The show was created by Earl Hamner Jr. and was based on his book “Spencer’s Mountain” as well as the film adaptation of the book. This fantastic story is what helped create this memorable show. But what really made the show stand out was The Waltons cast members.
Sadly, many of The Waltons cast members are no longer with us. Let’s look back at their incredible careers. Their life’s journey can serve as an inspiration for you to pursue your own dreams.
The father of the family was John Sr., played by Ralph Waite. He was a prolific film and television actor whose career lasted for four decades. He died in 2014 at the age of 85.
Grandpa Walton was played by Will Geer who began his career on stage in New York before moving to California to pursue his career in film and television. His role on The Waltons became the role he was best known for. He died in 1978 at the age of 76.
Ellen Corby played Grandma Walton on the show. This was one of her most notable roles for which she received three Emmy awards for her acting. She had a prolific career in film and television that spanned several decades. She died in 1999 at the age of 87.

I'm one to buy my old favorites on DVD. Like Night Court, Star Gate, The Waltons, The Beverly Hillbillies, and others as well.
What happen to John Curtis and Virgina . Two babies on show

I still watch The Walton's on INSP and METV.
Grew up watching "The Walton's" was a great show, to bad they don't make more great family oriented shows like this. It dealt with lots of real issues.
same here
Yes like Little House on the prarie
So true!!! I grew up watching them. When I was raising my children I made sure they watched the re-runs. I think a show like that would work now.
@@tammypalmer3793 Young people these days don't seem to like the stories of people the way it was during the depression years. I do find a lot of the shows depressing these days as the times of goodness are waning. It never was one of my top favorites. Have no interest in reruns.
@Barbara Kight, yes you are correct younger pre adult kids don't care to watch these shows. Just as I don't care to watch some of the garbage they watch!
I still watch The Waltons, and Little House On The Prairie..I love those shows.
Me too
I love the Walton's I love the way they lived
So do I. They remind me of my childhood and bring back so many awesome memories of growing up.
Me too
Yes I do to I order both of the
Watching the Waltons everyday keeps me centered. I love the program. The writers are clear thinking and our times need it. I hope there are lots of people who enjoy it also.
Thanks for watching, Jean!
I watch it.
I love The waltons. I watched the series countless times when going through severely emotionally traumatic times to calm me and reestablish my hope in humanity. I think in these trying times we especially need this type program once again.
Same here and now I watch them for pure pleasure!! Can't thank the cast, crew and show makers enough for what they produced!!
Yes me too. My mom and Dad died last year. It has been so hard on me the greif. My mom and Dad loved these shows. When I watch the shows it helps me. I feel connected to my mom and Dad. Like there still here with me. These shows helping me get my life back together again

I grew up watching this & I STILL watch it Mon - Fri at 5pm right after Little House on the Prairie with my 82 year old Mum 💜
I still love it. Brings us back to a simpler time.
@Lesley Warnock: I watch it at the same time, after Little House! My husband watches with me.

I love the Waltons . We need more TV shows like this that are family values based , todays TV shows are not fit for kid to watch .
Whish. We had more. Movies. Like this
Modern Family!!!
They haven’t been fit to watch for kids since MTV came on!
Some of us don't WANT our children indoctrinated in all of the religion BS.

We need clean family shows like The Walton's and The Andy Griffith show today.
Ralph Waite stayed at the hotel I was working in in the mid 1980's. I remember him as one of the nicest, kindest celebrities I had ever met at work.
I would have loved to have met him.
Wow that is cool
The Waltons is still one of my favorite shows. I tune in daily enjoying the reruns. So sad that many of the adults who were in the cast have past on.
I love this show I still watch it when it comes on.
Brilliant show loved it growing up
But not surprising.
Welchen Programm?🌺
Ellen Corby was pretty as young woman back in the day !!!! Would like to see some of her early work .
The Waltons was a great show I wish we had shows like that on TV today
@Carl Ferrigno Unfortunately, I believe you’re right. At least many channels are playing the reruns.
Exactly
I watch it n at toon hallmart love seshoes
"The Waltons" was my favorite TV show. My husband, Gary, made sure I was always home on Thursday night at 7:00. Thank you, Gary.
