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.
The "Titanic" of "The Waltons": Season Five 
2007-12-29
Scriptwriters and producers sent "The Waltons" on an irrevocable slow sink (and stink) to the bottom of the TV sea beginning in Season Five. What breached the show's hull in 1976-77? Incredibly poor story ideas and unbelievably lousy character treatment/development. In Season Five, the navigating efforts of the writers/producers seemed more hopeful than certain. In Season Five, creative conviction disappeared. If the show's best actor, Richard Thomas, sensed this downslide, it is little wonder he jumped ship and swam towards more challenging projects.
5 Stars for 5 Great Seasons 2007-12-21
The first 5 seasons are very good. I can watch them over and over. After that, I quit collecting the sets. I don't care for the next 4. Not the same after Will Geer died, Ellen Corby had her stroke and Richard Thomas and Michael Learned stopped being regulars. The latter seasons are too based on the war. You would think they are fighting it right there on the mountain. And they try too hard to include grandma in the story when she returns. And then there is Rose and the two kids with her. What's that all about ?? Lastly, the dumbest thing they ever did, was to bring another John-Boy in the show.

Consistently excellent family drama 2007-10-25
Season 5 has the Waltons entering the world...and the world coming to the mountain, as the Depression ends and World War II begins to draw near.
Eldest daughter Mary Ellen completes her nursing courses and marries, in a two-hour special where the family learns the only thing to expect of Mary Ellen is the unexpected.
Meanwhile, eldest son John-Boy drops out of college to publish his own newspaper. While the Blue Ridge Chronicle is a lifelong dream, John-Boy learns that he may be in over his head, in episodes such as "The Firestorm," when the locals are angered over his decision to publish excerpts of Hitler's book, and "The Cloudburst," when the threat of having the bank take his printing press causes John-Boy to sell the meadow Grandpa left him.
In a desperate attempt to raise money for school, second-eldest son Jason takes a job as pianist at the Dew Drop Inn -- a huge source of contention for Olivia and Grandma, who view the place as a den of sin.
Also, Erin begins a more adult life, working as a telephone operator; while Ben helps his brother with newspaper advertising, Jim Bob insists on being called James Robert as he tinkers with the old car parts he dreams of turning into a whole vehicle; and Elizabeth continues to enjoy her position as family baby.
Grandma faces serious illness, causing Grandpa much emotional trauma; and Richard Thomas departs at the end of the season, resulting in a different John-Boy until series end. In my opinion, it's always strange when they do that, even when I know they really had no choice, as Richard Thomas wanted to leave the show. It's just really difficult on viewers, watching a show for five seasons and getting used to one of the main characters, only to have him replaced.
This show is consistently excellent, with humor, poignancy and well-written storylines in every episode.
The Mason family had to have all 5 dvds.... 2007-09-24
My family has always been fans of The Waltons. We have collected the first 5 seasons and hope there will be more. Even though re-runs we have totally enjoyed watching these stories again. I recommend these DVDs for all families. Good, wholesome stories that the whole family will enjoy and with beautiful Virginia scenery.
Good service!

The Waltons - The Complete Fifth Season 2007-08-17
Season 5 is as good as the previous 4. If you loved The Waltons when you were younger then you will really love them now. This series evokes feelings and yearnings of times gone by.
Times that were slower yet seemingly more full and rich.
This series will make you feel 'good' and watching an episode or two is the perfect ending to a busy day in the 21st century.
