Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe family references three radio shows during the episode's action, which unfolds in the autumn of 1934. They are: Erin and Mary Ellen's pick, Guy Lombardo (briefly heard: a cover of "Tiptoe Through the Tulips"); Ben and Jason's choice, The Lone Ranger (then a new national hit over the new Mutual Radio Network); and an apparent family favorite, Lux Radio Theatre (CBS), which debuted in October, 1934.
- GoofsJohn says that Norfolk is only 90 miles away; if Waltons Mountain is supposed to be in the vicinity of Schuyler, that distance is actually about 175 miles.
- Quotes
Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] By the Fall of 1934, people were beginning to hope that the worst of the Depression was over. Some jobs were opening up and there was an urgency in the country to get up and get going again. There was a restless feeling to life, we all felt it, and my father was no exception. The fall of that year brought him the first real discontent we ever knew him to have.
Featured review
Soap Opera Invades Walton's Mountain.
Story line brings to mind Hardys Ride High.Don't like movie or this episode. Ralph Waite and Will Geer both act ridiculous. Richard Thomas does what he can to bring some coherence and social or redeeming value to this mess.
