- THE WALTONS (1972-1981) Cast THEN and NOW, Who Passed Away After 51 Years?
Released in 1972, "The Waltons" is a timeless and beloved American drama television movie that captivated audiences with its heartwarming portrayal of a close-knit family living in rural Virginia during the Great Depression and World War II era. Created by Earl Hamner Jr., the film was based on his own childhood experiences and the novel "Spencer's Mountain."
Set in the fictional town of Walton's Mountain, the story revolves around the Walton family, led by John and Olivia Walton, who struggle to make ends meet while maintaining a strong sense of unity and resilience. Through their trials and triumphs, "The Waltons" explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the enduring power of family bonds.
Need more shows with family values today. Our world would be a better place.
Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
We do..The Simpsons!
put God back into the USA!!
I agree with you. Considering who controls Hollywood....why do you think they produce what they produce today? It's not about unification.
@@conniegomez1321 the real love god, that wants us to stop crapping on the planet, not the trumpers fire and brimstone god that hates anyone that may be different. ......peace to all
Never got tired of the wonderful Walton family's acting ability and interesting lives they led!!!!
I miss wholesome television shows like the Waltons.
NE TOO!!!!!!!!!
I watch the reruns when they're on.
Me too
I watch The Waltons as often as I can! Good TV!
You're not alone there.
I wish the shows today were more family-based, lesson learning, with storylines that kept one's attention glued to the screen. Our kids are grown & have their own families, but they still refer at times "Remember that episode on the Walton's?" to this much-loved series. They were a treasure.
Indeed they were!! ;)
I completely agree with you. It's wonderful to hear that even though your kids have grown and started their own families, they still fondly remember and refer to episodes from "The Waltons." The show's family-based, lesson-learning approach, along with captivating storylines, made it a treasure that resonated with viewers. It's understandable to wish for more shows like that today, as they have a lasting impact on both entertainment and values.

The patriotism that was displayed on the Waltons in so many ways needs to be heeded during these times of hate , anti-truth and anti-democracy . The Waltons are more important than ever.
I absolutely love what you said here. It cuts deep and it is the truth. I have begun to regret the invention of computers and most electronics because its ruling this world and no one cares where their food is coming from and we no longer have farms that produce the best nutritious foods from meats to vegetables. It’s those farms that will sustain us but no one wants to farm anymore and seem to not care anymore about the next person.
So very well said!
We need more shows showing what real families were really like years ago. I miss this show and the entire cast. Of those who passed away, Your Memory will be our Blessing. Rest in Peace while we thank you all for the Memories. 💕💕
As you said, this was a show. Not real life.
I miss the Waltons. I wish it was still on TV. I' m 74 and my Dad died at 61 when I was 35. Mr Walton looked like my Dad. I quess he was my favorite character, but I really loved everyone. Sometimes I dream of having everyone in my family. I grew up being an only child.
I watch the WALTONS EVERYDAY, at lease 2 hours everyday, if I can't sleep at night I watch them it seems to make me calm, I just LOVE THE WALTONS!!
You can find the Waltons on MeTV daily...
I'm 63 and live in the UK. I loved this show and have fond memories of watching it. There were 6 of us in our family including my parents. My brother is 2 years older than me and he's called John. At bedtime we'd all call out goodnight to each other, ending with 'good night John boy'!! It was such a loving and happy home - just like the Walton!! Sadly, my dad died in 1995. My mother is 89 and lives with my youngest sister. I live alone, and my other sister lives with her boyfriend of 34 years, and my brother lives away with his family. It's very lonely without my lovely family. So this brought back wonderful memories of bygone years. 😊
Boyfriend of 34 years ? Crikey😮
lts lovely to see family so close
Loved the Walton's. We all watched it as a family 🤩
Even at that time the phone didn't ring and next day everyone talked about the episode.
Yes , good times.
"The Waltons" was a masterpiece of writing, plot, acting and directing that has never been topped. The episodes are as fresh and relevant a half-century later as they were when first aired. Every character was beautifully defined and complete in itself. I loved all the family members, but John-Boy was my ultimate favorite. He should never have left the show.
Wrong.
Wow You must be an intellectual. That's quite a vocabulary you have.@@lorimeyers743
The wisdom shared by John and Olivia to their children is what I love. If only we could have them now our world could be better If we followed "love one another".
Well that’s what your parents are for
Cheers
You're absolutely right! The wisdom and values shared by John and Olivia on "The Waltons" were truly inspiring. Their emphasis on love and treating one another with kindness is something our world could definitely benefit from today. If we all embraced the principle of "love one another," it would undoubtedly contribute to making our world a better place.
