The show ran for nine seasons and became a fan favorite of a generation on CBS. The Waltons became part of a weekly tradition for television viewers. It was a staple of Thursday night programming until it finally went off the air in 1981. Now, thanks to Hallmark Channel and the Inspiration Channel, it is being introduced to a whole new generation of fans and the cast has reunited 35 years later for the big event.
The Walton’s IMDB summary says it all – In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, during the Great Depression, the Walton family makes its small income from its saw mill on Walton’s Mountain. The story is told through the eyes of John Boy, who wants to be a novelist, goes to college, and eventually fulfills his dream. The saga follows the family through an economic depression, World War II, and through growing up, school, courtship, marriage, employment, birth, aging, illness and death.
