The Waltons is a television series that was based on the book Spencer's Mountain by Earl Hamner, Jr. It is set in a rural mountain community during the depression. Airing from 1972 to 1981, The Waltons introduced us to John and Olivia Walton (Ralph Waite and Michael Learned) and their children John-Boy (Richard Thomas), Mary Ellen (Judy Norton), Jason (Jon Walmsley), Erin (Mary Elizabeth McDonough), Ben (Eric Scott), JimBob (David W Harper), and Elizabeth (Kami Cotler); the family was rounded out by Grandpa (Will Geer) and Grandma (Ellen Corby). Grandpa and John had to hide the special recipe purchases made from the Baldwin Sisters as Olivia and Grandma were tee-totalers.
Goodnight John-Boy.
