What was your favorite 2 parter episode of TW? As for me, I think mine would be "The Wedding" or "The Burn Out."

The Wedding is my favorite and also the one I forget the title of the episode where Jon-Boy gets badly injured while in the Army!!

"The Burn Out". I also like the one where the war orphans visit the Waltons at Christmastime. Their parents were killed in the war and the little boy refused to talk.

"The Wedding" is excellent, if only because the Curt character was refreshingly blunt and was able to cut through the treacle (such as when he told Mrs. Brimmer that she was too fat). I never thought Curt was propertly utilized during his time on the show -- I would have liked to have seen more stories about him and his practice. Instead, he got pushed into the background and became kind of humorless.

"The Burn-Out" scared the crap out of me when I was younger, but I still enjoy watching it because it's so well-done. "The Easter Story", where Olivia contracts polio, is also very good.

I don't like "The Children's Carol" at all. It tried way too hard to be an important, very special episode -- for the only time in the series, Earl Hamner narrates the pre-credits teaser and even tells us how special it is! Really obnoxious, especially since I didn't think it was all that great. The kids annoyed me, and the ending, where Jim Bob manages to contact the mother (someone doing a very bad British accent) was so contrived and hokey.

I also don't like the episode where Elizabeth breaks her legs and has to learn to walk again. It didn't seem worth a two-hour show, and was too much of a rehash of the Olivia/polio episode.

When it comes down to it, I can't think of any two-part episodes that I liked after the fifth season.
