Glad to be here -- Donnie H, 22:59:42 05/16/08 Fri [1]
Hello:

Glad to see so many messages posted here. I have been a devoted fan of the show since first watching it in Sept '72, when it premiered. Would very much like to be in touch with fellow fans...be able to discuss the show etc. Travelled to Schulyer in August of 1992...visited the Museum there, etc. Loved the whole experience...was a dream come true for me.

Special People -- Gina, 12:20:11 04/09/08 Wed [15]
I want everyone to know how special some of the people on this forum are. I participated in the Secret Santa this year and unfortunately never received a gift in return. True, I was disappointed, but I understand sometimes circumstances prevent us from following up on things we commit to. I had received such wonderful compliments on the truck I made for Joan, that made the whole thing worth while, gift or not. However, our wonderful Ruth, who was in charge of the Secret Santa did not give up. When her efforts failed, she took matters literally into her own hands. Today I got such a surprise! A gift to John Boy from Erin. The gift contained stationery with pictures of the Walton home and barn on it, a bookmark and pictures all with John Boy's window on them, a coffee mug with a picture of the Walton home on it, and a letter which reads: "Dearest John-boy, How are things in NY? We miss you here on the mountain. I took some pictures around the house and barn to send to you. Mama said to take a picture of your window because whenever she looks up she can picture you there writing the time away. I borrowed the camera that Curt gave to Mary Ellen. Remember when you took me to have my portrait taken? That was very special for me. You have always been such a thoughtful big brother. Little did we know then that our family would someday own a camera. I know you work long hours on your writing so I am sending you something for your late night coffee to remind you of home on Walton's Mountain. I also made some stationery so you can write to us all about your NY adventure. I hope I can visit you sometime soon. I am saving my money for a train ticket. I am longing to see all the sights and tall buildings. Everyone here is fine and we keep busy. We think of you everyday and we all send our love. Love, Erin"
How very special is that?!! Almost as special as Ruth!! Thank you so much Ruth/Erin.

Fan Mail To Richard Thomas -- Carolyn, 16:08:05 04/10/08 Thu [1]
Has anyone ever gotten a response back from Richard Thomas. I sent fan mail to address given on Forum and haven't heard anything - been quite a while, month or more. I heard he and family moved back to New York. Would love to hear from him, but have just about given up.
Thanks

Has Anyone Else had this problem? -- Nate, 23:09:08 04/08/08 Tue [4]
I purchased Season 4 of the Waltons around a year ago and noticed that none of the disks had the disk number on them. They say what season they are but not what disk. I didn't think much about it at the time, but I wondered later if maybe I had gotten a defect since none of the other seasons are like that. It doesn't really matter, but it is annoying for people who don't always get the DVD's put back in the right folder (like me!). Like I said, its too late to do anything about it now, but I'd like to know if anyone else has noticed this!

Do you think Marriages like Grandpa and Grandma/ John and Olivia are getting more and more rare these days?

Have any of you hit milestone years in yours?
And if you have, can you tell us some of your secrets for a long and happy marriage.

Funny Sayings -- chris usa, 10:56:26 03/11/08 Tue [46]
This morning on The Waltons, The Refuge. I heard Grandpa say: "He aint got brains enough to pound sand in a rat hole". I use to hear my Great- Grandpa say that all the time back in the 70"s. Or Granny say "Oh you are two peas in a pod".

Anyone else catch other sayings on the show that are funny or do you or your family say things?

The Waltons and their stuff -- Joan, 08:19:58 03/28/08 Fri [28]

Have you ever noticed all the stuff on The Waltons' set?

We've been watching the early seasons on DVD. In these years, they say that the family was poor and didn't have much. But did you ever notice how crammed with "stuff" that set was? I think they didn't some of the show's crew that The Waltons were a poor, Depression-era family. :)

Did you grow up in a house that was full of stuff?

My mother had a small collection of Hummels. That was about it. Everything else was untilitarian.

Review for Season 6 on Amazon -- Tim S, 05:11:19 03/29/08 Sat [13]
Someone by the name of "1" has posted a scathing criticism of this season claiming it completely unsuitable for family viewing. He is clearly trying to rile fans as a quick search of his other reviews finds that he give 5 stars and glowing reviews to some very adult DVDs. If enough people press the "report as inappropriate" button, hopefully we can get this removed. I would suggest not responding directly to the comments as this sort of individual will probably gain pleasure from knowing he has annoyed people.

Missed Something -- Grace, 17:01:49 04/01/08 Tue [2]
Hello Everyone - I don't know if this was posted before, but I was surprised to see Curt (actor) playing the pilot in 'The Wing Walker'. I guess I didn't remember him and by the time I got to Season 5.

Good day, everyone! I am trying to get a little writing done today and it is coming very slow and very hard. I am so aggravated, I could throw my notebook in the trash right now! What would John Boy do?

