Did you know
- TriviaCora Beth Godsey always referred to her husband Ike as "Mr. Godsey". However, in episode 9.2 The Outrage: Part 2, when Ike and Corabeth Godsey are in bed to sleep, she called him Ike rather than the customary "Mr. Godsey". In episode 5.22 Corabeth says "Ike, It's Amy, she's not in her room"

- Quotes
Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] It has always seemed to me that 1938 was the springtime of my life. I was engrossed in completing my novel and, as the words poured out, I felt as if the whole world was unfolding. It was a time of rising hope, not only for me, but for my grandfather.
Featured review
Gone but not forgotten
I love how when Ellen Corby had her stroke, Grandma Walton was still very much a part of the storyline. They could have written her character out or found someone else to take over the part. Instead they waited until she had healed enough to come back. The show would not have been quite as special without the magic of the relationship between Grandpa and Grandma. They picked at each other, but the tender caring between them came through loud and clear. Another actress would not have had the same wonderful chemistry that she shared with Will Geer.
