INSP Network

[Tracey]

I left a message for them on Facebook about those 4 episodes that Hallmark refused to aired on televison which they are: The Crisis, The Competition, The Ordeal, and The Grandchild and they will check into that for me so I will let you know. Keep our fingers crossed that Inspiration Network will air it...

I hadn't heard anything about a refusal to air? Why would they not want to air those particular episodes?

I never knew there were episodes that Hallmark refused to show. I know Pat Robertson did not allow "The Ghost Story" and "The Changeling" shown on the Family Channel because he felt those episodes had occult themes.

I'm a little disappointed since I have the list through November 12 and from season 1 they are not airing for the following:

The Minstrel
The Fire
The Scholar
The Bicycle
The Townie
and The Crisis

On November 11 and 12 Season 2 start with The Journey and The Odyssey

Although this doesn't affect me as I can't get INSP in England, what is the reason for those episodes in particular not being aired? It seems quite a shame as The Fire was, in my oppinion, one of the best in Season 1.

Ther are probably reasons why these episodes were not shown---
The Minstrel might give children the idea it is all right to associate with strangers despite what their
parents say.
The Fire may be either too violent or else cause people to make a quote out of context and think it is
an endorsement of evolution which it is not.
The Scholar may be too out of touch with the reality that existed in Walton time. Dujring that time a
person like Johnboy who was kind to blacks(they were called Negroes or colored people in those days)
risked having a cross burned on their lawn or worse.
The Crisis might be considered out of season. --It would be like watching Rudolph the Red Nosed
Reindeer in July or Its an Easter Bunny Charlie Brown at Thanksgiving.