Anyway, if you could, and if you think the Good Lord has the time for something so trivial, please pray I get inspiration soon before I lose the notebook and my mind!

Thanks guys!

The Waltons Series -- Kelley, 11:59:08 03/30/08 Sun [10]
Im so glad to see all the fans here of the Waltons show. Has anyone or any group of people tried to write / petition the networks to try to have the series run again?

I loved it as a child/teen and I am loving it again as an adult. It feels as though I am watching the episodes again for the first time. Mostly due to not remembering, but in part due to relating to the show differently as an adult. I recall being a fan of Jim Bob! He was a cutie and a charmer! I was much like Eric growing up, wanting attention and being very girly girlish! Now, as an adult, I am more of a fan of John Sr. and Olivia and wish I had children like John Jr., Ben and Jason. Of course John Jr. and Jason for their incredible politness and talents, but Ben is more realistic... A jack of all trades who gets into minor trouble.

I wish we could go back in time to a depression era (which we may be heading into!). It would teach my children the value of a dollar and that honest hard work will not actually kill you! Knowing we can not go back in time, possibly we could have a little control over TV programs. The program options we have to view these days is disgusting. Even if I can come across a somewhat family type of show, the commercials during the episode for other programs are all about sex. I remember watching the Waltons, Little House, Happy Days etc...On Saturday nights my family would sit together and watch the Wonderful World of Disney.

My family rarely gets together to watch a show. My older boys watch MTV, my daughter watches Nickelodeon and my husband and I watch the local news / sports games and the Amazing Race when it is on.

I cant believe a network out there has not considered rerunning the Waltons from the begining one night a week. During the writers strike would have been a perfect opportinity to start. I would love to see a great family show back on the air and Im sure millions of other parents feel the same.

I've Missed You - OT sort of -- Lynn, 13:28:38 03/24/08 Mon [9]
It seems like an eternity since I've been gone. I'm never gonna do that again. I missed my friends, whom I consider to be like an extended part of my family. I guess the Walton's had that same effect on those who came to the mountain.

I want to thank all of you who welcomed my Jason into the fold. He was so kind to check in on the forums and keep me updated on everyone. This was his first experience on any forum, and I think he did an awesome job.

I spent Easter with Mike and the kids, Debbie and her mom, and of course with Jason. We didn't do anything special, I went to Easter service, while Debbie and her mom prepared Easter dinner, and Jason and Mike sat watching television. The kids had already tore about their Easter baskets and ate the majority of candy in them. ( I would mention chocolates, but I may excite Catie and Barb ).

Jason that little devil, surprised me yesterday morning with Goodnight Johnboy. He told me that you all knew about it. Imagine my surprise when I opened the package and saw it, but I nearly had a heart attack when I saw Earl's signature in his own writing staring me in the face. I asked how he acquired the book, and he told me. Now the funny thing is, he now has 2 books, one he purchased from Amazon, and one he purchased thru the museum. Jason wanted me to ask if there is anyone out there who is interested in the book purchased from Amazon? If so, let me know.

I have much catching up to do, which may take me days. I have to read up all the archives on here, as well as Catie's and Karen's.

I'm glad to be back amongst you all, and I hope you all had a great Easter. Much love to all.

Lynn

The Ghost Story -- Joan, 07:58:49 03/29/08 Sat [7]

This might be the only episode I haven't seen since it was in repeats on network TV.

What a good episode. Eric and Kami were especially good in this one. But everyone was good. Ellen sitting there reading the kids' book after the kids had left...funny. Michael was great in the scene where she was ironing and telling the story about the violet they found on the floor. (I love a good ghost story.)

And the music! Did any of you notice it? Was this music also by Goldsmith?

The Ghost Story, IMO, is one of the best of the series. The actors were at their best. The writing was excellent. The music was perfect.

What did you think of The Ghost Story?

Looking for an episode -- River, 17:20:22 03/29/08 Sat [3]
What is the name of the episode when Jason fills in for Ike and he lets Maude charge up a bill? SHe is charging all kinds of seeds and paint. Maude is painting pictures of birds and then they sell the pictures to cover the bill. I cannot find it on the detailed guide. Thanks!

great show -- Rachel Oliver, 23:28:51 03/20/08 Thu [21]
Hi!! I am 11 years old and I love the waltons!!! I do not have a question, I just wanted to say this is really a great show. There is a few bad words but I can live because it is minor to what we live today. The world has become a bad place. So when I watch The Waltons almost every night with my family, I wish I could go back to the time where they didn't worry about robberies, bad words, ........ other stuff I would not like to say online. I just think it is such a good family show. I just started watching this. But we (my family) are already on our 2nd season. (we got a lot to go) I hope some people will lear from this show, and feel the same way I do. Great Show!
