Mary Jackson and Helen Kleeb stole every scene they were in. I’m watching the early season 1 episodes and there’s one scene at Godsey’s where they are effortlessly splitting the dialog - Mamie takes one line and Emily takes the next and it is seamless and smooth and very funny. They’re talking about one cousin’s wife and her struggles and they emphasize “NOT a Baldwin”. LOL. They mention that another cousin moved to Washington D.C “or some other such outlandish place.” They were great.

The Thanksgiving Story is airing right now and I'm watching it on the HallmarkHD channel as I speak! How apropos! They put season 2 ahead of season 1 , I'm not sure why except to air this two part episode but they're showing the entire season 2, back to back episodes and then coming back to season 1 on Monday,November 30th. I never knew Richard dated Sian Barbara in real life but their chemistry was obviously and genuine and very sweet. I always thought his love for her was a more mature love and true love and visa versa for Sian. That John Boy remained friends with all girl friends throughout his lifetime shows how he not only respected women, but had their respect in turn. He was a true gentleman in every sense who kept the family values that were instilled in him, close to his heart. They would guide and serve him the rest of his life. I love the hearing the backstory Judy, all the little details that we viewers were so blissfully unaware of until now. Well, most of them, lol.

Jason’s face was also pretty funny. I think my favorite moment though was when John and Olivia finally laugh about it. Jason and John Boy overhear and are relieved. Their comment about how “Daddy” just has a way about him. So sweet. I think we’ve all had that kind of moment. Hoping whichever parent can sway the other and maybe lighten your punishment. 😬😊

Thanks for the behind the scenes look. The fact that without Johnboy in the senes, it seemed like he really was gone shows how much you all got along and cared for each other.

I recall this episode especially gave my spirits a boost years ago when I wasnt able to be with my folks that Thanksgiving and my husband was in the hospital i think recovering from pneumonia. It had been a dull day and i went to see him in hospital and we watched this episode which i was probably seeing for at least the 3rd or 4th time. It was inspirational and it was like being with a family. As usual, we tensed up during John-Boys crisis no matter how many times we had seen it.

I love Eric's comments on how everyone was just really focused on "The Thanksgiving Story". I remember quite a few episodes of "The Andy Griffith Show" that give me the same type of impression; one that stands out is "Opie the Birdman", in which our pal Opie carelessly shoots a mother songbird, and feels a real sense of sorrow. Andy confronts him about it, but instead of giving him a spanking, he just opens Opie's window and lets his son hear the little birds chirping for their mama who's never coming back to them. Opie then takes over caring for the little birds until they're able to fly off on their own. The whole cast (Andy Griffith, Ron Howard, Don Knotts and Frances Bavier) just seemed so focused on the story with that episode.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It is wonderful when an episode is that absorbing to the actors and the audience.

I would like to thank you for reminding me how the "family" always found a way to remedy a situation. I came from a bigger family and it didn't always workout quite the same! You are doing a stupendous job on talking about the parts of the Walton's that I didn't know about. I liked seeing your "guest stars" appearances! So to you and them, HAPPY THANKSGIVING. The memories of the show and my own are humbling.

for the last 5 years I had been taking care of my mother in law in my home until she passed then my mom who moved in with me until she passed this last August. My wonderful son got me the whole Walton series with the specials last Christmas, something that I had always wanted. with my Mom being so sick and in and out of the hospital all the time I was unable to watch them until just now, almost a year later....I have always loved the Walton's but even more so now with the passing of my mom. I have always said if I had the money I would build me the Walton house...your show has been a true blessing, thank you again !

I remember an episode where John - boy was trying to break out with his writing but even though his long hand writing was as good as possible, he was told his writings must be typed. I think it was a big deal then to own a typewriter, but Grandma intervened and saved the day getting one for John - boy. I think I remember him saying “ I cherish you Grandma”. I have not checked anything, that is from my memory going back to when it was on the show in the 70’s. So that line stuck with me a long time.

I think it would have been a funny running joke actually. Every year, the Baldwins ask if they could adopt one of the kids now thinking it’s a totally reasonable request since they have seven for goodness sake. And John just responds “Sorry, no. We are not giving away any children this year.” I recall seeing this episode (or parts of this episode) relatively recently and I remember thinking, “John Boy had brain surgery and apparently had to have his head shaved. His hair sure grew back fast to the length it was before surgery!” 😂
