It was also one of the only ones to survive CBS’s rural purge. The network was trying to avoid sitcoms about rural families and didn’t think it would succeed. They made it as a favor to Congress anyway to ease their fears about the morality of TV.
The Waltons proved them wrong. Its cast was so tight-nit and well-received that fans kept coming back to see what they would do. They also became a family when filming ended. Michael and Richard went on a date, though it didn’t lead to the dream relationship fans had hoped for. John Ritter helped Mary Elizabeth overcome the pressure to stay thin and beautiful that made her adopt unhealthy eating habits.
The famous Walton home was an essential part of the house but wasn’t all it appeared. Exterior shots of it had nothing inside, and the indoor shots were filmed in an entirely different set. It still managed to be an integral part of pop culture and became the Dragonfly Inn on The Gilmore Girls. The Waltons had carefully crafted stories, but it also had plenty of bloopers and goofs. Wardrobe malfunctions left characters coming and going with different clothes. Things that shouldn’t have been in the show based on its time period appeared anyway. Dates and details changed in the TV movies. Even the gender of the family dog couldn’t be kept consistent.
These goofs didn’t keep fans from coming back. They only served as tiny details for them to notice and talk about on repeat viewings. Like and subscribe for more on the most wholesome sitcoms of all time. Watch our video to learn facts and bloopers about The Waltons.
