Who was your favorite character on the Waltons?

[Maccagirl]

I just loved Grandpa (Will Geer). He totally rocked.

1. uggh... I hate Walmart and that whole family...

snark. but really, Waltons was probably 10 years before my time.. :P

[noonwitch]

2. The elderly sisters who had the still

They were great.

I also liked the recurring character John Ritter played, as the radical minister who defended black people and jewish people from the local rednecks (always with the Waltons' support).

[I Have A Dream]

5. None -- for some reason, I hated the Waltons.

[Haole Girl]

29. Same here!

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. The peacock

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. I liked the pilot movie with Patricia Neal playing the mom...

It was a kind of quirky Christmas story called The Homecoming. I guess it was kind of sappy, and the script-writing could have been better; but I liked it anyway. Some of the characters were the same as in the series...I think all the kids were. The grandfather was different, but I can't remember the actor's name. Andrew Duggan played the father, and Cleavon Little portrayed a preacher from the black church.

9. Ike, the store keeper.

[hyphenate]

10. Never really watched it

I don't remember, but there was probably something on opposite that I watched instead. Those were the days of no TIVO, VCRs or much of anything, really, that could have saved my sanity regarding programming. :)

13. Grandpa, then Ben

Mary Ellen for the girls and Grandma was quite shrewd at times!!!



I loved the relationship between grandma and grandpa..."you old fool"

[Liberalynn]

14. Ike Godsey

That lady he married, however, was another story. ;)

[greenbriar]

20. Cora Beth

uggggggg what a hag

[Liberalynn]

[NMDemDist2]

16. I avoided that show like the plague so I can't help ya n/t

[Va Lefty]

17. Always loved Grandpa too

Will Geer was a good friend of Woody Guthrie and was blacklisted in the fifties for refusing to appear before HUAC (House Un-American Activities Committee). He was a great American :patriot:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

18. The Waltons! (shudder) - brings back ugly memories

My brother and I were arguing about who started the fire at the Waltons' house after that episode. I went over and spat on him. He came over and spat on me. I went back and spat on him, and he came to me and threw a glass of orange juice in my face. We were ages 10 and 15 at the time.

[greenbriar]

19. so ... was it Johnboy's pipe or Grandpa's Fan?

did you ever figure it out?

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

21. No! I just remember running to Mom and telling on him!

[Arugula Latte]

22. Mary Ellen. But I didn't really become a fan until August 1985.

[BrotherBuzz]

24. Daisy Duke

[blockhead]

26. Do you know who cuts the grass in Waltons Mountain?

[Arugula Latte]

28. "Mary Ellen, you're a pissant!"

I always recall that line, for some reason. I think Erin said it.
