Grampa was a good old boy for sure, 7 May 2008
7/10
Author: jec1957 from United States

I remember watching this show a a young boy and I remember how it made me laugh. In fact, Walter was the greatest of all time 2nd bananas and was loved by Americans all over. He has won Academy Awards and Emmy Awards for his work. He really touched us with his down home drawl which was the best ever delivered by a New England native.

I believe that he had only one movie roll where he played the heavy.

Unfortunately the more I learned about Walter Brennan the hard it got for me to truly enjoy his work. He was an unapologetic racist and had true hate in his blood for all minorities. Every time I see one of his movies all I can think of is his hate. He supported Wallace in 1964 and didn't support Nixon because he believed Nixon was too liberal.
