A Walton Thanksgiving Reunion (1993 TV Movie) 6/7

[carolyntcb]

Dear Grandma, God love her.

[HardyRules2]

was grandma right in the head? I know her voice was gone but whenever she delivers lines, it seems like her mind was gone too?

[tmwalkerm]

@HardyRules2 she'd had a stroke years before, her speech was never the same after that. Plus the actress was easily in her 90's when this was filmed.

So how did the old bastard get credit to buy a truck when he said he never borrowed money before?

[OneSmartKitty]

Oh GOddd!! AAWWWHHAaaahwwaaa!! I'm crying at every corner!!! Awwwahahaaahwwaaaa!! Someone please,pass me a tissue.(sniff,sniff).

[16beest]

i wish they would be more accurate; even with the inaccuracies this is still a great reunion movie

[tmwalkerm]

@16beest yeah I agree, first there's no mention of John Curtis, or the son Charlie that Ben and Cindy had. John Boy was with another woman in another special, Jane I think her name was. I liked her a lot better than this one. I wish too that they had explained what happened to Virginia since that was such a major part of the plot.

[16beest]

i feel sorry for that poor old truck

[88Willhur]

Mary Ellen couldn't have anymore kids in one movie. What happened there? 

[beckys4672]

ok, Where's John Curtis?, Where's Charlie?

[hardluckboogie]

@beckys4672 John Curtis is talked about in I think clip 3/7 he died in war

[LaikVictoria49]

@hardluckboogie @beckys4672 John Curtis is Mary Ellen's son, not husband. Curt died in war, then Mary Ellen found out that he was actually alive, but was totally different so they divorced officially. Writers apparently just decided to leave John Curtis out..

[hardluckboogie]

@LaikVictoria49 Yes sorry I remember now he was outside cutting wood when Mary Ellen came up and he did not know who she was. Thanks

[MyFreedomChannel]

@LaikVictoria49 FYI ... Mary Ellen did have a son with her husband,Dr.Curtis Willard during the regular show - they named him John-Curtis, after his father and grandfather.

Men are never good with dates! :-)

[fbcmember03]

I still remember calling the walton my family when i have children i am going to name soem of my kids after the waltons GOOD NIGHT JOHN BOY.

[redfordforpresident]

@fbcmember03 John-Boy must be related to Boy, the son of Tarzan and Jane.

[ArwenPendragon]

@fbcmember03 Please, please do not name any of your children Jim-Bob.

[bigdonbowski]

John says it was 15 years since grampa died? this is supposed to be 1963? grampa died in 1941 didn't he? thats 22 years if i am not mistaken

[mthivier]

yes, they screwed up on of the dates. And a bigger contradiction came in the third reunion special, the one after this one, which was set in 1969, where John and Olivia were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary (which would have put their wedding in 1929), but when The Waltons began, it was set somewhere around 1933, and John and Olivia had already been married for 15 or 16 years and had seven children, so they would have been married somewhere around 1917 of 1918.

[redfordforpresident]

@mthivier John Walton wears suspenders, like time suspension. The date inconsistencies are done on purpose. At the beginning of this reunion show, John-Boy says people get older but nature stays suspended in time.
