The Waltons Best Scenes: The Book Burning (S5E5 The Firestorm) | The Recipe: The Waltons Podcast

[@tubewatcher155]

It would not surprise me one bit if someone who was there told me from the moment Richard Thomas started that scene no one else in the scene was acting so much as they were witnessing one of the best performances ever made in a TV show.

Great observation!

[@mizmiki65]

my favourite scene from this series; have never forgotten it after all this time

[@stevemitchell5990]

I still get chills after all these years. God bless Flossie Brimmer for all the courage to stand up. My favorite scene of all time.❤

[@kevinhoffman8112]

Now that's what I call powerful television!

[@therecipewaltonspodcast]

Absolutely! TV with a message

[@karenrich9092]

This is my favorite scene of this episode.

[@therecipewaltonspodcast]

Richard Thomas is awesome!

[@DarylMB]

I saw this episode when I was ten years old and it made me cry. It is one of the most powerful things I’ve ever seen

[@therecipewaltonspodcast]

Thank you for sharing - we think a lot of people out there experienced the same! Such a great episode.

[@leettaallen4316]

He is a great actor.

The real reason John Boy wanted to publish excerpts of Mein Kampf was to educate the community on what was going on in Germany

[@ColleenBenson-ft1vz]

This is one of my all time favorites,

I sure miss you, john Ritter....

This scene and the Dinner Table scene in the All In The Family episode, "The Draft Dodger", I consider the two most powerful moments on TV.

[@rrgrealish]

Powerful!

[@RobinMagley]

May be a strange thought. But for those of us who came across this video, it was for us to hear. Could be that there is a John boy who needs to stand up and say what needs said. Or a little sweet grandma who has to set down and listen and pray. GOD has a time and purpose for all that is done.

[@valtovey3676]

It’s amazing acting & one of my favourite scenes ❤

[@therecipewaltonspodcast]

Agreed!

irony of this scene the 2 in charge of burning were men of god and everyone joining in this book burning were religious people and they about to burn the holy bible all because it was written german

In the beginning God the heavens and the earth and the earth was without form and darkness was on the face of the deep and God said let there be light

Perhaps the Republican Party especially Ron DeSantis needs to watch this

[@scotttheroux1538]

Perhaps the COMMIE democratic party needs to understand this.

[@WolfDaimyo]

Perhaps both sides need to understand this no?

[@susanb2015]

​@@WolfDaimyoNo the Democrats are burning the books.

​@@scotttheroux1538 They're not the ones banning books. You don't get it at all.
