What Walton's sets have you seen in other TV shows or movies?
The Dukes of Hazzard used a few. The town of Charlletsville was the town of Hazzard(as well as the town in Ghost Whisper,The Shootest,It;s a Wonderful Life). One Dukes episode in particuler I was watching, even had The Walton house in it. I kept looking for John Boy or Olivia. IIRC, Peggey Rea (Boss Hogg's wife) was even on that episode.

Awwww... now that's just WRONG!! That house is the Walton house and no one elses! Now I can totally see why Michael Landon blew up the structures from the LHOTP lot. (I wish I hadn't seen the structures being blown up - but I understand it.)
I wasn't a Dukes of Hazzard fan, so thankfully - I don't have to see the Walton house in another show.

I have read that some of the same outdoor sets or lots were used for both Here Come the Brides and the Waltons. Here Come the Brides only ran from 1968/70 I think, so probably they didn't overlap.
Here is an interesting tidbit about sets being used for different shows. The original Star Trek was a Desilu production, and the Andy Griffith Show was as well. In one episode of Star Trek, Kirk, Spock and McCoy go back in time to New York City, circa 1930.* In one scene you see Kirk and this young woman named Edith Keeler walk past Floyd's Barber Shop. So obviously the Andy Griffith set was being used for Depression era NYC. Also in Gone with the Wind, the burning of Atlanta was actually the burning of old MGM sets.
*The name of this Star Trek episode was The City on the Edge of Forever.

We had a discussion about the Walton house a year or so ago, and it was indeed the house where the Ken Berry character lived in Mayberry RFD. I'll try to find the thread later when I have more time. The Walton house was used for something else in the 60s, too, but I can't remember now what it was. And of course the newer Walton house that sits on the Warner Bros ranch was used in the TV show Gilmore Girls. |

I stumbled across this a few months ago.... www.1164.com/ranch/photos/waltons/index.htmlDidn't know the house was still being used for shows. It was mentioned "newer Walton house", was there more than one house used? And there are pics on this site of fans visiting the house recently. Does it appear like it does on the 1164.com site, a bare shell, or like on the fan pics a basically complete house? |

There were 2 houses. The original house used on the TV series was located on Warner Bros back lot. It was destroyed by a fire in 1991, and was rebuilt on Warner Bros Ranch for the 1990s reunion movies. That is the house many of the forum members saw in 2012 at the 40th anniversary Waltons Reunion. It is also the house used in the Gilmore Girls tv show for their Dragonfly Inn. You can read about it here: The House/Filming |

I find this a very interesting topic. I am sure the house will be used for future shows as well. I wonder if they used any other "Walton tv show
Cindy" buildings?
