I just listened to a closing to "The Fire" episode and noticed that Earl Hamner Jr. sometimes adds the "AH" sound instead of the "R"in those words when he is speaking.

The Beverly Hillbillies and Granny call it sitting down for some Vittles. In the Fancy Eatin' Room with the Pot Passers. We were chatting about the Waltons episode The Boy From The C.C.C. and how he wanted to eat a raccoon. Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies cooked up that sort of stuff like Possum and other things everyday.

Our evening meals are called Supper. On some Sundays(Easter Sunday) it was referred to as the Easter Dinner Meal. The same would be for other holidays like Thanksgiving Dinner Meal or Christmas Dinner Meal. I have no idea why it was different. I am from Northern Virginia.

I surely agree that New Englanders and New Yorkers have quite distinct accents. My Mom was born in Worster, Massachusetts and although my Dad was born in Ireland, their family came to the U.S. through Ellis Island when he was 3. My Dad got the mumps while on the ship. They wouldn’t admit any child to the US who had a contagious disease, so my grandmother wisely decided to put on the sweaters from all my Dad’s siblings (there were 5), so my Dad just looked super fat all over and not just his swollen neck glands from the mumps. Thank God they let him in or I wouldn’t be here as a proud first generation American!
My Mom was raised in MA, but took diction classes in school and to prepare for her radio performances when she moved to NY. So she never had “the accent”! But, that was the “tool” of a good actor or actress - if they were able to do several accents. My Mom could certainly do an Irish brogue and a few others. Plus, she sure surprised us all when she did such a believable German accent in the Walton episode, “The Firestorm”.
I have spoken about the actress Jeanette Nolan (who also was in the Waltons) and I think I mentioned she and her family were often snowed in, on their ranch in Montana, from October through April. So she would have to homeschool her 2 children. She would have them “choose” which “teacher” they wanted that day to teach their classes. i.e. the quiet Swedish teacher or the loud, boisterous German fraulin, the excitable Irish or Scottish schoolmarm or the French mademoiselle to name a few. Their choices were endless because Jen could do SO many accents. Jen would teach the entire day using only the accent her kids picked for all their lessons that day. Maybe some of the parents who had to home school their kids during Covid resorted to the same tactic to keep their children engaged with their own learning. I have home schooled our son for a semester when he was in middle school. It sure ain’t easy!
It is fun to imagine the Walton siblings’ voices dubbed into a foreign language. The show is seen all over the world and I love it when Warner Brothers sells all the episodes to a foreign country because the residuals keep on coming!! I wonder which foreign language Forum members would like to hear the Walton episodes translated into? My vote is Japanese!

We called it Suppa growing up and ate early like 3 or 4, then maybe a little something later if we were still hungry, like a biscuit, cornbread crumbled into a cup of buttermilk, bowl of cereal, etc.
Does anyone know anything about the depression area China that was on the cabinet near the kitchen door? Always wondered what that was? I’m not sure how to find the right forum. I apologize if I’m in the wrong place. Help?

Olivia , Michael Learned seemed to be the only cast member that kept the southern Virginian accent throughout her stay on the show. Not only did she say "Suppah" when she called John Boy by his full name John Walton Junior. It came across as John Walton Junah.

My Mom was raised in MA, but took diction classes in school and to prepare for her radio performances when she moved to NY. So she never had “the accent” It's interesting that you spelled Worster that way.. Here in New England we spell it Worcester, just as they do where the town name originated and when I visited Ohio I noticed they have a town spelled Wooster. I imagined as Americans lived further away from the colonies, they spelled words as it sounded to them, creating the change in spelling. In New England there is a lovely variety of speech from the downeaster of Maine, In Boston there is the Brahmin accent, the North End accent and the Southie. As you move down the coast there is a distinctive change to a Rhode Island accent and as get into Connecticut such as New Haven, you begin hear the influence of Long Island, NY accent on New England speech.

People here for the most part say Warshinhton instead of Washington Pa. I've always said Washington.
