My latest experience watching The Waltons -- Catie, 18:55:57 03/26/08 Wed [25]
I watched The Waltons yesterday for the first time in a very long time. I have always compared my Terry to John in the way he loved Olivia. :) Since Terry died the show has been difficult to watch. But I had a few free minutes and got caught up in watching this week. I made it through the entire 2 back-to-back episodes without crying!!! :) Y'all already know, of course, that it was about Mary Ellen's wedding. (I tried to tell her she should have married David, but- another story for another time) When it came to the scene where John pushes Olivia in the swing, I smiled. I honestly had never paid much attention to that particular scene before yesterday. On our 3rd date Terry and I went to a local park with our $1 burgers and afterwards he pushed me on the swing. It brought such sweet memories to me. How can one not find something to love about that charming program?!! Wonderful!

VHS Walton's Tapes -- Marie in Boonsboro, 19:02:06 03/27/08 Thu [6]
I was just thinking about all those Walton VHS tapes I have that I bought from Columbia House just sitting not being watched. The thought came to me that maybe a nursing home would enjoy them. I know my Grandma would say how much the Walton's reminded her of when she was young growing up. Just a thought if anyone else has them collecting dust - If they don't want them do you all have any other ideas? I don't want to sell them. So much cheaper for people to just buy the DVDs.

I must share this .... -- Jacki-LadyPoet, 13:18:08 03/26/08 Wed [4]
Well, after reading about the Easter stuff on here, and what I've been dealing with Dad, other things in my life, I must share this poem I wrote....perhaps others may feel from this as I have....Thankyou all for being a continuing source of friendship and inspiration and to Earl for creating the Waltons, I certainly feel at home here and with the show....

" GOD IS CALLING"

I hear and sometimes see
This essence following me
Keeps me safe
Shows me the way
Even at times when I do astray
In times of sorrow and fear
Always for sure in laughter
Definitely in joy
This life journey I'm on
Many reflections along the way
To know of the presence
Guiding me everyday
Many colours in brilliance
As radiant as the sun does shine
Always to be respectful
Loving and kind
The Spirit moves me
In poetic gift indeed
God is calling...

© Jacki-LadyPoet~2008

John/Olivia---Grandpa/Grandma -- chris usa, 21:41:59 03/22/08 Sat [28]
It has been said on here that John/Olivia met when they grew up together and then at other times said they just met later.

Has it ever said how Grandpa and Grandma met?

And if you have ever been married or are, how did you meet your spouse??

Easter with the Waltons and my family -- Pat, 12:55:02 03/23/08 Sun [7]
I woke up early this Easter morning unable to sleep. I recently purchased the 5th and 6th seasons of The Waltons and I have been watching them in order and I'm in the 3rd season now. So I started my day with a few episodes of my favorite show of all time. It's such an excellent way to start any day but as I watched on this Easter morning I reflected on past Easters when my children were small and living at home and how much like the Waltons we were and are. I love when the family sings together whether it's "On Top of Old Smokey" or "Amazing Grace" or Christmas carols. The music of the Waltons is fun and uplifting.

I haven't been to church in months because I am disabled. I could go but I pay a heavy price physically if I do so I've decided not to go until I am well, but today my children were singing and also my grandchildren, so I went. I have six children and they are all very talented musically. They can sing and they use their talents often to entertain everyone. The choir was small, only 11 people and 3 of them were my children (my other children live far away) and as I watched and listened I was glad I made the effort to go. They would all make eye contact with me and smile and even though they are grown I could tell that they were so glad that their mommy was there. That was reward enough and then my son's family sang. My son and his lovely wife have 5 children ages 10, 8, 6, 5 and 2 and they had been asked to sing a song called "When He Comes Again". My grandchildren didn't know I was there but as they were singing they saw me and just beamed. It was wonderful!

The Waltons (a family that I love) and my family, yes life is very, very good!

HAPPY EASTER!