The Walton’s is a wonderful family movie series, we need more of these!
Thanks for watching, Francine!
I started watching this in my late teens and carried on watching with my mother who could empathise with the characters, having grown up in those tough times. I enjoyed it as much as she did. I would happily sit and watch it again, but having seen the actors in other acting parts over the years and now that my mother is not with us it would not feel quite the same.
I'm so sorry about your Mom 😔
Maybe if you could see it again it might bring back some sweet memories. Just a thought 😊. Once again, I'm so sorry xx
Yes
Maybe it would conjure up some great memories of you & your Mom. I'll bet during the time you watched it with her it started a lot of conversations of what it was like when she was growing up.
My mom loved to watch "The Waltons" because it reminded her of her family, for there were three generations living together in one house during the Great Depression and World War 2.
We were very blessed we had 5 generations in one house, grandma, mom, me, my daughter and my granddaughter, along with my dad and baby sister
Sounds like the Waltons
I think a show like The Waltons is what we need today. It's about family it's about faith it's about caring it's about love it's about needing one another
Amen Amen Amen. Please writers get on the ball for something worth watching with one's family. Lots of laughter, some Faith, lots of respect for parents, families eating at the table together and having nice conversations and saying grace before meals teaching children how to be grateful for what they have and not to grumble and disrespectful to their parents and elders. It's so lovely to see that kind of life and it is real life teachings. No cursing around the home. Children doing chores and using their time constructively and not glued to a television set instead of completing chores and their homework. I could go on and on.
Yes bring back a show like the Waltons
.
Oh good God no !can you imagine what a PC world would consider a to be a family nowadays?? It would be a perverted joke.
Yes absolutely, I watched every single episode of the Waltons and I watched the original film that started the television show every time they had it on the air. When the show went into reruns I watched it for literally years. It was a true family show and I loved it very much.
Thanks for watching, Jane!
What year were they takin off prime time did they make it into the 80s? Do u remember?
Jane ..do you remember the Dick and Jane puff and spot school books ?
Watched as a kid , Bec. My dad did , and in reruns later Chan. 24. UHF st. Louis .....loved Mary Ellen , and Erin , John boy charecaters.and Jason was just plain CUTE !!!! I would get mad at grandma because she was always yelling at the kids !!! Yes, they had a loving family , but at times like at church , ect. It would get kinda " preachy " and would see how married women weren't " allowed" to work outside home , even though family was poor !!!! I noticed that as 9---11 yr.s old kid l was ,. I knew plenty of women that worked , had their own interests , hobby's , , ect..and could think for themselves ....
Loved little house shoe too , l could identify with Laura especially .......could not stand Nellie Olsen !!!
I think an offering of a show like the Waltons should be tried for today's viewing. Maybe it'll inspire some unity among our youth.
I start my day by watching this show
Wouldn't make it. They'll cry racism. Then have to cast every freaking thing Hollywood can think of.
I loved the Waltons .
In a way THE WALTONS done in this way describing family life with all the good and bad sides and including the hartships of the time was a a trendsetter for many other shows like in WAREHOUSE 13. Jack Kenny one of the leading Producers always made it a point to bring out the actors on in the stories as a family. That explains The Waltons déjà vus I had watching that Fantasy Show.
Glad for reruns.
I loved The Waltons when I was little! They all had an amazing relationship between them!
Ralph Waite was also know for playing the father of NCIS character Jethro Gibbs, played by Mark Harmon.
And he also played Booth’s Grandfather on Bones
One of his last gigs was on a soap as a priest
Ralph Waite played the father of Kevin Costner in the movie, the bodyguard. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
And he was in " cool hand Luke " with Paul Newman !!! Those nice blue eyes . ..
The walton's will always be the best tv series written for its time, I own every episode and every special
Yes love the Walton's...I would love to see a good wholesome series again.
Yes I would love to see more series like the Waltons, a show that is for people of all ages.
Beliefe it or not but watching The Walton´s together with my mother ss a juvenile she had used the scenes from THE WALTONS to explain to me how our family had lived past World War II in the Americn Zone.
The whole era was just about glossed over though.
