The Waltons - After They Were Famous

[@sonjamoses2915]

I am an African American mom and my husband and I grew up with the Waltons. We even took on some of the attributes of the family, like saying good night to everyone, praying together and at mealtimes. I still watch it at almost 60 years old. Our children 25 - 32! It was a show of substance and value!!! Love it!!❤👍🏾

[@barbaracastelli9695]

Amen

[@davesprague1542]

I'm engaged in my first revisit of the series since its inception. I watched it as a kid for a few years, but never caught the reunions in the 90's, and it just went off my radar. I started about 2-3 months ago and am watching season 6 - so much I forgot, but key appearances and events send me right back to 1972-1977. Judy Norton has a KZbin channel which includes interviews she holds for her on-screen siblings.

[@sedoniawilliamson6268]

I never looked at the Waltons in the 70’s but boy am I hooked now. The series helps me to calm down after a hectic day. I love the family values and wholesomeness that comes with each episode.

[@DVPerry220]

I’m an African American and I never miss a single episode on MeTV every weekday.

[@cheetoesgal5229]

This show transcended many barriers that sadly would be present nowadays. I was addicted to the show back in the 70s, even though our parents strictly imited our TV watching time. My brother always wanted to watch Hawaii 5 O or Mannix, but he sometimes lost out to the rest of us wanting to watch The Waltons. Such a good show with authentically real values worth emulating. 😊

[@phyllistaylor4955]

I'm now 64. I watch the Walton's every chance I get. I've got so many of the series recorded and I don't erase them. My heart goes out to everyone of the "Walton" children. To see them on one of the most famous television shows ever, and then to hear how all there lives have turned out after the great and wonderful show ended. My love and prayers goes out to Erin and Ben. The trials of Ben losing his wife just brought tears to my eyes and pain to my heart. Erin for the sickness that she endured from something that should never have been invented or not educating young women of the possible risks. How sad. All and all, I've never met any of those people, but I pray that God will continue to enrich their lives. They brought so much to into our own lives. Each and everyone of them has been an inspiration in my own life. God bless to all of you.

When I was an over the road truck driver, I remember driving in Virginia, by the mountains, and seeing a sign with an arrow pointing to the mountain behind it saying "Walton family house on the mountain mountain museum", and if I wasn't driving a semi, I WOULD have gone up the mountain to view the house! I grew up watching them on Thursday nights on CBS. I was only allowed 1 hour of TV per day, and I saved the 1 hour on Thursdays just for The Waltons. Nowadays all the kids want are violence and rudeness, when they actually need more shows like The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie! They taught us about: family, love, sticking together and the REAL American way!

Having been born in the fifties, it was the practice of many, many families to have dinner together at our dining table. Seeing that on the Waltons was very normal to us. After I was married and had children, we also ate at the table every night, but after they reached their teen years, and often had one or two of their friends having dinner with us, it was a shock and sadness to hear my kids tell me that their friends were amazed by dinner at the table. This was because, in their families, that never happened. I believe that if families practiced this one activity, there would be so much more closeness within them. My own kids also eat their meals at the table with their kids, as much as they’re able to. It’s a simple blessing.

[@marciabradley7660]

I watched the Waltons every week on Thursday night. It calmed me and was a reprieve from a stressful life. Once my husband realized how important the show was for me he did everything he could to interfere with my enjoyment. Since then I have added to my guilty pleasures and he’s not one of them.

The Waltons n Little House on the Prairie were my life savers. You see, despite from being from a colourful n broken background, these shows provided me with a model that family life need not be like the one I was in. These shows taught me honesty n integrity.

What a joy the Waltons were. Enjoyed every episode. So refreshing and clean! After my father died we became poor. My Mom did the best she could raising us 3 kids. One thing I learned...my Mom didn't let us know we were poor. We had a roof over our heads and food to eat and clothes to wear. (Many hand me down clothes...but they were new to me.) Turning in glass soda bottles to get a little money....or babysitting for someone my mom knew when I was 12 years old...bringing home 50 cents an hour...and giving my Mom some my earnings to help buy groceries. It felt good to help. We didn't take things for granted like people do now. You were only entitled to money if you worked or you were a child of a Veteran. Everyone old enough was working. Lots of work to do...raking leaves...shoveling snow...running errands for someone. Oh and selling greeting cards from door to door. It wasn't dangerous to do that back then....or leave your doors unlocked all day. Cars used to have keys in the ignition. No one bothered someone else's property back then. ("Those Were the Days My Friend!" What has happened to Normal?

