The Hogan Family

''The Hogan Family'' (originally titled ''Valerie'' and later '''''Valerie's Family: The Hogans''''') is an American sitcom television series that aired on NBC from March 1, 1986 to May 7, 1990, and later aired on CBS from September 15, 1990 to July 20, 1991, for a total of six seasons. It was produced in association with Lorimar Productions (1986), Lorimar-Telepictures (1986–88), and Lorimar Television (1988–91).

Under the title ''Valerie'', the show centered on Valerie Harper in the title role as a mother trying to juggle her career as a buyer for an auction house and raising three teenage sons with an absent airline pilot husband (Josh Taylor). After the first two seasons, due to a salary dispute involving future ancillary profits, Harper was fired from the show. Her character was killed off at the start of season three, and Sandy Duncan joined the cast as Valerie's sister-in-law and the boys' aunt. The series was retitled ''Valerie's Family: The Hogans'', and for the rest of the series, it was retitled ''The Hogan Family''. Provided by Wikipedia