The Baptist Church -- Nancy in VA, 20:01:32 03/14/08 Fri [6]
I've been watching An Easter Story for the second time in just a few weeks time. It's my favorite episode, and I always watch it around Easter. I'm puzzled though by the church. Why is it that in some episodes, the Baptist Church is a tiny, country clapboard church, and in others it is a large white colonial type church? It seems to go back and forth between seasons and episodes. That strikes me as strange! Anybody know why they did this? The smaller country church is more realistic to the church in Schuyler, VA.

found a Fan Mail address for a Walton Extra!! -- Ryan James Littley, 14:28:17 03/15/08 Sat [2]
Found another fan mail address for an extra in The Waltons season 3. His name is David Ankrum and he made his brief appearance in the episode entitled “The First Day”. He played the fellow who tells John-Boy:

“Now let’s hear a heartfelt apology for your
Inexcusable behavior Walton”

This scene takes place 15 minutes and 22 seconds into the episode. I’ve sent him two letters so far, but haven’t heard anything back yet; the address does work though, as some of my friends have gotten successes using it. Here’s a recent interview he did for a forum that I’m a member of:

http://www.thebothanspy.com/interview.php?intid=9

I’ve also included a couple of screenshot of the scenes for other to see. He’s the guy wearing the white slacks and Dark/Light brown checkered sweater.

For World War II buffs -- Elaine Klonicki, 18:20:55 03/18/08 Tue [6]
Some of you know that I re-published my uncle's WWII memoir last November called Normandy to the Bulge. He did a pre-interview in the fall in anticipation of appearing on the Bob and Tom syndicated radio show out of Indianapolis. Shortly thereafter, he unfortunately lost his voice, and we learned that he had thyroid cancer. He had an 8-hour surgery, followed by complications, and has been in the hospital for a month. He's a toughie though, and just today he finally got moved to a rehab center. Hopefully he will be able to start radiation treatments. Since he can't speak, the radio show decided to air his story, and provide sound clips from the earlier interview.

His book is full of fantastic stories, but you can listen to two of them on this website. Scroll down to Richard Courtney's Incredible Story, turn your speakers up, and click on each of the Audio clips below. I had to click twice to make them start. It will make you proud to be an American.

was by none other than Earl Hamner. Being of Cherokee heritage, I really enjoyed that movie. We are all familiar with his Twilight Zone stories, the screenplay adaption, Charlotte's Webb, and Falcon Crest, but gosh there is SO much more! When I go back and read the list of Earl's credits I find it amazing to review his works. Such talent. Did you know that The Night Before Christmas: A Mouse Tale (2002)(TV) based on Clement Moore's inspiration, was written by Earl?! The list goes on and on. Not to mention in all of his work with The Waltons, I think he narrated over 210 episodes! No wonder I admire him so!

Just wanted everyone who kept me in their thoughts and prayers to know that both my wife and my car have made full recoveries. I am so grateful for any prayers received... what a miracle! I will keep all you in my thoughts and prayers as well. Hope you all have a WONDERFUL week!

Schyler, VA -- Kelley, 17:37:39 03/16/08 Sun [10]
I was wondering if anyone has ever been to Schuyler, VA. I was thinking about taking a weekend trip with my family. I have seen on a website they are having a fair in April and thought this would make it a bit more enjoyable for my young daughter. I would love to visit the museum as well.

I have an image in my mind of a small town, uncommercialized, where everyone knows everyone. I would think twice about going if there is a Dunkin Donuts on every street corner and a GAP within a 5 mile radius. I can stay here for that!!

Anyones opinions/experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks

Episode Wed morning -- chris usa, 10:33:01 03/19/08 Wed [4]
This morning where Selena Linville (sp?) tries to get John -boy to go with her to spain. I have seen this episode many times and Selena always looked so familiar, but I just couldnt place her. Until this morning, I think she looks like a actress that played in a movie, there is also a book called "The Promise" if memory recalls right and that is a big IF, lol it was back in the 80's does anyone know if I am right??

Inconsistencies -- Joel U., 13:19:03 02/03/08 Sun [50]
Howdy Ya'll,

I was just thinking and it seems to me that shows back in the day didn't take care of details that were mentioned in episodes beforehand. Why don't we open up a discussion (I like long posts!) about different inconsistencies in the Waltons that drives us batty.

