Summary: NOT THE WALTONS WE LOVE
Comment: This is the point of the waltons where the main cast is GONE ALL GONE. Grandpa is dead, John curtis is dead, Grandma is not getting much appearence due to her lack of speech, the mother is back for only 12/24 episodes and after waiting approx. 3 seasons for the return of John-Boy, he's finally back AS A NEW ACTOR. This is not the Waltons we love. That is 5 CHARACTERS CHANGED. This season is a waste.I can't talk about the set because it is not yet released but THE CAST IS GOING DOWN IN QUALITY. I rated this a 2 instead of 1 because at least we get Jim-Bob, the Dad, Ben, Jason, Mary Ellen , Aaron and SOME OF MOM AND GRANDMA.

Summary: Wow! for The Waltons
Comment: Wow - season 8 is finally here! Not only do I look forward to this and season 9, I hope that all of "The Waltons" movies are put on DVD as well. I was in high school when this show started - it is my all time favorite show!

Summary: The Waltons, World War, and more Change
Comment: Season Eight was a particular interesting year for The Waltons. Michael Learned (Olivia) returned for twelve episodes, Ellen Corby is seen in fewer episodes as Grandma, and Robert Wightman makes his first appearance as John-Boy; replacing Richard Thomas for the rest of the series.
Despite these things, the show still retained its family values, and appeal. The season begins with World War II raging, John-Boy is missing in action, Jason is in charge of recruits, and Olivia struggles to keep up with her changing family. Erin, Elizabeth, and Mary Ellen do their best to help in the war effort, and Ben and Cindy have their first baby.
When Olivia leaves to go back to the Sanitorium, Rose--a close family member--comes to help with the needs of the family. Jason befriends a woman named Toni (his future wife), and Jim-Bob finishes flight school and heads to war as a pilot.
The following is a list of the 24 episodes of this season:
1. The Home Front (1)
2. The Home Front (2)
3. The Kinfolk
4. The Diploma
5. The Innocents
6. The Starlet
7. The Journal
8. The Lost Sheep
9. The Violated (1)
10. The Waiting (2)
11. The Silver Wings
12. The Wager
13. The Spirit
14. The Fastidious Wife
15. The Unthinkable
16. The Idol
17. The Prodigals
18. The Remembrance
19. The Inspiration
20. The Last Straw
21. The Traveling Man
22. The Furlough
23. The Medal
24. The Valediction
While it is true that by this point in the show, some of the quality was degrading. But, for a true fan, this season is a Godsend.
