I have heard that a new Waltons movie is in the works, however no original cast members?  Whats up with that? I will not be watching.  I guess Richard Thomas will do the narration?

@sunshine 919   Neither will I.  I often wonder how someone has the nerve to remake a classic, or as in this case, insert an entirely different cast.

I am right there with you.  I agree with everything you said.

@mousiegirl  I agree. I think a true classic like this one should be left alone. I wonder if production companies and writers have a hard time coming up with original stuff so they decide to do remakes.

@akaburtonfan   That is exactly what I think, and maybe they should look for another profession.

Everything about this show is a pale - very pale - imitation of the original - the actors, dialogue, set, etc.  I lost it in the first half hour when the girl told the boy to "shove it."  Did they talk like that in 1933?  I doubt it.

I lasted about 5 minutes and switched to something else.

Half the show is commercials, so you will be able to skip over them.  It's on for two hours, from 8:00 to 10:00 pm, but I bet the actual run time is not much over one hour.

Bellamy Young (Olivia) was in Scandal.  idk any of the other cast members, I don't think

I'm going to give it a go (recorded it, watching it skipping commericals) after all how many times has It's A Wonder Life and A Christmas Carol been remade?  Not all those remakes are so terrible. 

I also follow Judy Norton on YouTube  Ask Judy.  Search her out on YouTube she's a really good singer. 

eta:  I watched it to the end.  I did not think it was so bad.  Interesting ending.

I just can not accept these actors as "The Waltons".  I only watched for about 15 minutes that was enough for me....changed the channel.