But it wasn't real, Will Greer was a Communist, most of them like most actors have serious emotional problems with substance abuse. Hollywood like the MSM is fake and a deception.
I Miss the Walton's mainly, because of the Wisdom & Values that were at that time, didn't remain the same for later generations! And alot kids during this time, Now are Totally Clueless as to having Respect for other's, and don't actually take the time to think of the consequences before they react to something!! Bring Back Good Family Values‼️👍
One of the best TV shows ever aired.
Thank you to all those responsible for creating and continuing to bring the Walton's into my home. I am 93 years old and still watch the Walton's at least three or four times each week. I pray that we are blessed with more programs like the Walton's, free of foul language and other garbage which is now so common on TV and in real life.
Thanks
Television has absolutely become almost impossible to watch these days! That’s the honest truth for those who have morals! Thank you for your reminder of the importance of great television!
Love the Walton’s is a great family show. Watched it in the 70’s.😊
I love the Waltons ! Watched it a long time ! God bless…❤.
It's impossible to choose a "favorite" character in the Waltons--it was the family itself that made one's heart sing.
Exactly
You're absolutely right! The beauty of "The Waltons" was the way the entire family ensemble came together to create a heartwarming and harmonious atmosphere. Each character played a vital role in making the show special, and it was the collective presence of the family that made our hearts sing. It's the strong bond and love among them that truly captured the essence of the series.
I still watch the reruns I’m 72. Always loved it. My favorite was Oliva’s husband John. May he rest in peace.
The show had good stories, good characters, and I felt that when Will Geer passed away.
Outstanding tv. Our younger generation needs more tv like that.
I always loved the WALTON'S! I'm watching the whole series now 2023 in Michigan. I'm 77. I miss the original cast! Each one unique! God bless u for making this program a blessing to me and my family through the years!
I loved them all, they were like the family we all wanted to be like
This show taught me alot of things that could only improve mankind 😊😊😊
Will Greer as Zebulon. He and Esther had a symbiosis that kept the family together. Then when Will Greer passed away, the family seemed to follow the rules of Zebulon or you can feel his memory in the series. But it was never the same. Kudos to the writers and the "goodnights" at the end of the show
Good Night...
Loved Elizabeth .I watch reruns everyday
Will Geer was a treasure that unfortunately many people today forget.
Loved grandpa and grandma walton may they RIP❤
I watched the show every day with my then 2yr old daughter !!! I thought Erin was so beautiful and gave my daughter that as her middle name !!! My daughter loved Elizabeth!! The show was so warm and engaging!!! One of my all time favorites!!!
The Walton’s is one of my favorite shows….. I still watch it to this day…. ! It was a show with good family values and always love, no matter the hardships they endured during those hard times….. My father, solely missed, had told us stories of growing up during those trying times…… I don’t know if a lot of people today would have such strength and endurance of such graceful ease of what it would take to stay together and have hope
Of a better world….. it’s heartfelt stories of good, bad, sorrow, always had the love that kept it altogether…..❤
The show is the best. It is just fantastic. The love and understanding that existed among the family can't be matched or overlooked. I watch it every day. It reminds me of my family. We lived a farm with 13 children with similar duties, events, and experiences. How I cherish and treasure the life we shared as a family and will forever adore that time. All of the characters were great, but John Boy was my favorite.
I loved Jim Bob and John Boy they were my most favorite characters. But I wish all families where like this down to earth family.
I loved the whole cast of the "Waltons". They were so "down to earth" in that series. I really miss those old shows. It's too bad they can't make programs like that any more. The stuff they portray on television today is, well, crap, in my opinion.
What I don't enjoy is how SVU really used to be a good show to watch now the writing seems to be written by AI
mikeguthrie, they could but they don't want to because it wouldn't bring in the money like "sex" and "violence" does!
I agree. Even if one dies come by it's a rarity and doesn't last long.
Hollywood CAN make wholesome movies, they just WON'T because it wouldn't fit their LEFTIST, SATANIC agenda!!!
I agree with you on how most shows today are just what you said.
Do you watch when Calls the Heart.that’s a good clean family drama.
Loved them ALL!❤
It was a great,clean program that the family could enjoy together
I identified with the Waltons because I’m from a large family of eleven kids. I always felt good after watching an episode and still do. Thank you cast members for giving us all such a great show!
I wish we could have shows like the Waltons now
We need it!!!!!
What's wrong with The Gerry Springer Show ?😂
I thought it was sweet that even after the grandma had a stroke they still had her on the show since she still wanted to work. She struggled to speak but you could understand her. I just thought that was so sweet.
