The "Waltons" was a mainstay in my family growing up. My kids(9&12) and I watch it now - every week day. This is TV at its greatest. Great plot, story, entertainment and moral values. Always hard working and understanding. Of course I had bragging rights growing up because I visited my grandparents(birth place of my Mom) every Sunday, March Breaks and summers on their farm in Walton NS... which at the time had a mountain...(I was a wee lad so everything looked bigger including my grandparent's house!) more of a ridge now. RIP Ralph "Daddy"...
