I honestly didn't think anything too much about all of it. Some people just aren't too friendly, and sometimes things just come across abrasive over a computer screen. Bid-side-manner isn't too easy to express over a computer screen. Our lack of in-person communication limits our personalities.

Never knew that before now. We learn something new everyday.

I haven't read anything about Sandy Duncan being on GOOD MORNING, MISS BLISS. That doesn't mean it wasn't so, but I thought that property had been touted for Hayley Mills fairly into the production process. Again, I could be wrong. Either way, that formula wouldn't have worked. It was and will...

But it's funny how all television stars that want to call their bosses' bluff get fooled and get replaced instead of getting their demands met. Farrah Fawcett pulled out of CHARLIE'S ANGELS, and while ABC tried desperately to keep her, they eventually realized she wasn't returning, and they put...

I've often wondered about how the Sandy Duncan situation was ironed out. Apparently she was already under contract to NBC to star in a comedy, and the network decided to usher her into the troubled VALERIE (which would naturally undergo two subsequent title changes) as an "easier" way at...

They had Sandy Duncan, and maybe they wanted to erase Valerie Harper and morph the show into "The Sandy Duncan Show".

What little bit I've seen of the show in syndication, it's always been under THE HOGAN FAMILY title. I think they tried to blur the two eras of the show into a smoother transition, but I'm sure if one were actually to see it all in order, they'd see just how fractured and drastic the changes...

And it may have even climbed higher up the charts had Valerie Harper not decided to bail on the show. While it generated interest, it probably hurt the show's reputation overall.

I can understand that theory. Shows that often have troubled backgrounds and drastic cast changes don't typically do well in syndication or in home media sales. When Valerie Harper walked out on VALERIE, the network re-titled it VALERIE'S FAMILY, which I think was really a ploy of the network...

I believe Valerie Harper, her husband, and the network all settled outside of court, and that's when VALERIE'S FAMILY, which was originally VALERIE, officially became THE HOGAN FAMILY. I would assume that all her rights or royalties surrounding the episodes were resolved then because I've seen...

This comedy started out as VALERIE and was a star vehicle for television star Valerie Harper. Once Harper and her husband pushed the network for more money, she ended up walking out on the show hoping the producers would relinquish the money request and bring her back. A highly publicized court...
