What's your favorite moment from the show, Sherry?

[@sherryb.9071]

@@FactsVerse It's hard to pinpoint one but my ultimate favorites are those in the beginning when the children were young and the whole family was together. Always love to see grandpa and grandma!

[@philstrachan]

Born in England, emigrated to Australia at 5. Watched this religiously, especially when my parents divorced in 1978!!! Was unheard of then. This show - in Australia - taught me what a good family dynamic was - which at 56, I have with my son. This show affected so many people for different reasons but the world is a better place with "The Waltons". ❤

I like to look past Will Greer's less than idyllic persona in real life and just like to remember him as Grandpa Walton. One of my other favorite movies starring him was one in which he also played a grandfatherly role in a story set in the fictional town of Jefferson, Mississippi in the year 1905 in which Steve McQueen also starred. The movie was titled "The Reivers" and was based on the William Failkner novel of the same name. Greer's character was simply named "Boss" and as I mentioned above he played the patriarchal role in this story.

[@ethelhoose1196]

I also loved grandma she wasn't afraid to say what she thought

[@ednatyler8296]

Sherri Saunders I enjoyed this episode too.

[@jmfitz619]

John Boys accident and head injury in season 2 was one of my favorites, as it showed how beloved the family was by the community in their support and help. And that scene in the truck when they were rushing to the doctor, Olivia tampering John's lecture, then offering her shoulder at a pillow, just showed no matter what one's age, even growing up, everyone will always need their mama..so simple, but so powerful.

[@randyearly1584]

The best episode they ever did.

[@dianecalhoun203]

I recall watching "The Walton's" with my mom every Thursday night. It was a decent family show you could enjoy without fear of violence and dirty talk creeping in on you. More shows today should be this way.

[@lynnkanerva4519]

I grew up watching the Waltons in the 70's. My parents lived during the depression, compared to the Waltons they would have been like MaryEllen and Curt when they got married. My mom and dad, uncles and aunts all lived during that time too. I've heard many stories about those days, and l kinda can relate how they must have lived when l watch the Waltons. There are so many good episodes it's hard to pick a favorite. Like millions of others, l like the original Christmas movie. One cute scene comes to mind, grandma Walton(after her stroke) is helping Elizabeth make a cake but it's missing a 'secret' ingredient. At first grandma doesn't want to tell, but then she looks around to make sure nobody else is around, tells Elizabeth to 'sshhh !' and gets a jar of 'the recipe' from under the lower cupboard. Go, Grandma! 😁

[@kristinvernon49]

I still watch The waltons everyday Monday through Friday

[@jackkircher1755]

There were many very touching moments in many episodes but the two that touched my heart the most was the one where John boy puts Elizabeth to bed and quotes a poem for her while undoing her braids. Another involved with Jim Bob and Elizabeth. It is one of the ending scenes where a developer offers a huge amount of money for Walton's Mountain. They almost sell until John Boy shows the two of them sleeping and John Boy advised his parents to build a future for them on the mountain.

[@karenrich9092]

I was a true fan. My English teacher always assigned some type of writing assignment to be due on Friday, so I would copy my final draft on Thursday nights while "John Boy" was doing his writing. I wonder how many others my age might have done that. As for my favorite episode, it's hard to choose, but The Firestorm, featuring the book-burning has the best moment. The scene when Mrs. Brimmer reads the German book and then translates it to English is heartbreaking when the crowd realizes they were about to burn the Bible. But, the look on John Boy's face at Rev. Fordwick -- well it should have been an Emmy-winning moment as I can hear the crowd at the Emmy Awards applauding. I don't know if that's true, it's just one of my "fairy tales".

[@kimberlywiederhold627]

I remember the book burning episode. It broke my heart to see all those books burn. The people should have been horrified. They were about to burn a bible.

I just discovered "The Waltons" a few months ago and it is one of my favourite shows of all time! I was actually looking for family oriented shows that were similar to shows like "The Brady Bunch" when I came across this really helpful article called "T.V shows that fans of the Brady Bunch Must Watch if they haven't already" and "The Waltons" was one of the recommended shows 😊

[@alondralabute2310]

I have been a fan of the Waltons since it's inception, first the Christmas movie that aired in 1971 when I was 12 (I'm 63 now so I'm really a lifelong fan!) It's exciting to see someone who's just discovered it. What fun you will have watching all the episodes. If you can, get the 9 season dvd collection with all the movies. You will watch it over and over. Another show you may enjoy if you haven't discovered it yet is "Little House on the Prairie" which is set in the 1870's-1880's, also 9 seasons plus movies. These are such great shows!

