I was driving home the other day and listening to Walton music and got to thinking about how I would end the series. I have all the episodes but often only watch up to the end of season six when Grandma comes home. I read some where that Earl Hamner himself didn't like the direction the series was going after season five. Neither did I. So here goes: John Boy of course follows Earl Hamner's life. Marries... 2 children John and Olivia build the dream house on the mountain and retire there. Jason during the war plays with the music shows for soldiers and goes on to compose and play music for Hollywood movies. Marries. 1 child Kurt returns from the war and he and Mary Ellen stay on the mountain continuing to provide medical care. 3 children. Erin marries Rev. Buchanon. 2 children Ben marries Cindy. He continues to run the mill and co-op. 5 children. Move into the house after John and Olivia move out. Grandma and Grandpa remain with them until they pass. Jim Bob marries Amy Godsey. 1 child. Run the store and garage. Elizabeth marries Drew who works with Ben and she becomes a school teacher. 2 child.
...AND THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!

If I could have my wish, Grandma and Grandpa would have lived and been healthy and happy throughout the show. Olivia would have been healthy and stayed at home throughout the show. And, they all lived happily ever after. I was looking at my Old Virginia cookbook. At the same time you were listening to your music! Hugs!

good ideas. I didn't mind the war years episodes, except for John and Oliva leaving. And Rose and those two kids shoud've been left out.

This is great! If I have some time, I will write my own "How would you end the series." It will be weird/warped, however. It won't be this sick/weird, though. Frank hopes he hasn't offended anyone.

In many ways JB did kill the Waltons when he quit the show.
Jim Bob marring Amy? I am not comfortable with that.

John-Boy has returned post-head injury and Daisy arrives one day with her little girl. They rekindle the romance and marry...like they should have in the first place. Olivia has decided to go to college part-time and John, Ben and Jason are running the mill successfully. G.W did not die and has returned from the war and marries Erin, they build their own home on his parcel of land, Erin has twins. Curt returns and he and Mary-Ellen reopen his practice and have another baby. Elizabeth goes off to college and stays there Grandma comes home to stay. Jim-Bob meets and falls in love with the daughter of the new preacher (in my episode a new preacher turns up). Amy returns as a teacher in Waltons Mountain school. And to top off the final episode Corabeth discovers she is pregnant with a miracle mid-life baby, all goes well and she has a baby boy. That would be my dream final episode .

Tried to come up with something "Bizarro Walton's endings" Here goes:
Jason remains in Germany after WW2, entertaining troops with music. Then in 1960, Jason discovers the Beatles in Hamburg and becomes very rich.
Mary-Ellen and Erin travel to Washington and see 3rd Curt (played by Sam Elliott...some eye candy for the ladies here) on the steps of the capitol building. Mary-Ellen and Curt argue…and in a bizarre twist, Erin marries 3rd Curt on the following day and they move to Fiji. Mary-Ellen remains in Washington as a political activist and prevents the Kennedy assassination in 1963
Elizabeth moves to California and marries actor Rod Taylor (thus becoming Elizabeth Taylor) and names her first girl “Judy Norton”.
Cindy’s business minded brother Jerry moves to Walton’s mountain. Together with Ben they come up with a great business idea and move to Vermont to start “Ben and Jerry’s”
Jim-Bob begins to design cars and later invents the Batmobile for the 60s TV series, and then “Herbie the love bug”
John-Boy travels to Korea during the Korean war and is stationed at Mash 4077 for six months before he returns home with a bunch of Klinger’s dresses and opens a clothing store to get some part-time income.
Ike feels a need to go back to his roots and discovers that he is the grandson of Charles and Caroline Ingalls.
John & Olivia remain in the same home with Grandma and Grandpa, and then cousin Oliver visits them/lives with them and all sorts of disaster begin to happen around the house. Then one day John was shootin' at some food, and up through the ground came a-bubblin' crude. Well the first thing you know Ol' John’s a millionaire, Kinfolk said "John move away from there". Said "California's the place you outta be". So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly.

Christmas episode with a fall wedding for Drew and Elizabeth. It s sadly more realistic with Ike and John and the actors who played them passed away now. Many interesting things could happen while all the children and Michael Learned Mama Walton are still alive, but so far just in our thoughts.
