I wasn't born yet when The Waltons originally aired in the 70s. And I didn't see it at all in the 80s, 90s, or 00s. I saw parts of it last year, and I saw a full episode for the first time this year. I've been watching it a lot lately with it being on three channels. The Waltons has quickly become one of my favorite shows and a shoo-in for my next top 100.

I first saw The Waltons in December 1971 when The Homecoming aired. I was a regular watcher through all 9 years of the tv show. It was my Mom's favorite show and since there were no VCR's I had to watch it.It was a great family show though and I wish the networks would start programing for the family again.

I watched The Waltons during it's original run from 72 to 81. I currently watch it on Vision TV which airs the show on weekdays here in Canada. I also own the first three seasons and all the reunion movies on DVD. I hope to eventually purchase the remaining seasons on DVD as well.

I can remember watching episodes during its original run, but I really caught up on the series years after that in reruns.

I don't actually remember when I saw my first episode, but I do know I was little when I saw it. And I've been a fan ever since. :)

And btw, catsrule, love that you have a Frasier quote in your sig! My favorite show, currently! :D

I remember watching it during its original run, Thursdays on CBS.

I was born in 72 and I recall watcing during the original run, although I don't recall the first episode I had seen. I remember watching it and loving the show but forgetting some details such as how Ike and Corabeth first met. Forgetting about Mary Ellen being engaged to David and leaving him for Curt and totally not knowing about her second marriage. I forgot about Erin's spouse but then remembered that hottie Drew, Elizabeth's main squeeze. Put it this way, I remembered enough to still love the show.

Me, I remember "The Homecoming" when it first aired. I was HOOKED on the show and if we were anywhere on Thursday evenings, I would yell at my mom to "Hurry up and get home!!! 'The Waltons' starts in 10 minutes!!!!!"

I borrowed my Moms DVD set last year and watched it. now I have to get a set for myself.

I remember watching some of the later years on the original run. The Early years of the show when I was too young I saw in re-runs.

I remember watching The Homecoming in 1971. I wish CBS would reair it this Christmas.

CBS used to air it every Christmas. I don't even remember the last time they aired it.

In the 70's when it first came on TV. I was in high school.

I just started watching the reruns couple years ago right after I got out of high school I never watched the whole show only once or twice now im really into the show.

The Homecoming, the Christmas story . I remember my Mother explaining to me about the depression and how things were back than. And of course my Mom loved the Homecoming, I did too. Than we always watched the Waltons throughout the run of the series. And I watched again recently on Hallmark.

Awww! :) Look how little Jim-Bob was .

I don't think I saw The Homecoming when it first aired, but I may have. More likely I remember an early repeat airing. I was pretty young but what stood out and remained in my memory was when John Boy received the gift of the writing tablets ("Big Chief?").

Definitely though at times during Season 1, I was watching with my family. (I think I had a bit of a crush on Elizabeth. Little did I suspect what a hottie Erin would become.)

The production values were great -- no wonder we liked it so much...! My dad was born in 1925 so a lot of the cars, clothes, etc. were very familiar to him.

I honestly don't remember, as I grew up watching it as a boy in the 70s. So it must've been pretty much from the beginning. One of my family's favorite shows and we usually watched it every week. I don't much care for the last few seasons when Richard Thomas left and got replaced and there were other cast changes too, like Grandpa Walton dying because Will Geer died in real life. It just wasn't the same anymore those last couple of seasons. But the other seasons I love. It's also got one of my favorite theme songs ever.

My parents introduced me to The Waltons show 3 years ago when I was 10. I really loved it and especially Elizabeth who reminded me of myself.
