I always thought it would be interesting to create a waltons series that would be more prequel than sequel. They could set it during John and Olivia's teenage years. It would be fascinating to see Grandpa and Grandma Waltons as parents. They could also include John's brother Ben who died during the war and younger versions of Ike and the Baldwins.....

That is a very interesting idea. I know I would watch a show like that.
Any suggestions for current stars who would play the main characters?

I love that idea ikemeister! That would be a great idea even for a movie or mini-series.

We could perhaps get some background about Olivia's family,what her parents were like,and their objections to their daughter dating John and eloping with him. Perhaps the movie or mini-series would end with the birth of John Boy or deal with such issues as the death of Jim Bob's twin brother,Joseph Zebulon,and end when Elizabeth is born.

I like the idea of a prequel. I think the sequels have been done to death with some of those wacky reunions set too far into the future. Please submit a script Ikemeister

the cast are all getting a little older but so are we all. it still would be a great idea if they reunite for another reunion movie.

Excellent idea, but they're really have to be careful in choosing who played the characters. They'd have to be very similar in appearance and personalities in order to make it feel like part of the actual Waltons.

So many have died or are too old to look the same so that puts a dubious perspective on a Walton reunion movie sorry to say
