This show is so good (excepting some very serious, serious moments that I found hard to watch) that it is a very classic series, and will be for years to come. 100 times better than modern TV, these episodes get more serious nearing the end. I have watched the first six seasons, and have three more to go. One of the grandparents dies in the sequence of events, because he or she actually did die, so that can't be helped. A lot more relaxing to watch than TV now, the actors portray very good emotion, and seem to get along well. Little House on the Prairie is also in the same category.

7/3/10
The 6 movies made after the series are available since this was written, and are good, like the series.

Of all the T.V. series Box Sets I own, this has to be one of the very best.

DVDs were copied and sent from China! Came in 4 plastic boxes, all of which were broken, plastic pieces everywhere. All covers on boxes are the same, all labels on the dvd's are the same (as the covers).They are just marked with a handwritten number! The series I ordered was supposed to come with the three movies, however, I have no way of knowing if the movies are included or which ones they are! I am more than angry. I could have had a teenager make copies of this product, go online for the correct covers and had better results! Plus, once this was ordered from Amazon, it went to a different source who confirmed the order, and disappeared from my Amazon account as an "open" or closed order. As far as Amazon is concerned, do I even have an order as it has no history! I think if your order is going to go to CHINA you should be warned and given an opportunity to have an "out" to cancel. I was not able to track the order until it arrived in the USA so had no way of knowing it was coming from China! If this weren't a Christmas present I would gladly tell them to shove it!

Would highly recommend for families. Our 8 year old granddaughter is already hooked. She stayed with us one weekend and we ended up watching over 6-7 hours of The Waltons. In this day and age of so many problems it is refreshing seeing a family sticking together and overcoming obstacles with love and caring.

My family enjoyed watching the Waltons but a couple of the cases were quite damaged. Also we discovered
finger prints and some scratches on the season nine Dvds. I would have gone with another company if I would
have known the condition of the product.

Was really excited to get this series as a Christmas gift. Opened up the first season and the first disk was missing. To get a replacement, I have to send the entire nine season series back which I'm reluctant to do because they are out of stock. Wish there was a way to resolve it some other way.

I watched this with my parents and loved it. I watched it with my kids and loved it. Those times were, hands down, the best "couch cuddle time" memories that we have. My daughter bought the set to watch with her son and I watched it with my 9 1/2 y/o grand daughter. At first, she didn't want to watch some old tv show that I liked "back in the day", but as soon as I started watching one by myself she got involuntarily hooked.

The show brings up a lot of very good topics for discussion. Though the show starts in the Depression, the themes are still relevant today. We had many serious discussions, initiated by her, after each show ended. As an example, one show had a Jewish Professor and his family escaping Germany to stay at a friend's cabin on the mountain. This was a good opportunity to get into a beginners level discussion of WWII, the Holocaust, anti-semitism, different religions, tolerance, etc. That was one of the more serious themes.

Each episode is chock full of family related issues, sometimes fun and sometimes serious, but always thought provoking and entertaining. As a bonus, each show depicts thrift and self reliance, things kids could use some lessons on.

Can't wait to get to the Walton's Mountain Museum!

I want a bumper sticker that reads: What Would John Boy Do? (think I'll get one made)

The Waltons: The Complete Seasons 1-9. Great product from a great seller (Lee's Movies). Started thinking about buying this series a year or more ago. I am glad I finally did.

Video is good (I do not have Hi Def) as is the audio.

DVDs are in original packaging. There is inconsistency in the packaging over the 9 seasons, but I see no problem. Some open up book-style, some have separate cases, and some have multi-disk holders within each case.

I have no complaints about this product. I just wish there were more than 9 seasons!

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this collection. I watched them, at least some or them when they were first produced, then have seen many in re-runs , but not in any certain order. This time, I watched from day 1 all the way through 9 years. I never realized how much history could be learned from the series, getting a bird's eye view of the Greta Depression and then the start of the Nazi takeover in Europe and eventually the US involvement. Everything was historically correct, not just the script, but the sets and props as well. Occasionally you could catch a prop or 2 that would have been impossible in the early 1940's....like plastic! I watched the complete series of Little House on the Prairie, then the complete Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, before I watched The Walton's. This was like a history of the US starting at the conclusion of the War Between the States all the way until`the mid-late 20th century. I purchased these video sets with the intention of selling after watching, but now I plan to keep them in my collection. Would be great to watch every 5-10 years to compare things then with now, especially politics and civil rights which are surprisingly the same.

I have been a fan of The Waltons for ages & when I saw that Amazon had all nine seasons for just over $100 I went & ordered this straight away. Thanks Amazon for such a great deal, I will enjoy watching this series & re-live some of my most finest Waltons moments. Night John-Boy, Night Ma, Night Pa lol...