The Waltons was one of my favorite shows. It's a shame about John Ritter passing the way he did. I loved him in Three's Company. He was such a funny guy! Being the voice of Clifford the big red dog was not mentioned. After he passed, it stopped airing and a new one was made. Not the same without John.
Wth, he was voice of Clifford , the red dog ???? Holy cow , didn't know that !!! I used love watching that with my kid !!!!
Yes! We need more TV shows like the Waltons. I watched this growing up and am still watching repeatedly. Wholesome and clean. It would be a better world if there were more shows like this to watch.
Thanks for watching, Patricia!
The Walton's was a brilliant TV program . We need more show's like this today . Not the rubbish TV keeps putting on 💗❤️🖤💚♥️🧡💙💛💜🇮🇪
Yeah but the young generation of today isn't interested in wholesome entertainment like the Waltons or little house on the prarie for that matter .

@@christophertsiliacos8958 Could not agree with you more. What is out there now on TV is plain garbage. the Waltons & Little House on the Prairie were wholesome family oriented shows. Something that this generation know nothing about.
We need more tv and movies such as the Waltons. Everyone can watch them, from one to one hundred years old. The Waltons is a classic !
I strongly agree
@@lucybyrd1810 yes we do
Need more family shows like this on TV. And on cable channels so people can afford to watched them as well. Love all the old shows
@@teresanunnery0406 Ich auch🌺
Another job well done! I think a show like the Waltons is needed on TV today. Seems there is a lot of junk on TV today. That's why I rarely watch it. Thank you for your little walk down memory lane.
Thanks for putting this together. Yes, The Waltons and shows like them still resonate today because they deal with real life situations and personalities and the heart. We need to keep these show on the air so to speak and keep creating more like them in today's time. As a kid I never missed seeing The Waltons on CBS TV on Thursday nights. I also had the pleasure of meeting Richard Thomas (John Boy). Still a great actor and a very kind man. Cheers!
Greetings from Holland, we love the Waltons.
Greetings from Bayou, La, Batre Alabama. We love the Walton's too and little house on the prairie, Bonzana, Andy Griffith, all the good stuff
@@portiaroberson5601 Enjoy it my friend.
Yes I loved the Walton there’s not enough shows like that anymore that’s way the kids are so screed up today!!!’
I saw John Ritter in a play in Denver. Even more dynamic in person. His is a sad loss.
I wish we had more shows like this with wholesome values. Love watching the re runs.
Ralph was great and played that dad so understated.
Yes it wasone of the all time greatest shows you never got tired of watching the waltons. And the world needs shows like this loveing careing and always helpful life was like that when i was a kid it needs to be remembered and appreciated it was a great show and always will be great actors
It might make it if you could fine the right Actors to play the parts and it would have to have family morals
Loved The Waltons, yesterday, tomorrow, forever!❤
I grew up with the waltons and I have purchased the whole series and I loved it it reminds me what family do for one another I still watch it to this day
Thanks for watching, Stacey!
I love the Waltons. I grew up watching this show. I'm 57 now. Iu still watch it. Best show ever. I wish my life was simple like that.
I used to love the Waltons! I watched it in the 70s as a child 🤗😍
I don't think it would find an audience today if it was a new series, though it is one of the best series made.
I think if they did a family in the 50s would be kind of cool ? That was a fun era of American 🥧pie..lol
I have watched the Walton's for years and I still watch all the reruns. I Love that show.
The Waltons was inspirational and beautifully made TV programme that is still highly relevant today. I watch it daily and it’s is amazing how the episode of the day will parallel the world situation in our time. The acting was consistently outstanding, the stories so real and easy to relate to and it presented the deep spiritual values of my upbringing and many Canadian even now. It’s way at the top of the list if not #1 in television history! We need more like it now, where faith, Hope and love and mutual respect for each other is lived out daily by our society!
Loved the Waltons and also love all the comments here. Nice to read all the kind warm memories other folks have.....
