Small Tribute to the Waltons

[fastfrizzle]

Jim Bob was the cool Walton, he had a tatoo and built his own car, distilled his own fuel and ran the antenna for the first television and had a ham radio that reached England.

[jsrosa1282]

Does anybody know what season features this theme? If I had to guess it's probably from the 9th (and final) season, since it's definitely not the 1st (unique in its own way) or any of the later ones.

[daltonagre]

I saw some episodes of this TV serie, here in Brazil.

[cheyenne86]

The waltons came on hallmark every morning for about 2 years ... then they took it off again. I miss it.

[TaMaLu08]

Tears..=´(

Remembers me in my childhood..

[goconniego]

I love this show and I watch it on DVD! Go Waltons Go!

[tama33us]

This series was one of my favoirtes and then along came The Little House on The Prarie. Both wonderful tv shows. We will never see the likes of them again.

[klropft]

Not to mention Dr Quinn!!

[marquito182]

Na minha infancia esta seria a familia ideal : grande e unida .

Tenho muita saudades desta série ..

[pghpa611]

If all you can comment on from this amazing show is the recipe, then I feel you missed more than you could ever comprehend,

[DarkMurmillo]

Agreed, damn alcohol anyways.

[xofuntimeox]

cool

[possumtail]

Several versions of The Waltons theme music....this one is the best one.

[ORBSTEWBALL]

I've always adored THE BALDWIN SISTERS and thier legendary 'recipe'.:)

[ffej980]

back in those days most everybody made homemade booze...thats the recipe...bootleg booze...my family made it too...and everybody had a family handed down recipe...wine...beer... whiskey...you just had to know who made the stuff...some of those old brews could kill you...

[torchidman]

I have to say that this was an all time fav TV show of mine...........Getting back to the way we were. A much simpler timee. No Barrack, No Hillary. No politics, buildings being crashed into, unethical doings on Wall Street............I can go on and on.......Please, if you havent seen an episode of the Waltons, do so before you make a bad reply back to this post.....I be ready....lol....

[serilopr]

whats the waltons?

[dan5060]

fab

[ffej980]

i grew up on a farm like this...you always had grandpa and grandma around...and we were close to our family...it was a nice life to grow up...we picked berries...for jam...that my mom made...it was a good country life...

[lavey321]

wow, what a contrast from how i grew up, in a inner city, grandpa had died young in the pits, grandma was to scared to go out at night. pa was an unemployed drunk, ma worked herself to an early grave lookin after us 7 kids. and we went picking coal off the streets after the goal merchant had been....ahhh the good old days

[ffej980]

life was not easy on the farm...we worked hard on and off the farm...just to keep the place...we were and are not simpletons...it was having a strong family...that made living on a farm...a good way of life...WOW

[lavey321]

thanx 4 reply, what sort of farm was it. and what made you leave,,, if you did leave.

[ffej980]

it was 140 acres...and you could pick peaches from the tree and apples too...we still own the farm...but we trouble with local developments...when i was growing up i never knew anything but that we lived on a farm and we could just walk out into a grove and pick or gather fruit and vegetables...but the neighbors were hard to get along with... we had nice gardens where we grew our our vegetables...we sold watercress...have you ever smelled fresh watercress...thats what i am talking about...

[ffej980]

on the fringes of our farm new people moved in that were not used to farms...they wanted McMansions and country life...with the grand views...they forgot that people haved lived on and enjoyed farm life for years...they started dumping garbage on our property...and complaining...about roosters crowing...and cows...and tractors...we had to get a Right to Farm ordnance passed so we could still run our farm...we never bothered anyone...but we sure did get bothered...

[drummerkid71]

I would love to hear some stories of you growing up on a farm like this.. I find it fascinating.

[ffej980]

what i can tell you is this...it was the biggest place you can imagine...fields...fresh cold water springs that you could drink from...and peace and quiet...in summer the fruits would get ripe we had mulberries...strawberries...ap­ples peaches...blackberries...of course there was poisin ivey...i visit the valley in virginia where the real waltons lived...and it is nice there too...thats all i can tell you...

[drummerkid71]

amazing!!!

thank you.

[TaMaLu08]

Your comment is long time ago...

But I like the way you described this..

Thank you..

I wish I could see it too...

