The Waltons: The Complete Series

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

I’ve been watching the Waltons on tv for many years, but I had never seen the entire series from beginning to end. My husband, knowing that I enjoyed the series, gave me the complete set for Christmas. Now that I’ve watched the entire set (including movies), I realize how much I had missed by watching it on tv as time allowed.

Seasons 1-7 are single side discs, but seasons 8-9 are on double-sided discs. I’m not sure why they decided to go with the double-sided discs. I’m not a fan of double-sided discs as they tend to have more issues than a regular disc. Thankfully, I only had a small glitch in one episode during season 8. The rest of the discs played well.

The movies are included on 3 discs with 2 movies per disc. I had seen the first 3 movies on tv, but I had never seen the last 3 movies. It was interesting to see how the lives of the Waltons played out over time. The original family core remained strong, but they definitely changed with the times. The final 3 movies definitely had a different feel to them, and there were some serious inconsistencies that took place from the shows to the movies and even within the movies themselves.

The show is family friendly while still addressing some tough issues that come with growing up (relationships, alcohol, smoking…). They also addressed society issues such as slavery, racial tension, war… While there is some language in the shows, it is very tame compared to today’s television series.

There were issues with many of the discs, i.e., episodes would not play or multiple scenes would be skipped over, making the episode worthless. These discs weren’t viewed until after the “window to return” closed so now we’re stuck with a box set that is incomplete. The box set was a gift for my husband and we are both extremely disappointed with the quality of this “collection.”

I ordered this for my husband for Christmas because he grew up watching the Waltons and missed the shows. It is a great compilation of all 9 seasons plus 6 movies. It arrived in perfect condition, plays beautifully and made for a great gift. I recommend this this set for anyone with the nostalgic flair for the Waltons!