"Good night John boy."💖
I'm 64 and my family started watching it with the First Thanksgiving Special. We loved it. Mama abd daddy too. It was depicting the years they grew up too and same lifestyle. Their families were farmers and cotton pickers. And everynite We went through the "Good night, John Boy!" Routine with us all saying our names. There was 4 of us kids 6 thru 17 at the middle 1970's. Of course, we said this while in bed and after lights out. Drove our parents crazy. But we heard them one night talking to a neighbor friend and they were laughing about it too. We kept up the tradition till the last kid left. And when we visit each other and spend the night we still say it!
Good night Mary Ellen,
Loved watching this show when it was current and still enjoy watching the episodes. Many, multiple times. Even though I am not from Virginia and didn't live through the depression in a small town, I could always relate to the characters and their strong work ethic and their basic, honest, nature. Like many viewers, grew to be very attached to the characters feeling like a "family member" is lost whenever any of them passes away. Thank you and RIP all!!
And they would help.their neighbors or anyone ,like stuck on road , ect.....ppl. more helpful then
Glad to have the Waltons on DVD, we truly need this type of program again today... Real... Educational...Entertaining ...and God-Based.
We NEED shows like this again. Wholesome and clean.
YES! It would be awesome to have less violence and crudity on T V.
No one under sixty would watch it.
we love watching the Waltons that’s one our favorite TV show
Originally it came on Sundays about 8PM on channel 2 or 7 in the 1970s
@@neilgibbons2532 I watched on channel 8 at 8 on Thursdays
Love the Waltons! I watch the Waltons now in reruns. Never get tired of the show and the interaction between the characters! 👍❤️😊
Thanks for watching, JuneAnn!
Absolutely love the Waltons, the family and community values presented, does apply for all generations but is not being practised at this time. During this time of pandemic, I find great comfort in watching The Walton’s and Little House on the Prairie, these shows are priceless and timeless... Just watched Elizabeth on a date going to her spring dance, isn’t she adorable 😍👋👍🏽
The Waltons Was definitely Loved by many for good reasons
It was a good heart warming family show.
I've got the entire series on DVD and have watched every episode more than once. Loved this show, couldn't leave my parents house to go home until the night's episode was over.
BlondiNativeAme3- So do I , including the original pilot movie, The Homecoming. Earl Hammers first movie was Spencers Mountain.
I love the Walton’s I watch it every night I love all the the People ho took part in it I wish they would make more tv shoes like it today and I also love little house on the pr k
Childhood memories
Humbly I must say,
that I was blessed to be a cast member on The Waltons for 3 seasons and l looked forward, every single day, to the fun and the camaraderie that was always there.
My role was the Walton family’s favorite Radio Star,
the Singing Cowboy,
BOBBY BIGELOW.
All the music that you heard us perform was performed LIVE just as you saw it on film. No pantomimes or lip syncs.
The producers had insisted that I be responsible for hiring the real musicians to be my band THE HAYSTACK GANG.
So I hired my longtime friend and amazing musician, Billy Graham, to play the fiddle.
Billy was also the fiddler for Glen Campbell and after appearing on The Waltons in several episodes, he was unable to make our filming schedule because he was on tour with Glen.
So I was fortunate enough to locate the perfect person to fill the role. The man who could play the fiddle super well, and also look the part of a classic Country Music Fiddler was Oscar Whittington.
Oscar Whittington, from Bakersfield, was a true
Classic Country Music Fiddler of the Highest Caliber.
Sadly, both of those wonderful men, who never failed to delight us with their fiddle playing, deserve to be a part of this
“Tribute to the Cast Members who have gone on to their
ETERNAL
BLESSED REWARDS”. 🏆🥇
I watched the Waltons every week. I still love the show, more than ever.
Ellen Corby was also in It's A Wonderful Life. She asked Jimmy Stewart's character, George Bailey, about borrowing a small amount of money from Bailey Savings and Loan.
I believe Beulah Bondi was also in The waltons as they spoke and she was the mother to George Bailey in It's a wonderful life
She also had a bit part in Hitchcock's Vertigo and many TV roles, including Lurch's mother on the Addams Family.
