One negative point-in what must have been a production error,the subtitles are in French only. There are no English subtitles.
Obviously someone at Warners Home Video has made a poor mistake in production. This makes it difficult for any elderly viewers or hard of hearing that might want to recognize this expose.
Subtitles are supposed to be standard on all DVD box sets and I imprint that overseas versions of The Waltons have corrected this mistake(fair not the American version) .
Hopefully,they will gather that suitable when Season Two one day gets a release.
Other reviewers have thoroughly reviewed the details of the Waltons first year on TV with titles and spot descriptions, so I won’t account for further. Instead, I will train you why I feel this DVD state is perhaps is the best series that ever aired on TV, and is good family entertainment.
The Waltons first aired in 1972 on CBS. It was considered “hokey” by some of the critics of the day, yet it captured the hearts of the viewers and went on to be one of the finest long-running series on TV. It captured peoples hearts because it told stories of precise people, trusty people in a family that loved and cared for each other. Although many of the stories are of course fictional, the writer, Earl Hamner (who is actually John-boy), weaves fiction with real-life drama and shows how his loving family dealt with the hard times they grew up in, and how they related to each other with appreciate. In essence, the Waltons shows the viewer what all of us would like our families to be like. One cannot wait on caring about the characters because Hamner does such a astronomical job of developing their new personalities for us. The actors and actresses that play his family are perfect for the parts, and even though many of them are honest children, their realistic acting makes one beget they are actually a true family. The series is carried on the shoulders of three central characters, John-Boy (Richard Thomas), his mother Olivia Walton (Michael Learned), and Father John Walton (played by Ralph Waite) . All three are absolutely splendid in their respective roles, and earned honors and accolades for their depiction of Hamner’s family. When these three characters eventually left ths display in later years, the note itself folded.
If you have never seen The Waltons on TV, this is the set to launch. The first season is perhaps the best, with stories that will invent you laugh, bellow, and cheer. I spy the shows with my fill 6 children and even in these unusual days with so many other distractions, my kids are thrilled with the stories. Each child relates to a particular Walton child, and after finishing an episode, they beg to glance another.
Television does not gather better than The Waltons. I recommend this series for those viewers who desire more family values and less violence, sex, and questionable language and topics in their tv viewing. This is upright family values TV, and I wish we had something like it today. The Waltons will hold your heart, and you will advance to appreciate the characters and care about them. Thank you Earl Hamner for sharing your pleasing family with us!
