If you could create one more episode of The Waltons, what would you do? I don't mean, what would you do if you were able to write a new reunion, but if you had the magical power to create one more episode to fill in a gap at any point in the show's history. My choice would be to have a new Jenny episode in Season 3 - Jenny was clearly so important to John-Boy, yet only really gets directly mentioned once after The Thanksgiving Story. I'd love a story that wrapped things up between them, because Jenny was a great character so given the magical power to retroactively create one more Waltons episode, what would it be? And feel free to suggest another reunion, if you want that more!

Series finale: 1) Last scene: Original Curt walks through the front door "I made it back from Japan! I've been a prisoner for 4 years! ! I'm back! Where's Mary-Ellen?" cut to credits... Or 2) Last scene: Richard Thomas walks through the front door. "I've been kidnapped by some crazy people for years. They've got some guy named Robert Wightman who is trying to pass himself off as me. He wants to gain your trust and then will steal the deed to the house!. Call the police" ..scene fades to black...roll the credits.

If they can revive Curt then I can revive Ashley Longworth Sr. I would have Ashley Sr. come back and sweep Miss Emily off of her feet. He'd tell her how he never stopped loving her even though her father used his power and influence and drove him out of Virginia and her life.They would get married under the tree that they shared their first kiss under all those years ago and spend their remaining years together. I'd also have an old suitor of Miss Mamie's turn up so she wouldn't be lonely.
We'd also see Elizabeth graduate high school Mary Ellen graduate medical school, Jim Bob get his pilot license
This would probably have to be a 2 hr episode in order to get it all in..LOL

And Drew and Elizabeth would get married. Of course she would have to be old enough to marry but heck, we know time continuity was a bit fluid on that show so...poof!....Elizabeth is old enough to marry.

I would have liked to have seen Jason and Toni's wedding. Maybe combining customs from both Christian and Jewish weddings.
I would have liked to have seen John finally be able to build the house on the top of the mtn. and have it ready for Olivia when she gets back from AZ. Maybe let Ben and Cindy take over the old house.
JohnBoy settles down. Mary Ellen graduates med. school. JimBob builds and flies his airplane. Elizabeth goes to college.
If they could have got Jonathan Frakes back, I would have rather seen him with Erin.

I'd like to see John Boy graduate from Boatwright before leaving the show for New York.

The whole family reunited for Elizabeth's graduation. I would like it for to be Richard Thomas and not Robert W playing John Boy.

Gee I'd love to see a prequel....an episode going back in time to when Zeb and Esther met when they were young, getting married, clearing their land and building the house and having their 3 sons. Then we'd get to meet Uncle Ben before he went off to war plus the other son we never hear about and we'd get to see what shaped John Walton as a young man. Into this mix we could have the young Martha-Corinne and Henry living up in their mountain home long before the bulldozers came and swept it all away - they could come to Zen and Esther's wedding. I would really love to see this happen, all those characters Zeb and Esther speak about from their youth could be brought to life...Ike's parents, the Baldwin sisters as young girls...and Judge Baldwin! Maybe even one step further and the arrival of Rome and Rebecca-Lee Walton to the mountain in 1789 as pioneers? I think we have the makings of a Walton's mini-series here!

I would like an episode that clears up the mystery of Charlie ben and cindy's missing son. I hate loose ends, I would also make sure Virginia pulled through from scarlet fever.

One more episode. It would probably sound boring but I would have John Boy alone at a desk surrounded by papers and his diaries. Then I would have him reading them (not out loud) and flashbacks to memorable events in his and the family's life. I would end it with him smiling and laying the diaries aside, clearly happy with his life.

Do we know that Zeb and Esther's third child was a boy? I always thought it was the little girl that Zeb mentioned one time. Someone named Amy and she died from scarlet fever. I'd like to see which branch of the Walton family that Corabeth came from. They seemed snobby compared to the Walton's Mtn. and Blue Rock Creek Waltons. Or maybe the snobiness came from Corabeth's mother's family.

Love the prequel idea... As to a wrap up...Real Johnboy with his family returns for a visit to the cabin he bought, Olivia and John have a house on the mountain. Ben and Cindy have the old farm house and mill. They all gather to relive memories. My version though has the first Curt still alive living on the mountain as a Dr. with Mary Ellen as his nurse, Elizabeth going to Boatright, Jim Bob married to the first Amy Godsey, he is a local mechanic assists with the store, Jason writing his music and still running the Dew Drop Inn, Erin with GW living on his farm.
