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! LOLI really loved that show.
Oh, yes, Miss Mamie and Miss Emily!I alternately had a crush on Ben and John Boy. Even back then LOL.
Thats them!I was always partial to Jason!
Aaaah. Yes, Think I remember. The Waltons, that is. Not the depression.Seem to remember them as a TV cartoon.
The Baldwin sisters! None of those boys ever did much for me.
They may have done a cartoon version, it seems vaguely familar.
Let us not forget the Carol Burnett parody, something about "The Walnuts" who lived on "Walnut's Mound."
