First, answer these questions to find out if you are a true Walton FAN... 1. Do you know their lines by heart before they say them? 2. Do you sit on the edge of your chair when Grandpa tells a story? 3. Do you tap your foot or sing-a-long when Jason starts playing his guitar? 4. Do you feel sad when you hear everyone at the end of the show say goodnight? 5. Do you hum the Waltons theme song throughout your day? If you said Yes to any of these Questions... then You and I and All Walton Fans are extended members of the Walton Family!!! If you want to share your Favorite Walton's Episodes / Characters - please see information at the end of this web-page.
All of them, but if I had to choose... "Grandpa! I so enjoy watching him sing and dance! He is filled with so much life and joy! It is so amazing to listen to him tell stories with his great dramatics!" "I had two favorite characters: Olivia and John. If only all families could have that calibre of loving parents this world would be peaceful and a better place in which to live!" "As far as my favorite Walton, JOHN WALTON, without a doubt! I just love this gentle man, not only the character but the actor who portrayed him so realistically as well. Like all Walton fans, I love them all so much, especially Will Geer for he was, is and always will be Grandpa Walton! But it's John Walton whom I absolutely adore! Ralph Waite breathed life into John Walton and made him seem so real. "Daddy" John was such a hard working man who genuinely loved his family more than anything - a caring and loving father as well as a very devoted husband. "When I watched the series back in the 1970s, John Boy was my favorite and is still a very special character to me as is Grandpa Walton. I think now as I watch and re-watch The Waltons, I don't have a specific favorite character. I think all of them, their neighbors, Ike's Store and the Walton's Mountain itself give me a special feeling of "going home" to see old friends. To me, it is the most spectacular series ever on television." "Impossible to choose only one! Both Olivia and Eron are my favourites, i enjoy watching both of them. Olivia reminds me so much of my own mother: her strength, her kindness, also her standing up for herself when needed. That and she is really beautiful of course, but in a realistic way. "My Favorite Walton Episode is" : All of them, but if I had to choose... "The Graduation"- how special John-Boy's big day is to everyone. What a special moment it is when he gives up his brand new suit to buy a new cow for the family and the women stay up late making John-Boy a new suit out of Grandpa's old one. A beautiful story about love, family, and sacrifice! I also love "The Pony Cart" with Martha Corinne and "The Anniversary" when John builds the gazebo for Olivia and the family joins them up on the mountain to sing. "My Favorite Walton episode is all of them but the one that really touched me today when I watched it was "The Achievement", when John-Boy decides to go to New York to live and he tells John, Olivia and Grandpa as they are sitting on the front porch before bedtime. Of course they are all sad but knew this day would come as it does in every childs life. At the end John-Boy is alone outside looking up at the house and listening to everyone say goodnight and he whispers "Goodnight everyone I love you". Watching it gave me chills and I cried...this TV show really touched and shaped my life. I love all of them and I never tire of watching the Walton's. "On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being best), ALL but 2 or 3 of the episodes are at least a 7. There are maybe a dozen which I consider especially great. My ONE favorite however, has to be "The Pony Cart." That, more than any other, identifies the theme of honoring the past. When Martha Corrinne gives away her treasures to each member of the family, and later, when John-Boy takes her to visit the old home place, and finally as the camera shows her looking upward to Heaven the moment before she dies (we assume) . . . well, I've probably seen that one a hundred times, and I never fail to reach for a hankie! There's so much more I could say. "The Waltons" was the greatest family program ever produced." "There are too many good episodes for me to have one Favorite. However, The Best Christmas---the girl who gave me Erin the cat was born two days after thisepisode initially aired. The Fulfillment--the girl who would become my 'adopted sister' was born the dayafter this episode initially aired. The Last Ten Days--summarizes what had been taking place throughout the series---the Depression followed by the Great War and its conclusion. The Yearning---Rev Andy who is an only child wants Elizabeth to be his sister--and I who am an only child have a friend whom I can call my adopted sister'" "I haven't seen all the episodes, but I can think of two or three that really had me reach out for those tissues and i keep watching all the time. I have seen all the episodes up to season four and i am starting season five this very evening! The Cradle is one of those true favourites. The idea of the Waltons having another baby, the inner dilemma of Olivia, the excitement of all the children and the heartache when all falls through: beautiful. The Competition is another one, again all about babies, but also about Erin and her first real encounter with love. The jealousy between the two sisters is almost painful to watch, knowing full well they are hurting each other. The way things are alright again for both of them in the end is excellent tissue-material." "The Easter Story" is probably one of my favorites; when Olivia is diagnosed with polio. I could feel her pain, but also rejoiced with her in her miraculous healing. With each episode, I travel to a time when life didn't seem so hectic; when family, friends, and church were important; and life was taken one day at a time. Oh, that life were like that today, I believe the world would be a better place. Feel like John-Boy and Share with other Walton fans who your favorite Walton is and your all-time favorite Episode!
