Syndication
The Hogan Family aired in U.S. syndication on local television stations, from September 1990 until Summer 1998. Stations that carried the reruns included WPWR-TV in Chicago, WPIX in New York, KTLA in Los Angeles, WTXF in Philadelphia, KTVU in Oakland, WSBK-TV in Boston, KTXA in Dallas WBDC in Washington, D.C., WGNX in Atlanta, WDWB in Detroit, KHTV in Houston, KSTW in Seattle, WLAX in La Crosse, and WEUX in Eau Claire. From August 1998 until August 1999, startup broadcast network PAX TV aired reruns of the series weekdays at 4/3c.
ABC Family currently holds the U.S. syndication rights to the program and began airing episodes twice daily in September 2006. They have discontinued running the show since then. The Crossroads Television System currently holds the Canadian syndication rights and began airing the show Wednesday nights. They discontinued airing the show in 2011.
The theme was shortened in the opening credits when the show was in syndication. During the Valerie seasons, the title sequence becomes slow motion at the scene where Mike and the boys begin to tackle Valerie in their football game. The Hogan Family title is displayed here for syndication. For the third season episodes, the title shot from seasons four and five is used for reruns, where The Hogan Family is displayed over the Hogans carrying their picnic items through the park. This deleted the scene where Sandy runs out to the baseball diamond to try and get the bases unloaded. The latter was where the Valerie's Family title was shown on NBC airings, with The Hogans appearing over the park-walking scene.
The only episode to retain the Valerie title in syndication was "Bad Timing" (2/8/87), which also kept the original parental advisory disclaimer that followed the airing on NBC. Even when the special episode was later released to home video, with The Hogan Family title being featured on the cassette cover, the Valerie title was not eliminated from the opening sequence.
