The Waltons were a fictionalized TV family living in the mountains of Virgnia during the great depression of the 1930s. Each week they would face some frightening challenge, like raising $5 to buy a catchers mitt. There was Grandpa and Grandma, John and Olivia, the parents, and their childrens: John Boy, Mary Ellen, Ben, Jason, Erin, Jim Bob and Elizabeth. There were also neighbors involved too, but at the end of the day they would all go to be and call good night to one another.
That was 30 years ago.

It was based on Earl Hamner (producer,writer and director of the show) and his familys life in rural Virgina duringthe depression.
I loved the two sisters who sold their daddies medical elixer "The Recipe" which was actually moonshine! LOL
I really loved that show.
