When you mention, good wholesome, family quality Television shows of the past, without a doubt there are two shows that come to mind; The Waltons and Little House On The Prairie. The Waltons has always been the favorite of mine, and like thousands of other viewers, we all enjoy watching it in syndication today, as much as we did when each weekly episode was new back in the 1970's.
If you are a fan of the Waltons, without a doubt there are some people, places and things of the show, that stick in your mind. Some of these are of course the shows creator and narrator Earl Hamner, John Boy and others. Some of the most memorable rooms and places from the show are of course John Boy's room, with his Boatright college banner hanging on the wall, and his desk where he wrote down his stories in his daily journals, the family kitchen with the large table, the Baldwin Sisters famous 'recipe' room and Godseys Store. Some of the most memorable towns or places mentioned on the show are; Waynesboro, Lynchburg, Charlottesville, and the Rockfish River.
