I would like to see this show on DVD, but I would like the episodes to have the original openings such as the show being called "Valerie" in the Valerie Harper episodes, "Valerie's Family" in the episodes that followed, and then "The Hogan Family" in the episodes where they were officially changed to that name.

I'm sure the episodes would have their original opening credits. They usually do that with TV shows on DVD :)

If you're serious about trying to get this show on DVD, then the site to go to is: www.tvshowsondvd.com

This site is the primary site that companies and producers use to see which shows fans would be most likely to buy. So far it has helped to bring about DVD sets of Saved by the Bell, Designing Women albeit in a best-of set, and other shows that were thought to never see the light of day. All one has to do is register and then you vote on shows you'd like to see released.

For this show, there are 2 separate listings: Valerie & The Hogan Family. I guess they consider it two different shows, although that doesn't mean the company will if they ever decide to release it.

Who knows what we'd get if this show ever saw release? Outtakes? Cast auditions? Perhaps the original first two season 3 openers, the first being shot without Valerie Harper (her character, Valerie Hogan, was said to be back East visiting her parents) while the second included Valerie before the producers decided to fire her?

Guess we'll never know unless people vote...

About the 2 seperate listings, I was the one who requested that "Valerie" be added to their database, just in case Warner Bros. (I think that's who owns "Valerie/The Hogan Family") treats them as two seperate shows. I wanted to make it clear that the "Valerie" episodes deserve DVD releases as well.

I couldn't agree more. I started watching the show from the beginning and to me, the show was best when it was called Valerie. Not just because of the actress but overall the writing was a lot better and sharper. I felt that when Sandy came on, in order for the show to get away with making light of Valerie Hogan's death, the show turned into a cartoon and became sillier.
It was still entertaining, mind you, but it lost some of its edge, relevance and uniqueness. JMHO...

I would love for this show to be on DVD! I wish there was a channel that played all 80s sitcoms!!

Yes Yes Yes.

I remeber watching this show in late 80s and I loved it then, and I am watching it again after all those years and still love it. I would certainly want to have that on a DVD, atleast the first 2 seasons when it was Valerie.

Anyone wanting this show on DVD or VHS should go to www.tvshowsondvd.com immediately, and vote for this show to be released. You have to register on the site (big deal folks! don't be lazy!) and then vote for it by following the links on the side.

This site has become very popular with the companies that produce the DVDs. They use the site to see what show is most popular as a way of guaranteeing a sale. So go there and vote for Valerie and The Hogan Family. Both titles are listed in case the company who owns the show considers them to be different shows.

So vote!!!!

I voted for Hogan Family at tvshowsondvd. I also hope that it will retain the original titles - Valerie and Valerie's Family in the original 1986-88 seasons. Does Warner Bros. have the rights to this show?

I'm not sure. I know Lorimar owned Valerie/Valerie's Family/The Hogan Family but as far as I know, they're out of business. I know Warner Bros. now owns the rights to Dallas, which was formerly owned by Lorimar, so perhaps they now own Valerie/Valerie's Family/The Hogan Family as well.

Almost forgot. Perhaps Warner Bros. don't own Valerie/Valerie's Family/The Hogan Family but could work out a deal where they would have ownership like they did with Dallas, unless Lorimar was a company under the Warner Bros. umbrella already.

Warner Bros. owns "Valerie/Valerie's Family/The Hogan Family." In fact, I believe they own most of, or the entire Lorimar library.

I recently sent a message to the webmaster for Jeremy Licht as I came across him through work (as an investment advisor). She suggested I give CBS a call regarding getting these episodes onto DVD. Being British I don't really know a lot about CBS and reading some of these posts not sure if they'd be able to help. Am I right in saying the episodes were first aired by CBS?

Anyway, I for one would love to see 'Valerie, Valerie's Family and the Hogan Family' on DVD, probably too much to ask for it on Region 2 :)

CBS I think would be useless. Firstly, they only inherited the show for its last season, and it was a short, scattered last season, airing sporadically on Saturdays and Fridays.

NBC would be the one to consider, but then again, I don't think networks are much help since they don't own the shows outright. It's the producers and the company behind the shows that do. My suggestion is to let Warner Brothers or Lorimar (if it still exists) know that there is interest in the show. Also, becoming a registered member of www.tvshowsondvd.com and voting for the show to be put on DVD would help as well. The companies actually use www.tvshowsondvd.com as a valid resource for knowing which shows would likely sell, based on how many votes are in for a particular show.

That's your best bet. You can try CBS or NBC if you want, but their associations with the show expired once the show left the air. But perhaps they'd have some advice to give that I can't offer.
