Rewatching Season 8 and 9 recently, I've started to grow very fond of Robert Wightman as John-Boy. Of course, Richard Thomas is my favourite, but I genuinely enjoy and appreciate the performance that Robert Wightman gave and his slightly different take on the character. With that in mind, I created this video tribute to his portrayal. A slightly tongue in cheek video about how John-Boy never quite seemed to be able to live up to the successes of his younger self. I hope you all like it  |

Yes, good job! That must have taken you awhile to edit the scenes with the music.

Yes, good job! That must have taken you awhile to edit the scenes with the music. Thank you yes, it took me quite a few hours to find the right scenes. I had the idea for this ahead of my latest rewatch, so I was making mental notes of episodes which contained scenes I wanted to include as I went through them, which saved a bit of time, at least! |

Thank you for giving Robert Wightman some love! Portraying a recast John-Boy must've been a thankless task, Richard Thomas being so identified with and beloved as John-Boy. And as much as I loved Richard Thomas as John-Boy, Robert Wightman grew on me. I'd like to think he is still in touch with cast and crew.

I always thought of Robert Wightman as the older, wiser, grown up version of John Boy.

I enjoyed this. You did a fantastic job. I hope one day someone will do one specifically about Wightman. I know it would be much shorter, however, I think in all fairness to him there should be something for him without Richard Thomas looming in the background. True, they both played the same part, however, Thomas has received soooo much recognition. I feel strongly that Wightman actually saved season 8and 9 and did a great job of it. That deserves individual credit.
Again, I think you did a great job. I’m just one of those people that hates to see someone overlooked for a great job.
Thanks for sharing this.