Here are few off the top of my head.

1. In 'The Literary Man' in s.1 Earl says that the Waltons never see A.J. Covington again, although he does return in s.4 in 'The Abdication'.

2. Jim-Bob has two birthdays. One mentioned in 'The Runaway' in s.3 and the other in 'The Secret' s.4.

3. The get different actors for charachters all the time such as for Nurse Nora or Buck Vernon or even John-Boy.

4. Curt dies in s.7 and comes back (what was it?) s.9? (I haven't actually seen it yet.) AND THEN HE'S DEAD AGAIN IN A TV EPISODE!

5. Erin is 15 when Chad comes to Waltons Mt. in 'The Competition' in s.4, and yet she graduates the next year in s.5 'The Graduation' I think that was the episode. I just don't think she was like 'The Genius' (s.4) who was at boatwright university at the age of 16. Lol!

Countless others but I let them come in the replies!

Open for discussion.....

In Christ Jesus,
JRU3

Walton's a "ray of hope" -- Kelly, 15:51:11 03/12/08 Wed [9]
Hey, everyone! I'm new here and just wanted to say "hello". It feels like I'm lurking, just browsing everyone's posts and all... thought I'd better introduce myself so I don't feel so much like a stranger.

I'm thirty-three years old, and I used to watch the Waltons with my mom and dad when I was younger. In fact, up until I left home we had a tradition of watching "the Homecoming" every Christmas Eve together before bed.

Recently, I've gone through some rough times. My wife got sick, then my car died, etc... etc... But I found a bit of hope one day when I turned on the Hallmark channel and found the Waltons. I hadn't seen an episode in over a decade and had forgotten how comforting it can feel to just sink into the cushions with a hot cup of tea and let yourself wander onto "Walton's Mountain". In this world of fast paced living, single parent homes, and so on, it is refreshing to imagine yourself about seventy years ago- working hard in the mill, or writing a poem as the whipper-will calls... listening to the sounds of your family downstairs as they laugh and tease each other playfully. It's not just "like" another world- it IS another world.

Anyway, it's nice to have found this site and forum. I hope to visit again soon, and I hope the Hallmark channel plays the Waltons every morning for a very long time.

Ahh...Spring is soon upon us.....Waltonish inspiration... -- Jacki-LadyPoet, 11:47:26 03/12/08 Wed [7]
Gidday gang from the library..

KRISTI>>>WELCOME BACK ON HERE !!!!

Ah, after the masive dump of snow we had here in my neck of woods...I want SPRING now !!!! and so:

"SPRING IS UPON US "

BEHOLD LIKE THE SPRING ON WALTONS MOUNTAIN
WHERE EVERYTHING IS FRESH AND NEW
FLOWERS BLOOM UP IN THE MOUNTAIN MEADOW
ADMIST THE HOMESTEAD CRUMBLES
AND GRANDPA WALTON'S GRAVESIDE TOO
THE WILD DAISIES AND WILLOW TRESS
SING AND DANCE IN THE WIND
THE SOUND OF THE BIRDS CHIRPING IN HARMONY
AWAKENING OF DRUCILLA'S POND
WHY THE REMNANTS OF WINTER SEEP INTO OBLIVION
AND THE EMBRACING WARMTH OF BREEZE CALLS TO US
TREES ANTICIPATE WITH BUDS AND BLOSSOMS
JOHNBOY EVER SO INSPIRED AS HE SITS
PONDERING HIS WORDS OF CREATION
JASON MUSICALLY CALLS OUT
MARY ELLEN AND ERIN , REFRESH THEIR LIVES
AND BEN AND JIM BOB TO EACH THEIR OWN
GRANDMA'S COURAGE AND PERSERVERANCE TO CARRY ON
JOHN AND OLIVIA CELEBRATE THEIR ZEST
THE BALDWINS EVER SO CHARMING
IKE AND CORABETH WITH AMY
INTERTWINING AT BEST
YES TO LOOK FORWARD TO BE RENEWED
THE SOUL EMBRACES
SPRING IS UPON US...