She was also on and episode of Andy griffith
Her romantic interest in "I Remember Mama" an undertaker named Mr. Torkelson, was played by Edgar Bergen (without Charly McCarthy) they married and had a babu
She was also in the movie THE BIG TREES,
I loved this show reminds me of growing up during the depression times. And I still watch reruns today and still love them
I would love to see a heartwarming show like the Walton’s again. People WANT and NEED to see the simple family things…..and God and Love.
Loved the Waltons. I still like shows like thst. They don't make enough of them. They are so refreshing. The family had a lot of love and was a great 3xample how respectable children should be raised to love one another and every body else. Manners was something that is lacking very badly in todays world among young people. It's sooo sad.
The Thanksgiving was a great episode and storyline as well and a favorite!
This show lives on in Reruns, I doubt it could be remade today
I wouldnt want it to be..There can only be one Waltons, and Hollywood today would make it Politically correct. Destroying the wholesome message it sends out,, and injecting their own self serving garbage.
They are! It was announced about 2 months ago. Only Richard Thomas will be apart of it. And he will only be narrating. Also Judy, that played Mary Ellen talked about it on her yt channel.
It's funny....so many believe it was a wonderful family show, yet wouldn't work today. Are we all in our 80's?
Loved this show and still watch the reruns. Really wish we had shows like it today.
Thanks for watching, Melinda!
I and my husband love watching the Waltons we bought the VHS tapes and watched them so much they wouldn’t play anymore then when the DVDS came out we bought the full set of them and we never get tired of watching them.
We still watch them on Dish network and yes we wish they would come out with another family show such as the Waltons our country needs that right now especially with everything going on like it is I think it would do excellent!
The Cook Family
I enjoyed the Waltons. It made you realize life has its ups and downs back then also. I think the show wouldn't be a hit with the young audience of today. They have been corrupt with to much sex and violence especially with some of the music if today. As for me I miss the good old days !!!!!
Would love to see the series again,loved it.
We need more shows like the Waltons
The Waltons was a wonderful family program. The young and old could relate to every episode. Our children grew up with Walton kiddos. Too bad our grandchildren don’t have more programs to have great moral values taught to reinforce what’s trying to be learned in our homes.
Thanks for watching, Christy!
You're so right. It must be difficult for parents of today's youth to find suitable programs....instead of folks hopping into bed after the first date.
The Waltons was always a favorite of mine and my mother’s. I believe, in many ways, the Canadian series, Heartland shares many of the Walton’s characteristics.
Really? I never knew there was a Canadian show similar to the Waltons? Wonder if the show would be on utube?
I so agree with you about Heartland. It was great until they made it politically correct in a way that didn't fit the country life plot AND starting showing less and less of the horses and Amy dealing with their issues.
Heartland was a about a strong,even though unconventional family, but they tampered with the success of that.
Grew up with & loved the Waltons along with Little House. Resonate today? I kinda doubt it.
The Walton's could watch over and over again fantastic wish there was more things like that on tv everyone loved it
Thanks for watching, Alan!
Yes we can use a show like the Waltons today. I remember the family all watching together. And Little House on the Prairie, these shows were a must!!! There are hundreds of stories out there of good living. I for one am tired of shows filled with such darkness.
Thanks for watching!
Yes it resonates today and I think that’s the reason why it always is continuing to be reruns to this day.
Baby Boomers and older seem to be the only ones interested still in shows with morals and values ... this is still one of my favorite shows! I did bring my kids up on it, but they aren't interested any more ... I have little influence. 😔
I still watch the Waltons to this day loved it when I was kid I still didn't see all the episodes to this day ❤🍁
Too
I still watch it everyday on ME TV. I love it
Absolutely.....a show like this would still resonate today. I know for me....I grew up watching episodes of the Waltons.....back in the 70s when it was a new episode each week. My family never missed an episode. This show definitely takes me back.
Thanks for watching!
I look forward watching the Walton re-uns every night. Brings back memories of my own family. Never miss a show
I am getting tears eyed just by thinking about that wonderful show. Good night 🌙💤😘 John boy!
Good night Mary ellen..ok kids its late go to bed ..shut up John boy..he he !
The waltons was a family favorite.
I watch reruns of the Walton's two to three times a day, what a wholesome family show !
