Sandy Duncan replaces Valerie Harper

They used the Family Matters font.

Why didn’t her glass eye get its own credit?

Sandy’s “glass eye” is as notorious as Petula Clark’s colostomy bag.

Leave my leg out of this.

Doesn't Sandy have a wonky eye?

Sandy Duncan did not have a glass eye.

One of her eyes was blinded, but she left it in her head.

Actresses who use their husbands as managers….

I dont remember what happened to Valerie? Did she die?

Yes R8. But with the good eyes until she drew her last breath.

And Val didn't hold a grudge - she specified they serve Wheat Thins at her memorial.

Tough break Sophia one minute you’re entertaining the masses the nexts you’re on a foot covering a corn-pad. No you know how Valerie Harper feels!

Love is such a sweet insanity!

Sandy's totally protecting her glass eye the way she catches that ball.

On the electronic version of the New York Times obituary for Haroer, I commented, "Thank God we still have Sandy Duncan." The other posters were not amused.

Star Spangled Biatch

How did Valerie die? Chlamydia or syphilis?

R16. Neither. It was mpox!

[quote] Sandy's totally protecting her glass eye the way she catches that ball

To reiterate: Sandy Duncan did not have a glass eye.

I’ve got my eye on you, Val.

Valerie.

Both cunts

Full opening for the Sandy version. They were wise to update the scenes with the sons as they had grown.

What’s the Sophia corn pad joke about?

MAD magazine spoofed her show FUNNY FACE in a TV Guide descrption as UGLY FACE starring Fatsy Pumpkin.

I kinda liked her in Star-Spangled Girl

George Glass's favorite 90s thrash-rock band!

I always get her mixed up with that big-toothed broad from "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"

I just looked at her IMDB and she's only worked very sporadically since The Hogan Family. I also looked at her husband's Wikipedia (he's a choreographer) and he also doesn't seem to have many credits. How do people like that support themselves? Assuming she invested well, would Sandy's earnings from the Hogan Family have been enough to live on for the rest of her life? The show ended in 1991--that's a long time to make that money stretch.

^ DUH, Peter Pan residuals.

She gets paid in peanut butter.

Ennui, R16.

She's on Shark Tank now.

Don Correia was perhaps one of the best three male dancers of his era along with Hinton Battle and Gregg Burge. He was smart to know enough is enough and went into real estate and became quite successful. I think one of the sons, the not gay one, also went into real estate.

3 teenage boys and the dad-that's a lot of permacum for Sandy to clean up. And with only one good eye.

She can polish her glass eye when she cleans everything else.

now I have a craving for Wheat Thins

[quote]I dont remember what happened to Valerie? Did she die?

Yes, she was beheaded in a horrific car accident taking the twins to softball practice. That’s why the boys always felt so guilty. Same with DJ Tanner. Same with Charlie Salinger and Kevin James’s wife and Roseanne Conner. Why they put these horrible deaths in sitcoms I’ll never know. It’s not funny,

Valerie took Tylenol and died!

Why were the two younger sons “twins” when one was clearly Latino?

Which one is the Latino one? I can’t tell.

WTF, why were Jason Batman’s friends in the opening credits?

When the show first started, Jeremy and Danny kinda looked alike. As they aged, Danny grew normally. Jeremy was always small for age. During the second season, they stopped using the "twins" part because Danny was getting much larger than Jeremy. Jeremy was also way cuter than Danny.

I remember having a major crush on Jeremy Licht.

Waa Valerie right...did the studio do her wrong? Suzanne Sommers was ostracised after she tried to get a raise on 3s company....John Ritter was paid 5 times more.

Didn’t Danny Ponce get involved with an old bag while still a teenager and appearing on this show? He played Laura and Richard’s son on Knots Landing for a couple of seasons.

I always thought Jeremy Licht was gay but he’s been married twice and has two kids.

R44. You're thinking of Taran Noah Smith on Home Improvement.

R40. And as punishment, they gave one of them AIDS...

sounds like conservative urban legend

I loved the show when it was Valerie.

They should have paid her what she was asking.

R48 exactly

I only remember this show as a vehicle for smartass Jason Bateman.

I saw an episode of Body Language filmed at the same time, and Jason Bateman had girls in the studio audience screaming like he was a Beatle.

I like the episode centered on Sandy Duncan’s nude portrait and it’s affect on her impressionable nephews.

Wait, which one had AIDs?

Jason has a huge cock.

Interesting that no one else decided to go with Valiere.

Was Sandy Duncan a stewardess that John Taylor met on the job? She seems the type.

I love how the Valerie character’s death is barely mentioned once Sandy and glass eye show up. The kids and husband didn’t really seem to care she was dead.

You know David was getting laid by Mrs. Poole nextdoor.

I have to laugh at how Valerie gets dressed up to meet Josh at the airport.

The shoulder shrug as a comic device in both clips.

Jason Bateman really looked like he could've been the biological son of Valerie Harper and Josh Taylor. The other two sons looked like they fell off the Gypsy wagon.

R48 = Neve Campbell

This show would've been much better if Valerie had a daughter.

At least Sandy had the good taste to use a different picnic tablecloth.

Josh Taylor's character must have had a sidepiece. No way was Valerie was satisfying him.

No way was Sandy satisfying him either. He must be gay.

Jason's hole was satisfying him. Dad and son play in the trailer.

Sandy and her glass eye played his SISTER, you assholes! They lived in Chicago, not in some holler in Kentucky!

Wait, how did Sandy Duncan replace VALERIE Harper on a TV series called VALERIE'S Place?!

They should have renamed it Hogan's Sheroes.

We always thought a slow mo of rhe glass eye instead of the baseball in the intro would have won over more people 👁️

Here’s the intro with the ball segment that should have been a glass eye

I was 11 when Valerie debuted, and I wanted Jeremy Licht to be my boyfriend.

Danny Ponce was too chubby and Jason Bateman too old.

Could not have cared less about the shrieking harridan in the kitchen or how many working eyes she had.

Jason Bateman was the only reason this show survived.

NBC had a hard-on to make him a star. After his recurring role on Silver Spoons (1982-84), they gave him a lead role in It's Your Move (by the future Married With Children producers), which was canceled because it dared portray an amoral teenager.

If Jason hadn't been part of the show, they would have just yanked it after Valerie walked. They had no shortage of comedies competing for slots at the time.
