This one is extremely difficult. Lorimar assembled such a great team of writers for this show. I love just about all of them. Some of my personal favorites would be:
Michael Russnow and Tony Kayden ("The Thoroughbred")
Ralph Senensky ("The Conflict")
John McGreevey (anything he wrote, but especially "The Hunt", "The Star", and "The Legend")
Earl Hamner ("The Reunion")
Dale Eunson, Andy White, Earl Hamner ("The Achievement")
Marion Hargrove ("The Prophecy") - This one, I think, we all can relate to.
Seth Freeman ("The Intruders")
Andy White ("The Wing-Walker", "The First Casualty")
Joanna Lee, Earl Hamner ("The Thanksgiving Story")
Dale Eunson ("The Heritage")

I could go on and on! This is nearly impossible!

Wow! Impressive!

Not really. It's all listed on the DVD boxes but some of these episodes I've watched enough times that I know the writers by heart. Also, I'm one of those devoted "credit watchers." I'm the last guy who leaves the movie theater when the movie is over because I'm watching all the credits roll. It drives my wife nuts!

John McGreevey- Whenever I see his name on the beginning credits I know I am in for a good episode.
Earl Hamner- You can't beat perfection!

Will,

You are so right. As many times as I've seen the Waltons I should be able to recite who directed/ wrote /appeared in what...but noone can be as goods as TRACEY

One of my favorite episodes is Day of Infamy and Paul Savage was the writer.

I also enjoy anything written by Rod and Claire... Grandma Comes Home, The Empty Nest, The Anniversary, The Firestorm, The Wedding...

I also enjoy John McGreevey - The Best Christmas, The Foundling, The Hunt, The Easter Story

And of course anything by Earl Hamner...

I just watched The Separation the other day - I just love Grandma and Grandpa. Good story telling by Ellen Corby. I just thought it was so cute that after 50 years of marriage you could still get jealous!
