The Waltons final season. For nine seasons on CBS, The Waltons was a part of a weekly tradition for television viewers.

It was a staple of Thursday nights for so long that many were a little lost when it finally went off the air in 1. Based on the Spencer’s Mountain book by Earl Hamner Jr. Henry Fonda movie of the same name, The Waltons revolves around a large family living in rural Virginia during the Depression and World War II.

Four talented cake artists go to battle for the chance to have their cake as the centerpiece of a party celebrating the animated movie ``Smurfs: The Lost Village. Moana, Star Trek Beyond, and More on Netflix and Amazon Prime This Week.

The family, living on Walton’s Mountain, is comprised of John and Olivia Walton (Ralph Waite and Michael Learned), their seven children, and John’s parents, Zebulon “Zeb” and Esther Walton (Will Geer and Ellen Corby). The story is seen primarily through the eyes of John “John Boy” Walton (Richard Thomas), an aspiring writer and the eldest son. The other children are played by Jon Walmsley, Mary Beth Mc. Donough, Eric Scott, Judy Norton- Taylor, David W. Harper, and Kami Cotler. The mountain setting is also home to several other townspeople like the moonshine- producing spinsters, the Baldwin sisters (Mary Jackson and Helen Kleeb); general store owners Ike and Cora Beth Godsey (Joe Conley and Ronnie Claire Edwards); hard- working African American Verdie Foster (Lynn Hamilton); and undermotivated chicken thief Yancy Tucker (Robert Donner). As the series wore on, the family grew through weddings and births.
