated programs competing with it

[@cevancarr]

Ideally Newhart would have lasted until 1991 and Evening Shade or Major Dad could have been a lead-in on CBS Mondays, with a three hour sitcom block. Northern Exposure would have aired a different night.

[@GuyanaCapital-qr3wg]

I want to see the whole episodes of hogan family

Wheat Thins Rule!

[@tdamiano1970]

This was great. Thanks. I think Facts of Life actually did the safe sex thing first with Natalie losing her virginity. However now Im not sure if they discussed safe sex...Ill have to watch it again. LOL

[@alwill6536]

How do you mention Miller Boyett and leave out Family Matters???🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@alfonsogreen2722]

No matter the name change its 1 of my favorite shows of all time but I didn't like when it was on CBS

[@megamanj2004X]

The real reason why NBC cancelled The Hogan Family was because NBC decided to punish it because of ALF (The Hogan Family’s longtime Monday Night Stablemate for most of its run) and its saggy ratings in that show’s final season. Fittingly enough that you mentioned The D.L. Taffner universe. Jm. J. Bullock, a star from the D.L. Taffner universe in Too Close for Comfort became a semi-regular cast member in that final season of ALF as Willie’s brother Eric.

[@shawncountry1]

This is not true. ALF moved to Saturday nights in its final season which is what killed that show. Hogan Family remained on Monday nights paired with Working Girl and My Two Dads. Not only do I remember this, but here is the proof -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989%E2%80%9390_United_States_network_television_schedule

[@megamanj2004X]

@@shawncountry1 Midway through the final season it did. It was still on Mondays initially in its final season. You would think that airing on NBC’s equally strong Saturday Night lineup would’ve helped ALF? Nope. It surprisingly damaged it than it helped.

Did they do it?