Yes- I am living a 1935 " Waltons" lifestyle today. We are a working farm. We live the best of 1935/1940. It got us through two years of Covid in safety and comfort. Grass-fed beef- Haying- gardens- firewood. Life here was a normal day of John & Olivia Walton's family, which was more than OK!
We have a 1930 Home Comfort kitchen woodstove for the colder New Hampshire months. Yes, New Hampshire. You don't have to live in VA to have this lifestyle. It is down home, wholesome Americana living. Watch the movie prior to the pilot TV series. It is available on DVD from Amazon. Set in 1933, called, THE HOMECOMING stars Patricia Neal playing Olivia, but the children are all the TV cast. It is truly hearwarming! ~ Diane
Thanks for watching, Diane!
I love this show and I grew up watching it and still do. Great job to all
I too enjoyed watching The waltons my mom and dad were around during the Great depression and world war II my father served during world war II. And when I was going to high school the show The waltons started. That was in the 1970s and my history class started doing about the Great depression and world war II and my because my mom and dad had lived during that time they were a wealth of information for me. I still enjoy watching the reruns of The waltons.
Dorothy Dromgoole- You were going through high school in 1970 and I was 20, following in the Waltons' footsteps, with my Grandmother Hazel holding my hand through the process. She taught me how to live that 1935 rural lifestyle. Folks are saying that you can't go back, but what remains of my farm family continues to live it in the Down Home Americana lifestyle
in gratitude, down to the kitchen wood stove and the hoosier baking cabinet. It is the back bone of our small rural town and can be found in niches around the USA.
I loved watching the Waltons..very good actors and always felt like home
Given what television has become today, I think recasting the Waltons wouldn't be such a bad idea
Thanks for watching, Sugar Ray!
Unfortunately Hollywood would ruin it in the casting and rewritten plots ...
HAVEN'T VEIWED..THE WALTON'S..SINCE ABOUT 1980..STILL VIVIDLY REMEMBERED..EACH CAST MEMBER WAS MADE FOR THEIR ROLES..THEMES AND TIMES OF THE SEASONS FLOWED WTH THE SHOW..EARTHY DOWN HOME LOOK AND SPEED PACE WAS PERFECT...ORGANIC..PRICELESS....GOOD NITE EVERY ONE...PS.

Thanks for watching, Linda!
I used to watch this and enjoyed it, i dont believe it would fly today as modern audiences couldnt relate to such hard times and the ability to overcome.
A few didn't slip by, but Ralph Waite was forgotten at the Academy Awards when he had been in an Oscar-winning film.
Is the Oscar- winning film, Cool hand Luke?
@@harperstacey9604 no, though if he was in the movie, all the more the Academy Awards made the mistake, but "The Bodyguard" where he played Kevin Costner's dad won music awards from the Oscars.
I watch the Waltons every day, it’s a wonderful show of family values, which is something we don’t see today.
Yes. It's a show that is like coming home sitting in your most comfortable chair and either reading your favorite book or a long letter from a dear friend. It is low stress, and feels like visiting a pleasant neighbor or good friend. It relieves, it allows you to unwind yet keeps your interest. It is like being home.
Thanks for watching, Eve!
Wouldn’t it be great to have a tv show today resemble The Waltons! But then, there could never be a replacement.
There is a new one in the making with a new cast of course . Richard Thomas is the narrator this time.
one of the best family shows of all time
It’s on twice a day here, back to back… I still watch.
I think America needs a good wholesome show like the Waltons today more than ever
I bought a couple of seasons online DVDs, I'd rather watch these over and over than the family shows they put out nowadays
So true
I desperately wanted to be one of the Waltons!
Like everybody else, I enjoyed the Waltons, then and now. You can usually find it if you're streaming your TV programming rather than cable. Would it make it today? As much as I'd like to say yes, I wonder.
The Walton's, being a show about family, is exactly what we need now. Race, biases, loss during wartime, ptsd, accidents, etc.; Everything was addressed and dealt with AS A FAMILY. My personal ranking ofy 5 favorite shows (including last episodes): The Walton's, Fresh Prince of Bel Aire, M.A.S.H., little House on the Prairie, and The Cosby Show.

The early episodes of Heartland are really good too ... 👍
