I am a fan of The waltons. weneed more families like them. its hard to pick a favorite character. but, i know who my least Favorite Charactr was. it was coreybeth. she's the only character on the Waltons rthat i didn't care for.IThought She Was Arrogant, pompous amd insufferable.

[@donstanley8021]

The Waltons series is one of my favorites! I find it dificult to choose a favorite character, they are all unique individuals with their own personalities. What I enjoy is that each episode has a different story to tell with life experiences that are interesting and easy to relate to, and I enjoy watching all the re-runs!

Homecoming is one of my favorite Christmas movies. Watch it every year

[@elijahjames8837]

@FactsVerse how about a bio on Patricia Neal. Great actress and when she did Homecoming it was after having a serious stroke. Dark sultry voice underrated sex appeal. In the movie Hud, her antagonist was Paul Newman and she was not upstaged by him in the slightest.

I loved to watch The Waltons with my family. It brings back memories.

The part about Michael Learned is backward. She played in the series Nurses after The Waltons. Also, John Walton and the Grandfather in The Homecoming were different. Edgar Buchanan played Grandpa.

[@bruce8808]

The Waltons had a great cast. Besides the family Ike Godsey was a easy going storekeeper. I wish there would've been a general merchandise store where I grew up where you could drink a bottle of pop and play a couple of games of pool with Grandpa Walton or visit the Baldwin sisters where they offer some of the recipe while they tell stories. That was a great show built on family morals and values.

Will Geer was also an expert horticulturist, which is evident in many scenes of the show.

[@FactsVerse]

Fun stuff, thanks for sharing this info about Will. Which episode is the most memorable for you?

[@docadams7099]

7:48 In The Homecoming, Andrew Duggan played John, not Ralph Waite; Edgar Bergen played Grandpa, not Will Geer; Woodrow Parfrey played Ike Godsey, not Joe Conley; Josephine Hutchinson and Dorothy Stickney played the Baldwins, not Helen Kleeb and Mary Jackson; the role of Hawthorne Dooley was quickly dropped from the series; yet Grandma Walton and all the Walton children remained the same from the movie to the series.

[@Rick_King]

The Homecoming had several other cast differences, including Edgar Bergen as Grandpa Walton, Andrew Duggan as John Walton, and Woodrow Parfrey as Ike Godsey. Still a great video! And I always thought they should've made one more reunion move. The John has passed, Olivia still lives in the same house, and John Boy is living in Hollywood, helping to create a TV show about his youth!

[@Ltmotley]

LOL a few years ago I was watching one of The Waltons holiday specials I don't remember which holiday I think it was Christmas actually but anyway it ran all day on the Hallmark Channel well I started watching it in the morning and in one scene John Boy tells his siblings to behave or else they're going to get a spanking well the weird thing was anyway I only saw that particular scene one time LOL because all through the rest of the day that whole entire scene was cut out because parents were complaining about it being child abuse and they didn't want it being aired on the Hallmark Channel good grief

I DO NOT THINK A OLDER CHILD HAS THE ROLE OF SPANKING A YOUNGER ONE . I think it sets a bad precedence.

When they were mentioning guest stars I'm surprised they didn't mention Steven Bradford Culp. He has done tons and tons of movies and he has done several TV appearances; JAG, CSI, NCIS (he played a different character than he did when he was on JAG), Grey's Anatomy,(I only watched that series to see him} Code Black, I can't remember tons and tons of other TV shows he had guess roles on but I have seen him in many of them because he has a very distinctive voice lmao 🤣 LMAO so sometimes I don't even know he's going to be on the show and then I'll be doing something and I'll turn around because I'll hear his voice and I'm like 'yep that's Steven!' He's adorable. I keep trying to buy movies that he's actually been in just to see him I do have a few of them I have how to build a monster, Firehouse dog, (I have this other movie that he plays a veterinarian LOL but I can't think of the name of the movie it's away in one of my milk crates somewhere because I recently moved) The only reason why I wanted to watch Captain America the Winter soldier it's because Steven comes in at the very end of it for like 30 seconds. Lmao 🤣

How could they add the Vietnam war into the story line into the 30’ and 40’s?

[@RickStorni]

That’s what I was thinking too

[@donnacastel3568]

As someone old enough to actually live in that time frame, I thought they had moved forward in time . The girls hair dos were what we wore in that time , & JOHN BOY was doing the KENNEDY THING . I guess I was just going with the flow ? Was it one of the specials. I keep thinking it WAS a special as they had JOHN BOY ENGAGED ? The specials were not part of the series were they? Richard was back as JOHN BOY .

[@TechBearSeattle]

I am a bit disappointed that, in revealing secrets, you did not mention that Will Geer was bisexual (he had numerous affairs with men, including activist Harry Hay) and Ellen Corby was lesbian (she met Stella Luchetta in 1954, and they remained a couple until Corby's passing in 1999.)

[@malcolmdivorty6852]

A good review of the Waltons, however you said that the Vietnamese war toke place during the show . That was a mistake, the Vietnamese war started in 1975, along time after the timeframe the Waltons was set in .

[@FactsVerse]

Thanks for the correction! We'll check the video 💕

[@donnacastel3568]

Ellen was a lesbian & WILL WAS OPENLY BISEXUAL. They kept this quiet because they felt The fans who loved the characters would be unable to, accept they were played by people so different. Neither hid it B4 gaining the roles.

I don't know who made this video but it's full of baloney!!!! Michael Learned did NOT turn down the role because of a show called Nurse. Nurse came later after she had already been on The Waltons. The house is NOT a real house built in the 30's. It was a facade , not even a real house. There are no real family photos shown in the opening credits. There is no lake in the opening credits. Where did you get this stuff??????