[77msmade]

@TaMaLu08 Every time they put something on you like they never leave it ,I wish they would bring the Waltons back!!

[TaMaLu08]

@77msmade

Yeahhh.. unforgetten family...

[jerd1]

Nice selection of pictures. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

[pinknightstand]

I remember watching as a child with my family when it first ran. I love shows like this and "Little House On The Prairie." It is good we get the Hallmark channel because I can enjoy these shows again practically every day! Oh, always watch "The Homecoming" every Christmas!

[LMorgan1234]

Thanks for posting this. The Waltons is the best show ever done on TV--The cast, the writing, the set, the costumes, the production design, the acting--Brilliant--every time!!

[LMorgan1234]

Actually, I have recorded every single episode and every single special and the pilot ( with Patricia Neal) . Can't beat this show.

[oonabella]

You gotta love the Waltons. Family unity comes from love and respect. It might look sugary to some people, but that's the kind of sugar that is healthy. Thanks.

[neworldorder65]

seems kind of sad to have gone from the waltons to shows like sex and the city and csi. personally, i think it's time to re-evaluate our priorities.

[Edsongs1964]

Minha familia toda assistia,nao perdia um episodio.Eram como uma familia de conhecidos me deu saudade.

[mistsfromthepast]

I love the "sisters"!

[xXlonelyspiritlXx]

My mom and me loved this show! i used to watch it with her when i was really little, but then it stopped showing on t.v. =( Which really sucked. i want it to come back on!

[Geraldwell1]

This show is on every morning on the Hallmark channel 7am and 8am.

[woodylove06]

i love this show it was so good

[Leanne60]

i loved them then, and now.

[andrewbarrett42]

How many episodes were there,it seemed to go on for years.

[caseyboy97]

We Have Seasons 1-5

[BigMapleFishThing]

My family still sometimes shouts "Goodnight Mary Ellen!" "'Night John Boy!" from our bedrooms.

This show was classic. I wish the were still airing reruns.

[iamreallycool2]

not sure if you are or not but here in the USA they show reruns on the hallmark channel monday thru friday at 8am and 9am

[castingtherunes]

I believe John Boy could not survive the cold, cutthroat, technological confines of this century.

[TerriShares]

No better "Family" show of all time.

[kirkenbunken]

If I'm not mistaken "The Waltons" was the first show on American TV to have an all African-American cast.

[georgejand]

thankyou for bringing back such happy memories, I used to wish that I was part of such a loving family & havig John Boy as my eldest brother

[OrlandoBloomIsCute]

I love this show. Its sweet how they get along so well.John Boy is sooo sweet :)

[EvieJK]

My all time favorite show ever--I have the DVD collection along with my M.A.S.H. collection

[HammerJackson]

I loved that! The only thing missing was a still shot of Reckless the dog.

[sarajomara]

man, i loved this show.....

[mickeyh1961]

Great show & characters, part of my childhood was watching the Walton's every Monday night. Sadly America & the World has gone somewhere else, happier days then. Thanks for video

[Rachelgould66]

I used to watch this with my mum...who sadly died in 2005. Thanks for the happy memories.

[16084840213]

I like this show alot. I am 25 years almost 26 when I watch these old epsodes it remids me of my grandparents younger days. Why did you not show The Grandparents of Olivia Walton?

[blueironbutterfly]

Thanks very much for making this .. The Waltons were like another part of my family when I was growing up, aspirational in some ways ... happy memories

[ohhhwolfy]

That was a very nice tribute!

Several years ago I was in Schuyler, VA which was the real home of the Waltons. We even stopped in the general store they patterned Godsey's store after and bought a few things. The Walton home is really pretty ordinary. We were told Jim-Bob still took care of the home and if we were around at the right time he'd let us in and show us around, but he wasn't there.

I really loved that show.

[KMelKang]

just Perfection! Magnifico!

[ATVmidlands5581]

great short tribute well done. i loved this series which i saw on BBC1 during the 70's. its a lovely series. fav episode is the 'the fledgling' i never forgot that. a truly remarkable show which we dont see the like on tv anymore sadly. thank you

[snowmonkie44]

oh and i almost forgot!!! i was also named after little Erin Walton!! my mom was also a huge fan of the show! hehe!!

