Best season of the seriesNov 21, 2006
By caj There were many great seasons of this special show, but season four is the best IMO. Standout episodes include:
The Sermon - John Boy is asked to preach Sunday services and he gets plenty of coaching from proud Grandma.
The Competition - Ben gets angry and leaves just as the Waltons get into a competition for a huge contract.
The Search - Story by Ellen Corby (Grandma) Olivia, Jim Bob and Elizabeth are lost in the woods after a car accident.
The Fox - Grandpa's war stories don't quite live up to the truth.
The Burnout - The family is scattered after the house burns down.
The Quiliting - Tensions flare between Grandma, Olivia and Mary Ellen after Grandma plans a quilting party to announce Mary Ellen is ready for courting.
The House - Grandma and Grandpa are on different sides of the county's decision to tear down an old house.

Waltons Series Remains a Classic in TV ViewingJan 30, 2007
By kone
"kone"
The age of innocence is long gone from America TV. I grew up in the 1960's and remember the days of family-friendly television. Remember those great family shows that every member of the family could enjoy - The Andy Griffith Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show, That Girl, Father Knows Best, Leave It To Beaver, and Ozzie and Harriet? A few family-friendly shows remained in the 1970's: The Partridge Family, The Brady Bunch, and best of all ... The Waltons. Since the Waltons left TV in the early 1980's there have been very few quality tv shows the entire family can watch and enjoy together ("The Wonder Years" stands out as one of these). Since the days of adult-oriented "Dallas" and other similar sleazy sex melodramas, the major tv networks have been set on corrupting and ridiculing the strong family values that made America a once-great and proud nation.
Thank goodness for The Waltons! The Waltons is a series that everyone in the family can sit down and enjoy together. Parents can relax because there is no cursing or foul language, no double-entendre sex jokes, no graphic violence, just real characters growing up in a much more innocent age than we currently live in. (For a look at how our grandparents grew up, watch the Waltons).
In Season Four of the series, 24 episodes are presented, all of them being quality family enertainment. I have my favorite episodes of season 4 and you will too - there is much to like about this season. John-boy grows closer to graduation from college and begins a newspaper, Mary-Ellen begins her first steps in her nursing career, Ben grows into a young man with strong ideas of his own, and of course there is always the steady presence of the parents and grandparents, guiding this large family through the trying years of the Great Depression.
While my favorite Waltons season is the very first, there is still so much to treasure in this fourth season. The acting is superb, with Michael Learned winning an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a drama series, and the perpetually old and cranky Ellen Corby winning an Emmy for supporting actress. (Does anyone recall Ellen Corby playing anything other than an old lady or Grandma? - I can only recall one role as a pioneering farming homesteader in the movie "Shane" ). Richard Thomas binds this series together, being the person from which the stories are being told. When Richard Thomas leaves the show after season five, the series loses its central focus. And while the series still remains entertaining after season five, the loss of John-Boy is imposible to overcome.
I heartily recommend Season Four of the Waltons. It is something your family can watch and learn important life-lessons from, a far-cry from today's tv viewing options.

Love the Waltons!Dec 06, 2006
By E. T. Epperson I love this series. I just wish they would get them out faster. Every year when we buy them, we will lay in bed at night and watch one episode. As the end of each season draws near, we may skip a night here and there to make them last longer. We really miss them when it's over. I wish they would release them all or at least release one every 4 or 6 months. I have no patience...

Hello and Goodbye John BoyDec 13, 2006
By Nurse ML
"MLR"
While we are getting ready to say goodbye to John Boy in the 5th season (not this 4th season), every episode deserves 5 stars. I loved this show growing up (high school) and can watch reruns forever. I'm planning on purchasing all seasons, as I treasure every episode. This is my all time favorite television show and, I think, always will be.

Great Family Show But Poor Transfer Quality & No Extras..Apr 26, 2007
By Buffalo Gal
"chmarie"
Now don't get the wrong impression of my rating because this is an excellent family show and it gets 5 stars it that area, but the 2 rating is my opinion of the poor way that this quality show was put on DVD.. First i noticed that this is a bare bones transfer with no extras but you would think since we are paying good money for these dvds that they would at least make sure the trasnfer quality from film to dvd is excellent, but sadly its not, it seems like there was not much care taken in the transfer process. Let me explain, during the opening music i noticed that it fades in and out something that i did not notice in the previous 3 seasons. Also on a few episodes i just watched, it appears like there was little cleaning up of the film done before transfer to get rid of all the spots or floaters that sometimes appear on older films, it would have been nice if the time was taken to remaster the film for good dvd viewing. It also would have been nice to include a closed caption feature for the hearing impaired for those who need it. In closing i really enjoy watching the Waltons and I am very pleased to have it on DVD, but if a little more care and extra work was put into the transfer process this could be so much better and i would feel i am getting the most for my money spent...