Yeah Ellen-Grandma really had a stroke in real life and she came back to the Show..that took alot of courage and fortitude on her part..idk if I really could of done that.
Rip to Ellen and the rest of the cast that has passed 🙏🏼
The Waltons was based on strong bonds, resilience, and unwavering love for one another; their portrayal can be compared to an Irish family of that time, emphasising the importance of family, community support, and the enduring spirit in the face of challenging times.
Beautifully presented video of all the cast and given with such respect for them all, i must have watched ever episode, wouldn't it be a great world if we all had their values and kindness that was shown in every episode ,
I love the Walton's and I still watch it today ❤
Me too
I love watching the family episodes They were so close to each other & helped people whenever they were asked-refreshing-wish I had a family like that.Since my parents died & husband life has not been the same.Old friends are all gone.I look forward to the Walton’s everyday
I feel so sad for you that life has turned out the way it has. Sending big hugs from Australia.
Sending love from UK xxx
It's hard to say which Walton's family member is my favorite. They each have a Special Place in My Heart.
I watch the Walton's everyday! Love them to unwind and relax to. Wholesome programming! Live on The Waltons!💗
We need more family shows like that
I miss The Walton's. It was a wonderful show each week with wholesome values. Family matters. It take a village.
A fabulous show that is missed today. Especially the first few years….outstanding. I still watch the Homecoming every year.
My favorites was John & Olivia & John Boy.I still watch the Waltons EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.😊
They were all my favorites! Still watch them, of course they're reruns!
Love every actor, they were all perfect for their roles, still watch reruns. ❤❤
Dearly the show
PLEASE KEEP THE RERUNS ON TV. WE WILL NEVER HAVE A BETTER ONE IN THIS WORLD IS NOW!! PLEASE !!!!!
Would Love to see them do, coming home to the Waltons while many of cast members are still Living. A special
I love them all! But I had a huge crush on Richard Thomas. Worked as an extra with my Mother for several years on the show. A wonderful memory. Lots of love and laughter is what I remember most.
I loved the waltons brilliant tv series❤
Erin Walton was my favorite. I named my first born after her. I was inspired by the episode where a deer was going to be a household pet, but then was released back out to the wilderness!
I love watching the Waltons. I never miss an episode
Me to
I loved jason
Loved them all, such a good example as a family
So many fond memories growing up and watching The Waltons. Great family values that I could relate to in my little town in England.
Loved this show when it was prime time TV and now that I am "old" I still love it on our local oldies channel! ❤
Every Thursday night at 7 we were watching the show, great memories❤
I agree with you it was always the same time and most all the family sat together watching this if not sat together we would talk about it
I miss all of them, was a very good show. I still watch the show all the time 🙏
I too miss these kinds of wholesome programs
John Boy was always our famiy's favorite character. All th eactors were good in their assigned roles. TV needs more family shows like it.
100%
Miss this kind of programming. I watched it with my parents every week. You left it with a lesson learned. You wanted to be a part of the family. Miss those days.
My family too. Every night when we tucked in we'd say night to our family, followed by goodnight John Boy.
Great memories.
I have all the seasons on DVD, and I still enjoy rewatching them. I find something new each time. I have no favorites of the Walton family, I love and loved them all, thank you for sharing this information 🌹
Me too,I have the dvd sets and also Little house on the prairie
I loved all equally too. I miss those times with so much in each story telling. It had love, kindness, life lessons, morals, value of others and what each person in life can and do offer. Miss it so much but I do have all episodes and I like watching it on TV any time. ❤
JohnBoy. Never was the same without him!
I loved all of the Waltons. I have the series on DVD.
What great Family memories. ❤
❤
Lovw the series. Richard Thomas is a great actor
I can't pick a favorite person on The Walton's cause I liked all of them. They were the top of the line actor's.
I miss the Waltons. I am 76 now but it seems just like yesterday. I have most of the episodes on vhs. I bought them at a country lodge flea market. Makes me cry.
Thank you for all the memories!❤
I absolutely adored every single character in The Waltons❤❤❤
I never knew until recently that they were based on a true family living up in the beautiful hills🥰🥰🥰🥰
To those wo have now sadly passed on, May you forever RIP. So sadly missed but never forgotten😢💔🙏🏼
Thank you all for giving me such wonderful childhood memories🥰🤗💝♥️💖🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Treasured always and forever🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗💝♥️💖💘💕💓🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The Waltons is my all-time favorite show! I loved all the cast members for they all made the show great!
I grew up watching the series and loved all of them. Grandma and Grandpa are by far the faves. The very first movie The Walton's Christmas 'Home Coming' With Patricia Neal is my favorite. Still miss them all today.