[Hindasound]

Hey, my sister also named my niece Erin after this show! (And I named my daughter Shelby after the movie "Steel Magnolias" :)

[snowmonkie44]

i was way too young to remember this show but i do remember watching the reruns with my pop-pop! this show brings back so many memories. and John (Sr.) reminds me so much of all the pictures i've seen of my pop-pop when he was a younger man. thank you so very much for making/ posting this!!

[tubeeorrnottubee]

An A+ tribute, THANK you!

I had the privilage to meet Ellen Corby, by chance, sitting in a shop near Farmer's Market in L.A., soon after the series end. A very sweet lady, with even sparklier blue eyes than we saw on the tv~ You're Ellen Corby, right?, said I. She motioned with a twinkle as if to say "Say again?" I did, adding You're MY Grandma TOO! She glowed, reaching up to hug me. She could hardly hear, or speak, but left me with a vivid memory of a special lady, just as we knew her to be :)

[Warren1962]

Ellen COrby was a great actress. If you ever catch the episodes of either Andy Griffith or The Beverly Hillbillies that she was on you will have a good laugh! A very funny lady!

[jeanandbilly]

I thinl I'm gonna cry.I loved this show.We'd all sit together and watched it.Never missed an episode.The tune alone gets me all emotional.Ellen Corby was indeed a fine actress.And as funny as Irene Handle in The BHs.I think she also appeared on & off in Peticote Junction.

[seizetheweakened]

I think the show was created by Earl Hamner and was about his family. My all time favorite playboy was the one with Mary Ellen in it!

[waylander101]

Thanks for loading and bring back memories ....

[starrydaze]

Cheers thanks for posting this. Love the Waltons. Its in times like these it is nice to go back to when things and life were less complicated. Thanks again :)

[tomsnowboo]

The family it was based on wasn't called Walton, but if you watch the credits carefully you will see the name of the person whose life it was based on. Thanks so much for posting this clip, the series wasn't everybody's cup of tea, but I loved it.

[guynielkim]

i love this story since 2o years ago

[threeicys]

(sigh) memories

I STILL love this show, who ever did the casting, did a brilliant job. The characters where very real to me as a child. I envied life among the wilderness...I live in the mountains now but still have to envision that wonderful front porch the Waltons family had... (sigh)

[sambda]

Cool.  Ralph Waite should have got an Oscar for underplaying his role. The rest was, pretty much, standard Culver City methedolody.

[rajsan04]

if you type in The Waltons in google you will see information on the real Walton Family and probably see pictures of the real house, general store, etc, the tour. If your ever in Virginia you should go there.

[Wellch]

Was that a younger John Ritter as the pastor?

[avonleagirl]

yes it was

[diamante04]

Yes, John Ritter played Reverend Matthew Fordwick on the show.

[thepen10]

Nice job on the video! My grandparents used to tell me stories of what it was like to live through the depression and between those stories and watching the Waltons, I definitely learned a lot about those times. Maybe the kids today should take note and see what it was like to live during those times. Maybe then they wouldn't be so greedy and learn to appreciate what they have.

[mthivier]

I used to love "The Waltons" for the first five years, but it was never the same after Grandpa died and Grandma had her stroke.

[rajsan04]

You know the Waltons are based on a The Real Walton Family in Virginia, Ive been up to see the tour of the real house and the general store, nice little town

[footslave2903]

Really, I did not know that..I just liked the series as a kid and use to love the series music although it would always make me sad(emotional )

[sanzapombo]

Best family show ever...I was crazy about Mary ellen...she was hot...still is

[soprano123]

I heard alot about this show but I never saw it, because I was so in love with Little House. However, recently my curiosity about The Waltons was aroused, so I purchased the First Season DVD. I checked out a few episodes, and I loved them! The chemistry between the actors was so real and genuine. This was a fascinating and terrific show! I'm still learning more about them, though, so if anybody has any websites about them please let me know. I love what I'm seeing so far though.

[oneandatwo]

My brother was a prop builder on this show,and I got to visit Warner Brothers Studios to watch them film an episode. I accidentally got in the way of where they were filming, when I thought I had gotten out of the way...:D

[pinkpash]

thankxs awww its so sweet lol xxx

[athena2uk]

[rehowei]

[MagicGogo]
