Just watched The empty nest. Likely this will be the final season I watch. The series really changed and not to the better. With cast members leaving...it just didnt have the "feel" the previous seasons had. I will take a break and then start watching season one again. Then all will be well in Walton world! I often wish we could do the same thing in our own lives--revisit happier times whenever we wanted.So true!!! I think I would like to go back to my small town where I grew up walking to church with mom and dad swinging me between them and my brother running ahead with his big silly grin....

I would too like to go back to happier when I was growing up,but we can't be in past,we have to be in the here and now. When I was growing that was the happist time in my life,there were no cares in the world back than for,I know the adults had cares in the world,but as children we didn't.

I wonder if any of the TV/movie people think after the fact "that we should have paid him/her what they wanted? I think the producers sort of liked the idea of Curt being killed at Pearl Harbor -- for the "drama" -- so they really didn't have that much problem losing Tom Bower.... bringing Bower back for the "resurrection" wouldn't have made much difference, since it was covered in only two episodes and would never be a continuing, popular role anyway....
I strongly feel, however, that they made a huge mistake killing Curt off in the first place -- one of my favorite roles on the show, and Tom Bower aced it ! ... they should have paid him the money ! ... perhaps they were indeed sorry when they started struggling to come up with good storylines later in the series.
They could have had a spinoff with Mary Ellen, Curt, and John Curtis living in Hawaii.

The "Curt coming back" completely threw me for a loop. But no matter the discrepancies of the later years and the movies, I still love to watch every episode, from The Homecoming to the last movie where Mary Ellen delivers John Boys twins, The Waltons will forever warm my heart and lift my spirits.