I loved watching Ralph Waite on ncis. I think a lot of fans were very sad when he passed away.
Hello Andrea,how are you feeling today?
John Waite was a great actor!RIP!
Wonderful wholesome family show .never get.tired of watching it after all this time .Richard Thomas played the wise and loving older brother and the dad was just perfectly played by the talented Ralph Waite .Everyone in the show was great .
It was a favorite always in my home when I was raising a very young family and we watched the reruns too! They don't make them like that anymore. It was such a staple and it was free.
It's nostalgic to hear that you and your family enjoyed the show together. It truly was a special and timeless experience.
Another one of my favorite TV shows I enjoyed watching all of them to those who have crossed over rip I truly enjoyed you all
I still watch the reruns to this day family values aren't like this anymore, families have lost respect for one another these days and times if u ain't rolling with them they will turn on u in a hot minute
I loved this show and now it makes me sad. It seems like yesterday when this came on and Mama and me and my sister would have something good to eat and watch it together. Daddy was usually working but sometimes he’d be home to watch too. I was a tween-teenager and my parents were in their 30s. Now Mama and Daddy are gone and I’m an old woman.
I liked the narrator speaking at the end of each episode. His voice transported me back to those earlier years and fed my imagination about the lives lived long ago.
Loved that show, so clean and wholesome.
*The cast capture the essence of different eras and the evolution of their careers.*
Wonderful show. I still miss the loving wholesome shows. Thank you for your story.
It was a perfect cast
Such good wholesome TV back in those days! We always watched this show as a family. Certainly miss these type shows.
I liked them all! I'm watching reruns to this day. 🥰
I still watch it every day and have no plans of stopping. It's my favorite show.
I always loved when the Baldwin Sisters were featured. I especially recall their Christmas tree in the pilot episode, lit with candles. To this day, I have wax candles clipped to my Christmas trees, but they're only lit briefly for a photo shot.
I agree. The Baldwin sisters were fun to watch.🥰
I love The Walton's it was a beautiful TV series I didn't have any favourites
Such a Great Family Show all of the actors were perfect ✝️🕊️🙏🕯️💜
THE WALTONS - each and every one of the people who played in this series were a magnet for a person who wanted to be a part of a wonderful family. They are like my family, I still watch it today as it is timeless.
Great show! I still watch reruns and love the early ones especially!❤
Only prefer the ORIGINAL John Boy. Mean no offense, but, his replacement character just isn't the same. I only watch the ORIGINAL JOHN BOY episodes.❤️
@@charlotteshouse3720Me too. It was ridiculous bringing that other guy in as John. They were treating the audience as imbeciles
The Walton's family is then and now the best show I ever seen as a great family on TV ,I still see all the repeats always ,sad for grandma, grandpa and Ralph the father who pass away in the years the show ended God bless the Walton's family 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I like all the Walton people. The show was great and there will never be another like it. It reminds me so much of the way life used to be back in the day.
Great show with family values i was born in 1970 and remember it sitting and watching it back then loved it.................
I watch the Walton's everyday I would love to see what is going on with them in 2023.
They were all brilliant thanks for the memories from Scotland
I've watched theWaltons since I was a little girl. I'm lucky enough to have a channel that still shows it everyday at 3 pm.
I am 72 and watch the show every day. I agree we need more shows with good family values and no virtual TV programs!
I actually loved All the characters. I miss this show and all the other wholesome shows from that time, and when TV was fun to watch.
This show, together with MASH: best series ever made...
OMG so true people we could look up to and try to be like.... When your young you think life is all about you and It's not, it's about the people you bring in to your life to make your self better ..
the Waltons has been my favorite Show for years I still watch it i wish there were more Shows like this God Bless you all and for the one's not with us RIP thank you God Bless you all
I love watching the Walton. Life would be so much better! If we lived that way! Keep in touch love y’all
I love them all it was just like being at home, we had nine in our bunch and it look just like the Waltons! It was a great show, I’m 76 now and still watch it every time I get a chance! I just loved it! I do a little action my se of now and then when I get a chance! I love doing the parts, I did re-enactments for several years , cowboys in Canton Texas! I wish I was still doing so! Great stories like it very much! Thanks!!!
I really love that show ❤, I still watch the reruns everyday...I am almost 67 years old so I've seen a lot of reruns..but they never get boring or obnoxious, every time they come on its just like watching the first season for me, I wish they still made clean, descent, family oriented shows like this...in fact I used to imagine that the Waltons were my neighbors but then I would come back to reality 😢☹
