Being a parent isn't easy, especially when you
have children. Valerie's husband, Michael, is an
airline pilot, so the job of raising their three
boys falls mostly to her. There was 16-year-old
girl-hungry David, fun-loving Willie, and brainy
Mark. Willie and Mark were 12-year-old fraternal
twins. The family resided in Oak Park, Illinois.
The original title of the series was "Valerie."
But that had to be changed in the fall of 1987
when Valerie Harper abruptly left the show. The
show was retitled "Valerie's Family." Late in
June 1988, it became The Hogan Family. Valerie
was written out of the series as having died,
and Michael's divorced sister Sandy, a high
school counselor, moved in to serve as a
sort of surrogate mother.
