Poor Mr Walton has died. While I liked him, He would have been too strict for me. Who would you like as your onscreen Dad ?

I always thought the feud between the Ingalls family and the Waltons was a great story twist...

Talking about long johns and little house on the prairie in one sentence did you know that pa Ingalls wore no long johns not even an underpants while filming :eek:
Nellie OIeson wrote about it in her book Confessions of a Prairie Bitch. Information overload I know but I couldn't resist

It's funny how much times have changed. When I was a kid in the 70's all those programmes like The Waltons and Little house on the prairie had a moral at the heart of each episode, now it's Grand Theft Auto or some such, simpler times they were.

Seriously sexy. Himself and the wife were really into each other on the show. Loved that.

That's true. You must be around the same age as me.

Will Geer. A contemporary of Woody Guthrie and the recently deceased Pete Seeger, he was blacklisted in the 1950s for being un-American, ie a communist. In the 1990s President George H Bush asked why Americans couldn't be more like the Waltons!

Missymoohaa · 14-02-2014 09:14PM

My on screen dad would have to be Jed Bartlett from The West Wing, coz he's one of the good guys and he lives in the White House......

or Bill Cosby.

GTA is an over-18's video game and not a programme streamed on daytime TV. Kids still watch kid stuff; the likes of Spongebob and Powerpuff girls have been going strong for years now. These are quality shows for kids, clever and witty, and I'd honestly think they're better off watching the likes of these than The Waltons, which was harmless but dumb as a bag of rocks.

John Goodman or John Candy in whatever.

Each to their own, I don't have kids so I don't know what kids watch on tv, but frankly Spongebob is for simpletons and stoners.

Mr Walton RIP
