Dear Nick at Nite Viewer Services,
I have a proposal for Nick at Nite: to make a deal with Warner Bros. Television for Nick at Nite to become the exclusive home of the hit 1986-1991 sitcom "The Hogan Family," which originally cast Valerie Harper as Valerie Hogan, the matriarch of 3 boys--teenager David (played by Jason Bateman) and fraternal twins 12-year-old Willie (played by Danny Ponce) and Mark (played by Jeremy Licht), as well as wife of airline pilot Michael (played by Josh Taylor).
After the first season, Harper was fired, which resulted in a long legal battle with the network. Meanwhile, at the start of Season 2, the show changed its title from "Valerie" to "Valerie's Family," with Sandy Duncan taking Harper's place as Aunt Sandy, Michael's divorced sister and high school counselor.
The following fall, in 1988, the series was rechristened once again as "The Hogan Family."
Tentatively, Nick at Nite shall welcome "The Hogan Family" to its regular schedule starting Monday, March 1, 2010 (24 years to the day of the series' debut) with a week-long marathon titled "Nick at Nite Meets The Hogan Family," a 4-night event showcasing some of the most memorable episodes of the series as originally aired on the NBC Television Network.
After the event, Nick at Nite shall air "The Hogan Family" regularly weeknights starting at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Sincerely,
Grundoon Katt
