The etc above represents the various name changes this series underwent. Originally the 1986 sitcom was about Valerie and her family. It changed when Valerie Harper couldn't come to financial agreement with producers. As a result, in season three it became 'Valerie's Family' with Sandy Duncan added to the cast. It was explained that Valerie had suddenly died (which opened the door for a 'very special episode'). Eventually the show title would change again to 'The Hogan Family'. For the final season it switched from NBC to CBS, where it did not prosper. Amidst all the changes the theme stayed the same: 'Together Through the Years' sung by Roberta Flack (composers: Charles Fox, Stephen Geyer). Three opens representing the three titles and a few cast changes, plus the closing credits (visuals fan-made).