When our son was born in 1973, he was John, Jr. Of course he was our "John-Boy" At times we slip up and still call him that....This epic series probably has been one of the absolute best. So enjoyed this review.

[@maryannanderson7517]

My family was a lot like the Waltons. We didn't have a grandma and grandpa but there were actually more of us than there were of the Waltons because there were 9 of us and we also were extremely poor. My parents had lived through the Great Depression and when I was born they still had that depression mentality and that's how I was raised. When I say "depression mentality" I mean we were taught we must never waste anything. We didn't have to put a certain amount of food on our plate but once it was on our plate we were expected to eat it because it was unthinkable that we would let it be wasted. We ate fairly well because we grew a huge garden and mom canned LOTS of vegetables to see us through the winter but we very seldom had meat of any kind. There was no air conditioner or even an electric fan to see us through the hot summers and the only heat in our house came from a pot bellied stove where we burned wood because coal cost money and we could go out back and cut all the wood we needed for free. We had no phone. We had no television. We had no running water and no indoor plumbing. Sometimes mom made our skirts and blouses and dresses and shirts out of patterned sacks that we got when we bought a 25 pound bag of flour or sugar. Things that Mom could not make by hand, like blue jeans and shoes came from a junk shop downtown. Such places would not be called "Thrift Stores" for another 30 or 40 years and an old lady named Taylor ran the junk shop and mom called it "Taylor's Fashion Shop" and she would say that we needed to go to "Taylor's Fashion Shop" to see if we could find a pair of shoes for my brother Jim. By the way, there was none of the modern thinking that "if we buy something for one child we have to buy something for every child" because there simply was not enough money for that. If Mom and Dad could scrape together enough money to buy Jim a pair of shoes at the used clothing store, it did not even enter the mind of any of the rest of us that we would get shoes too. And, BTW, we were okay with that. I knew that when I was the one who desperately needed another pair of shoes it would be my turn to get shoes and Jim would know that he had already had his turn and this was NOT his turn. I was talking to my oldest sister a while back and I asked her why she thought we were okay with just the child with the greatest need being the only one to get whatever. I asked her, 'Did Mom and Dad just ingrain in us that just because one child was getting something did not mean that all the rest of us would get something too?" My sister's response was, "We were just not jealous of each other." Maybe that's it. If Jim needed the shoes I was very happy for him to get the shoes and it never occurred to me to be upset because I was not getting shoes too! By the way, we actually played...outside...with each other to entertain ourselves because we didn't have a TV to watch. We played games like Tag, Kick the Can, Hide N Seek, or Red Rover, Red Rover and I do not recall ever whining to Mom or Dad, "I'm bored". If any of us had said such a thing to them they would have handed us a hoe and said, "Go hoe the corn if you're bored." We also played board games like checkers (Dad made the checker board on a big piece of cardboard and we used white and dark colored buttons for checkers) or dominos and we read....a lot... and we all sang together while one of my older brothers played the guitar. Our lives were not about STUFF. Our lives were about each other. When I see the Waltons, I see US and it makes me homesick.

[@katperson7332]

What a privileged upbringing you had, despite having nothing! You had all that is really worthwhile and that’s better than riches. I too was poor but we were taught values through our good God fearing parents. The world was a much better place then. We have lost so much, but today’s youngsters will never see it that way.

Mine too. All of my Uncles on my dads side had dairy farms that we would visit regularly. We had a lot of fun playing in the hay mow and seeing the cows. My Moms parents had 30 acres of woods to explore with a pond. Literally, over the river and through the woods. We went to their house every Sunday after church. Grandma would always serve ice cream.
