Where is feisty, Baptist Grandma? She put Recipie in her pie? That's not Ester Walton. Where is the real Ben, the other feisty Walton? The dynamic between grandpa and grandma is WAY off. I like the idea of showing the struggles of the depression era rural America. I just don't sense that here. The family just doesn't act anything like how they should be. Not even close. Mary Ellen is not the strong bull headed girl we know. John-Boy is not that know it all big brother that would annoy Mary Ellen. Grandpa and Grandma are pretty much absent. Their bickering was what made that show so great. It's a nice try but it's just not quite right.
