Product Description Honesty. Integrity. Family. Stories of a family's - and a nation's - yesteryear continue in six Reunion Movies. Set in the 1940s are A Wedding on Walton's Mountain (will Erin have a change of heart?), Mothers' Day on Walton's Mountain (honoring the person everyone turns to when crises arise) and A Day for Thanks on Walton's Mountain (with Robert Wightman as John-Boy). Taking place in the 1960s and featuring Richard Thomas as John-Boy are A Walton Thanksgiving Reunion (as a nation mourns the death of JFK), A Walton Wedding (no big-city Manhattan nuptials for John-Boy) and A Walton Easter (Happy 40th, John and Olivia!). Six warm Walton memories are yours to share. For fans of the family-friendly classic TV series, this 3-disc set features six made for television holiday-themed movies. .com Who says you can't go home again? Throughout six post-series reunion movies, the Walton home still stands, "generous in its love, filled with memories, and always ready to welcome us." From the first gathering of the far-flung mountain clan in A Wedding on Walton's Mountain (1982) to the final goodnights in A Walton Easter (1997), these uplifting and heartwarming films are quality time spent with one of America's favorite TV families. Each film amounts to a Very Special Episode of the top-rated, Emmy-winning TV series, rich with family milestones (weddings and births), and crises that will test and reaffirm the family credos of hard work, common sense, and faith. Most of the original cast is back. The late Will Geer, as Grandpa Walton, is sadly absent, and Ellen Corby, who suffered a stroke in 1977, plays a diminished role as Grandma Walton. The character of John-Boy, the aspiring writer whose reminiscences of life on Walton's Mountain were the heart of the series, is absent in the first two films and is portrayed by Richard Wrightman in A Day for Thanks on Walton's Mountain. With all due respect, we know John-Boy, we consider John-Boy to be a friend, and you, Mr. Wrightman, are no John-Boy. No, that would be Richard Thomas, who won an Emmy for his iconic role, and makes a welcome return in A Walton Thanksgiving Reunion (1993), which jumps ahead nearly two decades to 1963, the same time frame as the third season of Mad Men. Suffice to say, different worlds, as witness the charming scene in A Walton Wedding (1995) in which the wedding party sings "Bicycle Built for Two" while seeing off John-Boy and his bride. There is a circle-of-life satisfaction to the final film in the set, A Walton Easter, in which John (Ralph Waite) and Olivia (the ageless Michael Learned) celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary, and John-Boy contemplates returning to Walton's Mountain for good. "There's so much more out there beyond Walton's Mountain," a no-good former boyfriend cajoles the now-betrothed Erin in A Wedding on Walton's Mountain. But as these six films, celebrations of home and hearth brimming with life and unconditional love, remind us, why would you ever want to leave? --Donald Liebenson

Love the show
Love the show glad I found this, but I will say it’s not the highest quality made CD. But this is an older show so that may have something to do with it.

The Waltons. Always relaxing to watch.
Got here quickly. It's a DVD and the color is not as brilliant as it could be. But I love The Waltons.

Imminently Enjoyable
If you're a fan of "The Walton's" TV series (1972-81), you'll find this DVD collection imminently enjoyable. The key to the series' success was good scripts, interesting characters, and an excellent cast, which in this collection reunites for six feature-length movies, shot between 1982 and 1997.Movies include "A Wedding on Walton's Mountain", in which Erin marries her long-time boyfriend (airdate February 2, 1982). The second movie is "Mother's Day on Walton's Mountain," in which Ms Michael Learned who, as the mother disappeared from the series before it went off the air due to an undisclosed illness. She returns (looking as radiant as ever) for a family reunion to celebrate mother's day (Airdate May 9, 1982). The third movie is "A Day for Thanks on Walton's Mountain". This episode features the return of Elizabeth, who is no longer a young girl, but a globe-trotting woman. She spearheads the effort to reunite family and friends for Thanksgiving Day (airdate: November 22, 1982). The fourth movie is yet another Thanksgiving celebration, but with a twist, entitled "A Walton Thanksgiving Reunion" (airdate: November 21, 1993). This episode features the return of actor Richard Thomas, as John Boy (who departed the series before it went off the air). In this movie he is a respected TV journalist, who broadcasts news of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The fifth movie is "A Walton's Wedding". Getting hitched is John-Boy (Richard Thomas) to Janet (Kate McNeil). The question is where? In New York City, where the young couple live and work, or on Walton's Mountain? (airdate February 12, 1995). The sixth and last movie is "A Walton Easter". The plot this time is centered around John-Boy's wife, Janet, who is expecting to give birth--to (surprise!) twins. (airdate: March 31, 1997).

Mostly good...
While the six movie specials follow the Walton's into the 60's and satisfy some needs of those of us viewers who feel like extended family members, they raise more questions than we started off with at the end of the series, and some of the lose ends are just a little too whacked off making me wonder, huh?????? what?????? I wouldn't want to exclude these from my Walton's collection, nor to have never seen them, and I will continue to view them from time to time and enjoy them for what they are, but...do NOT expect that everything will make sense in the end. Erin's divorce from Paul and her quick mention of the reason do NOT make sense; Jonesy never coming back from Vietnam, his absence a stretch in the first place, does NOT make any more sense than Mary Ellen suddenly having two other children whom we are to suppose, I suppose, were adopted???? and while there is mention made out of the blue after we simply never hear of John Curtis again that Mary Ellen did have three children, it is John Curtis himself whom you would think would be the one who went off to Vietnam. There were a couple of other very sloppy writing results that have left me scratching my head still, but despite these instances I am still more in favor of recommending this DVD than not to all true Walton's fans.
