Thought Provoking, Discussion Starting Shows
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Throughout this series, members of the Walton family face various issues which are still relevant to life today. Set in the Depression years, topics raised in each episode provide material for family discussion. Hospitality, parents, the elderly, faith, pets, mercy, and "the recipe", are issues that kids (and adults) deal with often. I have found that some of the episodes are less believable, such as the one called "The Sinner". In it, Olivia (Ma) lets a preacher berade her children and call them to repent, while her husband tries to defend the kids. I don't think there's too many moms who would relate to Olivia in this case (she does come around later). There are still several ideas that would provide good topics of family discussion. It is fun to watch the Walton family interact and have a good time together. For that reason I would recommend this series.
