Trivia:
In the final scene of the series' final episode ("The Revel"), the remaining Waltons family members and the Godseys gather at the Baldwin sisters' mansion for a party. As the sisters thank their guests for coming, the viewer can see that several unnamed guests have joined the crowd. These are none other than series creator Earl Hamner and other long running crew members, giving the scene a wrap party look. more

Need More TV Shows Like This One, 12 July 2004
Author: meows11 from Roanoke, VA

Both my parents are dead and gone, but where raised in the Southwest mountains of Virginia during the depression, as Baptists, they along with myself and other members of our family watched this show every week. Several of us still watch it every morning, it comes on here at 7 am, it's a great start to my day. Every episode may not be exactly as some remember, that lived during that era, but it's a lot more true to life than most of what is on TV today. It would be nice if there were shows that even came close to this one, made now. Children and grown-ups alike could benefit from acting a little more like the Waltons, than a lot of people they try to imitate from TV in this day and time.