[@preethyawesome8278]

@@alondralabute2310 This show is addictive, Alondra! It is wonderful to hear that you were introduced to the show when you were 12 years old! 🥰I think I'll be buying the entire DVD collection for Christmas this year. I have this habit of watching individual episodes over and over again. The added bonus for me was all those WW2 based story lines in the later seasons. I did miss seeing the grandfather and the original John Boy though in the later seasons and I felt so bad on seeing the grandmother suffer a stroke (poor Ellen!), but I admire her spunk! I'm 35 years old and so many shows have come and gone from my life, but this one has stuck to me! Many thanks for recommending "Little House on the Prairie"!

[@janetduncan87]

My favorite episode is the very first one. The woman leaves her deaf child on the Waltons basement door. They take her in with loving arms, and teach her sign language. It's a beautiful story. There are others but I quit watching them when I was in my early teens. I was into other things. I just remember thinking how normal they all were, and wished my family could be like that. It was a good show, and the roles were well played.

[@kevinhoffman8112]

Did you know that was actually not the first episode they made? The first episode they made was called of the hunt John takes John boy and his buddies out to shoot turkeys. But the one episode with the deaf girl was the first episode they showed but actually the 4th they filmed

Again the radio Talking about the new program called Senior Citizens Pension which we call SSI now Grandma shows her disgusts and says that because your old doesn't mean your hopeless History books only show so much on both of these I know individuals often had unpublished views of events My dad has a letter from on of our ancestors in Wisconsin a farmer He gripes about " this upstart Lincoln " Won't see that in history books but just as important The Waltons did show family issues but also world issues and how their family and community faced them I was a kid tuning every week with my perfectly imperfect family Thanks for coving this

[@GrinderCB]

FV goofed again. After The Waltons ended, Miss Michael Learned starred in a medical drama called "Nurse."

[@Jamesalec63]

The series was held in high regard by fans around the world it showed how the world was in the 1930 to the 60s, and beyond the show it gave rise to other shows of similar popularity it won awards and the young actors who some still are in other great series or leading quite life's away from television and fame but still from time to time appear here and there on screen. It is one of the best TV shows to run on TV again and again I guess it has broken a record or two for that? I always wondered if the author and maker of the show ever appeared in the series? Did it ever actually affect political ideas or causes political change? One thing I have seen Spencers Mountain it was great and very crity version of The Woltons in places of course the film was shot in a different location to show but both have been very popular over the years. I did think the two grandparents were fantastic I think the two stars were funny and really remarkable talented actors and thought they should of had they own series? They reminded me of my grandparents it was the funny ways they interact with each other like a double act.. The first family of classic TV shows have seen some bloopers of series but not a huge amount I wonder if the show has some hidden gems?

No one could call this wholesome family drama anything but a hit ! This information was given to me by my Mother, Elizabeth. She said that she could not believe someone thought it would somehow be offensive !

[@alondralabute2310]

My real favorite episode is "The Unthinkable" which I think is in season 8. Jason's friend from the Army visits the family. He is Jewish and has just learned that his grandfather perished in the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. A subplot has Elizabeth feeling bad for being so smart the boys don't want to date her. Ted (Jason's friend) tells her about his grandpa's curses which are so funny "May you inherit a hotel with 1000 rooms and be found dead in every one of them!" He was a great character. I also love the episode where John Boy publishes writings from "Mein Kampf" Hitler's book and the community is angry with him but they think he supports Hitler, he meant just the opposite. To educate them about the mindset of Hitler so they can be prepared when the war comes.

[@notsosilentmajority1]

Reality (no longer real at all) tv has destroyed television. It has also helped expedite the dumbing down of America. Being a young man growing up in Brooklyn when The Waltons was being aired, it wasn't very relative to me and my friends. Most of us acted like we didn't care for the show but it really was a great show and it exemplified a lot of what was valued in America. These things seem lost today and television sold out with profit, profit, profit winning out over just about everything around the end of The Waltons' run. Unfortunately, television ended up controlling far too much of America's, and the world's values and ideals. The is the main reason the world is in the mess it is in today. The wrong people gained control of what controls most people.......... tv and the media. We will probably never see a similar program like the Waltons become a long term success on television. Even if were to become profitable, it doesn't fit into the "narrative" that's being shoved down our throats today. Thank goodness for reruns.
