Join me as I dive into the world of The Waltons, a classic TV show that has captured the hearts of many. But today, I'm on a mission to find out if this particular episode is the worst one in history. From the poor plot line to cringe-worthy conclusion, I'll be discussing it all. Is this episode a total flop or is it still worth watching? Let's find out together!

Yeah. I agree, that plot development was trash. As much as I love the Waltons, they definitely dropped the ball pretty much after the Pearl Harbor episode and after Richard Thomas left. It's not that they couldn't come up with interesting storylines, they just didn't maintain the quality of writing and continuity. I cringe when I see Mary Ellen and Erin pretty much wearing 70s style clothing in what is supposed to be the 1940s. And the way the writers neglected Elizabeth was maddening. You would have thought that after Michael Learned left the show (which IMO was a HUGE mistake!) they would have written in more content with Elizabeth dealing with the loss of her mother (to the TB sanitarium) and made Erin and Mary Ellen fill the maternal breach left behind by Olivia's absence. The general tenor of the show is what keeps me watching beyond that point, but the writing and scripts are substandard. I don't fault the actors -- they did what they could with the content they were given. This episode you mention and the one where Elizabeth has some kind of poltergeist(!) are just plain awful and I skip them. I focus on the positives of the show, appreciate the wheat and ignore the chaff.
