The Waltons - The Complete Fifth Season (1976)

Children growing up

In this season you see Mary Ann getting married.
You get a sad feeling that the parents are getting old and all the characters lives are changing rapidly.
Mary Anns wedding and meeting her doctor husband was my favourite episode.
Still all them are in there(which is good).
I honestly liked the 5th and
7th season better but still a good watch. March 14, 2008

Wholesome Family Entertainment

When my mom found out that The Walton's coming out on DVD, she was elated. The fact they are commercial free makes it even better. These disks are great entertain from tweens to the elderly. I would recommend the series to anyone. January 27, 2008

The "Titanic" of "The Waltons": Season Five

Scriptwriters and producers sent "The Waltons" on an irrevocable slow sink (and stink) to the bottom of the TV sea beginning in Season Five. What breached the show's hull in 1976-77? Incredibly poor story ideas and unbelievably lousy character treatment/development. In Season Five, the navigating efforts of the writers/producers seemed more hopeful than certain. In Season Five, creative conviction disappeared. If the show's best actor, Richard Thomas, sensed this downslide, it is little wonder he jumped ship and swam towards more challenging projects.

5 Stars for 5 Great Seasons

The first 5 seasons are very good. I can watch them over and over. After that, I quit collecting the sets. I don't care for the next 4. Not the same after Will Geer died, Ellen Corby had her stroke and Richard Thomas and Michael Learned stopped being regulars. The latter seasons are too based on the war. You would think they are fighting it right there on the mountain. And they try too hard to include grandma in the story when she returns. And then there is Rose and the two kids with her. What's that all about ?? Lastly, the dumbest thing they ever did, was to bring another John-Boy in the show. December 21, 2007
