yeah, I didnt know richard cussed like a sailor(his words) and he shows that a couple of times in those interviews...took me by surprise
also, on one of those michael one's, she said that the adults tried to watch their cussing around the kids. but the kids were worse than the adults lol I can see Judy cussing up a storm lol
Tat 1st one with Earl has a story about ellen getting mad at him(earl) cause he wouldnt let her re write an episode---I guess ellen was known to wanna rewrite scripts lol michael mentions it too..Can u imagine that?! Someone wanting to Re-Write a genius like Earl Hamner?! that's hilarious!

There are few greater desires in the world than to edit someone else's writing !! |

yeah, but no way she was better than earl Of course she could be. A bit later -- Just looked this up -- Although Hamner was the creator of The Waltons (221 episodes), he only wrote 8 or 9 of the episodes. His other writings were: 4 novels 3 non-fiction 2 screenplays 15 teleplays It seems that he was not very prolific, as writers go.... I don't get it -- did he have another source of income? |

Earl may have only been credited for writing a few episodes, but he was executive producer/story editor (head writer), which meant that he shaped the scripts of other writers. And he was part owner of the show. So he made a good living.

I don't get it -- did he have another source of income? jeri, I love ya, but ya dont think ellen was as good as earl, do ya? he did uncredited punchup's and rewrites to just about every walton's script.....not to mention he wrote every voice over narration he did in every episode and he was the hands on show runner who approved every script and would tell the writers what direction to write their scripts |

We'll never know. I like that Earl had such involvement with the show -- it probably added to the continuity. But it could also have limited his horizons. |

He also created Falcon's Crest, which was a great commercial success. Not sure how many of the episodes of that show he wrote.
