(Editor’s Note: Congratulations go out to Monique Rizzo, who was picked by Random.org since she was our 124th commenter on this blog post! Be sure and check your e-mail for information on how to claim your prize.)
This week’s new television DVD releases takes us back quite a ways to a classic show from my own childhood. The Waltons first aired in the fall of 1972 and ran for nine years, ending its 1930s tale of the Walton family in 1981. These made-for-TV reunion movies are set in the 1940s and 1960s, showing the family growing up and the children becoming adults all on their own. If you are a fan of this classic series, you won’t want to miss out on this collection. If you are a newcomer to the show, all I can say is that this was one of the best prime-time family shows of the 1970s and it truly is a classic you will want to see.
Here’s what Amazon.com has to say about The Waltons Movie Collection DVD set:
- Actors: John Walmsley, Eric Scott, Earl Jr. Hamner, Richard Thomas
- Format: Color, Dolby, DVD, Full Screen, Subtitled, NTSC

My husband and I love watching the Waltons. I know that I can sit down with my kids and not be concerned about what they might hear or see. The Waltons had to live through some hard times, but they got through them as a family. We can all learn something from them.
