I was in high school when The Waltons were on TV - this show was one of our family favorites. John Boy played a part in encouraging me to pursue my own dream of being a writer. The scene where he explains to Mama about what writing means to him always brings tears to my eyes.
Funny scenes:
Hawthorne Dooley (Cleavon Little) with John Boy at Miss Mamie's and Miss Emily's trying to borrow a car.
Charlie Snead (William Windom) - the turkey thief.
The missionary giving away toys to children who can recite a Bible verse ("Thy two breasts are like two young rows that are twins which feed among the lilies. Solomon Song Chapter 4:5")
Goodnight, John Boy. Merry Christmas!

I loved this show too. My whole family would watch it together. It was inspiring.
What a great show - family drama, with the humor and silly bits and melodramatic bits - a lot like real life.
Belle: I'm so glad it's still playing in reruns....a new generation can now enjoy the Waltons!
Craig: Yes, it has everything. A heartwarming Christmas story -- Love it!
