    Best Episode every

    I think this episode of the Walton's was by far the most emotional one i ever watched.it can even make you cry at times that day will always be remember in history.I would love to see other shows actually had great Cast and Great story's like this but none compare to some of the old series such as the Walton's.Season 7 Episode 10 can make you really think about what is most important Family and Country.I am honestly Glad after only seeing the 1st 3 seasons of the walton reruns when i was a kind that i was able to watch the rest of the Seasons's there story's and adventures are so cool.I just hope that one day TV Executive start thinking about bring Good TV Shows and story's back most now a day's are junk in my Personal Opinion this is one of my top 10 Best TV shows list.

    • Quotes

      Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] Time's inexorable march brought constant changes and challenges to the people on Waltons Mountain. Happily for us, the closeness of our family seemed always to temper life's harsher moments. However, a crisp, cold Sunday morning in December of 1941 was to bring an event that would sorely test our family and the entire nation.
