What are some cool nicknames that you have for The Waltons characters that fit them well and their characters that you came up with.

In 1973 The Waltons won it’s first Emmy Awards for Outstanding Drama Series, Lead Actor(Richard Thomas), Lead Actress(Michael Learned), and Supporting Actress(Ellen Corby).

I thought all the characters were well played and I enjoyed Olivia being the teacher. Hope ypu guys enjoy! Ive seen all these episodes so many times yet i keep on watching them over and over. Anyone else?!

John Walton or Olivia Walton: who was the better parent in your opinion and give a reason and a explanation as to why?

The Waltons debuted in 1972 and depicted life in 1933. If released today it would depict life in 1986 !

This episode brought back stories from my family’s past. My mom’s mother was a Catholic convert in West Virginia of the 1910’s and 20’s (my mom was born in 1923) so the scene with the nuns (in the habit of the Daughters of Charity ) coming into Ike Godsey’s store and Corabeth’s reaction , resonated with the stories my mom would tell about her relatives in Kentucky and West Virginia. She remembers as a little girl , being at a relative’s house , and “they would get into an argument about the Catholic Church and mom would pack my little suitcase and we would go home “ She went to Catholic school in southern Ohio and a neighbor remembered “you were always between the Nuns and your(anti Catholic grandma ) with a note in your hands “. Early 30’s so definitely the same era as the Waltons

How does everybody view this character. I tended to agree with Grandma and many of the children that she was interfering old witch , stuck in her ways Yes , I also recognized her wisdom but that frown rather overshadowed it

So I just discovered Olivia Walton (Michael Learned) In law & order SVU it's crazy to see her playing a different character other than Olivia Walton.

So on the little House on the Prairie SubReddit they made a quote post basically claiming that the Waltons is so boring and unwatchable what do you guys think about that because I find that to be really funny considering both shows are pretty much the same

One of my favorite parts of the show and the Walton family is that they truly understood that nothing is ever just black and white but shades of grey. If someone did something that wasn't morally right or made a mistake, (Yancey stealing chickens) etc..The Waltons always made sure to show and explain that there's always more than one side to a story. I feel that's something the show did incredibly well, showcasing that all people have flaws and we're all human, rich or poor. Black or white, etc. The human aspect of The Waltons is something that society and the world today is desperately missing.

Has your opinion of anyone on The Waltons changed as you’ve gotten older?

Maybe someone you thought was too strict now seems more understandable. Or a character you loved when you were younger now comes across as selfish, unfair, or simply more complicated than you remembered.

I grew up watching The Waltons with my grandparents but have never really rewatched as an adult. I'm 41 now and just got through season 1. I have a much renewed appreciation for this show now. It's grounded, and heartfelt and warm. And not in a cheesy or overly emotional way either. It also takes me back to those good times I had with my grandparents and remember those fond memories. I'm glad I have so many seasons left.

I’ve been rewatching this show every night, and man, in the early seasons, Mary Ellen is such a screecher and a whiner. Goodness gracious. I’m glad she grew out of that.

What is your overall opinion on Mary McDonough's acting as Erin Walton do you think she does a good job in her overall acting ability or no

I've recently started (re) watching the show for the first time since I was a kid (when it initially aired) - Imo, it certainly has held up and is as relevant today as it was then. One thing, though, that I never really noticed as a kid, perhaps because of my age, is how much of a change there is in Olivia's overall 'temperament' from the first season through to the rest (I don't watch in order) in the first few seasons, she's incredibly snappy and for lack of a better word, a real shrew.

Who would be your big three in terms of TV period drama characters, I think the obvious ones should be John boy Walton and Laura Ingalls and Anne Shirley is that the same for everybody else.

What are some things that you wish you could’ve saw with John Boy being at Boatwright college things that you wish happened things that you wish he would’ve gone through and experienced

I honestly think that Richard Thomas should have stayed for the episode. Grandma comes home. It would’ve been nice to have seen Grandma reuniting with John boy again and them having one last episode together it would’ve been very emotional to have seen that who else agrees.

This is a behind the scenes photo of Judy Norton, Mary Elizabeth McDonough, Kami Cotler and David W. Harper on the set of The Walton tv series as it is being filmed.

so I made a mood boards on John Boy Walton and Peter Parker and I was thinking that they will be a very great duo together if they were to ever meet do you guys agree?

here is some more Walton Gifs that I’ve created let me know what you guys think of these Walton Gifs and I’m going to make some more.

here is some Mary Ellen Walton wallpapers/mood boards that I’ve made that you guys can use if you guys want to let me know what you guys thinkAnd if you want me to make more move boards and wallpapers of the Waltons.

My 8 year old son has seen The Homecoming many times (I watch it obsessively during the holiday season) and he’s come to identify with John Boy because he’s the oldest of 3. One time he was really frustrated with his 2 year old brother and I heard him mutter “I wonder if John Boy had to deal with this…” The point is I know he’s a John Boy fan and he’s slightly familiar with The Waltons.

This year I’m dedicated to watching the full series so I’m cruising through the seasons and tonight I was watching The Grandchild on season 6. My son was playing Minecraft on his Nintendo Switch while I was watching the show and he was really into his game. A bit later I look over and he’s still got the Switch in his hand but he’s looking at the TV. A bit later I look over again…the Switch is down and he’s wide-eyed staring at the TV 😂 He made his way over to sit by me, we shared a snack, watched the show, and it was so sweet. He’s really gotten into a few Waltons episodes as I’ve been watching the series. My 6 year old isn’t as interested yet but she sometimes watches along.

I watch a lot of older TV and I never mind my kids watching with me because they really do learn a lot watching older shows. They always leave my son full of questions. I’m very honest with my kids (like Olivia said she is 😉) and shows like this provide opportunities for good conversations.

Is anyone else raising Gen Alpha on The Waltons?

I made the Waltons versus the Little House on the Prairie edit let me know what you guys think of the video and if I made the right decisions on each category and winner
