I'm a professor teaching a class on TV programming and have a foggy memory of a Walton's episode that may fit into an upcoming unit. Was there an episode where John Boy loses his virginity? I know it is a wholesome family show, but I seem to recall something like that from watching the show years ago. I know John Boy started to act older and began smoking a pipe, and I know he had a few girlfriends throughout the years. Can anyone help?

In the book Spencer's Moutain he does, but what happens in the book isn't in an episode.

None of the actual Walton's series indicates he lost his virginity. Just some mild necking goes on. ;D

Definitely in Spencer's Mountain. More like Ben in the episode where he comes home married, an John talks to him about being a man now with responsibilities. David

Jim-Bob does in Season 9. Where? In the episode where he knows that he stayed all night with a girl , but can't remember what he did or did not do? I have never seen an episode that deals with any of the kids having sex.

There was an episode in season 9 when Jennifer Jason Leigh played Kathy,who lied about being pregnant with Jim Bob's child. Also in season 9,in the episode "The Indiscretion",Elizabeth and Drew contemplated spending a night alone but decided against it.

The only one I remember is Jim Bob, as a girl said he was the father of the baby she was carrying, season 9 I think.

Really? I thought that he told John that he really had. Perhaps I'm misremembering.

Jim Bob didn't say he had sex with that girl. He said he drank too much and all he remembered was waking up in her place the next morning. I remember that distinctly. There are no episodes where anyone has sex on the Walton's...except maybe Livy & John and that is subtly hinted at when they snuggle up together in bed at the end of the day.

Kathy Seale or Jennifer Jason-Leigh if you prefer, wanted to escape an unhappy home life by getting married.

I thought it was like this. Kathy fell in love with Jim Bob but he didn't her. If you remember Mary Ellen confronted her about the pregnancy, having the medical knowledge that she had and got suspicious. Kathy made up the whole pregnancy thing to latch on to Jim Bob. Jim Bob said that they had to much to drink that night and all he remembered was waking up in her bed the next morning. I remember Kathy confessing to someone that all she did was set awake all night and watch him sleep. I remember Jim Bob telling his Dad that it probably was his baby. She wasn't pregnant all along. Could a person really drink enough to not remember if they did or didn't have sex?
