Another Walton Christmas 
2007-12-24
My wife was thrilled to get the 4th season of the Waltons. It has become her favorite gift to ask for. I don't know what will happen when she gets them all.....I guess we'll start over with season 1. Merry Christmas!!!
A Good Show 2007-10-09
I think the Waltons is pretty much a good show, its got some corny episode's, like the one where Liz, Elizabeth, and Jim-bob get lost in the forest I think that one is a little overboard, but you get wrapped up with the characters, everyone has a favorite.
The acting is quite good, of coarse when things started too change with the actors in the later seasons, specifically John-boy, I think they should have just stopped.
I used to enjoy Little House on the Prairie, and its still a sweet-heartwarming family show but I got tired of it as time grew on and enjoy the Waltons now, as my old time good quality show.
I think many will enjoy the Waltons and fall in love with the characters.
Another great season, full of interesting and well-written episodes...

Season 4 follows the Walton clan as they begin to mature and explore more of the outside world. Eldest son John-Boy, now a sophomore at Boatwright College, is a stringer for a local newspaper.
Second eldest son Jason, always musically gifted, has won a scholarship to study music. Meanwhile, eldest daughter Mary Ellen plans to study nursing after graduating from high school this year, while the younger children also follow their own individual pursuits.
Possibly the most memorable episode of Season 4 is "The Burnout," a two-hour special featuring a fire that ravages the Walton home, and the devastating aftermath -- both physical and emotional -- as the family struggles to rebuild their previous existence.
Other key episodes include "The Sermon," where John-Boy is asked to be a guest speaker at church while the Rev. Fordwick is away on his honeymoon, and mother Olivia subs at the school in place of his wife, the former Miss Hunter. In "The Prophecy," dad John is full of anguish at the approach of his 25th high school reunion, under the delusion that his life is nowhere near as successful as those of his classmates.
Although this show is set in the 1930s, the plots and characters' struggles ring as true as if they were happening today. Who among us can't relate to job and financial struggles, whether they be the result of the Depression or downsizing? Who hasn't had dreams and goals of becoming someone successful, just like John-Boy with his writing and Jason with his music?
If you've never watched The Waltons, I urge you to start from Season 1. You'll quickly become enmeshed in this closeknit family's struggles and joys, and look forward to seeing their lives unfold. And, if you've been watching the previous seasons, you certainly won't be disappointed in this one!
the walton's (dvd) 2007-08-31
I love the watching the Walton's ever since I was a kid and used to sneak into my Grandmothers room ( and watch it with her) after I was told to go to bed. I think the reason why I enjoy watching the Walton's is because it reminds me of my childhood somewhat growing up. Definatley a must see.
Walton's In Your Cup 2007-08-28
Like a good cup of coffee, The Waltons is a wonderful, uplifting way to start your day. I watch an episode every morning, and it puts a spring in my step that lasts me through evening.

The Waltons DVD season 4 2008-04-27
I own all six of the complete seasons that are currently available and have pre-ordered season seven. I have always been a fan of "the Waltons". My only regret is that the DVD's are printed on both sides, thus subjecting them to more wear and tear. I am very careful in handling them but still some episodes inevitably get dirty or scratched and skip and jump. I guess this is unavoidable. I have watched all six seasons at least four times. I love the series but wish the DVD's were less prone to damage.
Simply the most uplifting TV series ever 2008-03-23
I was a fan of the Waltons twenty-five years ago, but now that I'm older (and maybe wiser) I see what the series really has to offer - a precious look into a life style now almost forgotten. The show gives us a look into a simple, loving way of life we can all choose to create even in this complex 21st Century, if, of course, we see the value of it. My grandsons will be watching the series with me in the years ahead and we'll be talking about the depth and beauty of the relationships so genuinely portrayed there. I can hardly wait. In the mean time, my wife and I treat ourselves to an episode every few days.
Great Family Entertainment 2008-01-27
When my mom found out that The Walton's coming out on DVD, she was elated. The fact they are commercial free makes it even better. These disks are great entertain from tweens to the elderly. I would recommend the series to anyone.
I love The Waltons, but ... 2008-01-07
None of the 4th season discs are labeled with disc numbers. Thus, if you get them out of order out of the boxes it becomes a guessing game as to which disc is which. It takes a special kind of stupid to omit such a vital detail - kind of like forgetting to put page numbers in a novel.
That said, I still have to give this a 4-star simply because it IS The Waltons.
