Waltons: The Complete Ninth Season (DVD)

Season 9 not yet viewed. Our family now has all nine seasons of this series on DVD. The series is uplifting and provides reflections on the benefits of family and community life in difficult times (e.g., great depression of 1930s, world wars) and happier days.

Great family movie

Like all the seasons leading up to it, season nine was well worth the purchace to complete the set, unfortunatly the actor michelle Learnedis hardly featured in epidodes and towards the end neither is John Walton I was only disapointed a little though,The quality of the storys in each episode was of a high standardthough the last episode didn't seem to actually 'Wine' up the Series, for something that went for so many years i sort of expected, perhaps a double episode at the end of the Season orMaybe summing up & a few un-answered stories or 'somthing like that?Anywayz, all in all was a great final season, but i'm sure there's alot of other episodes out there that were missing.Hmmm!....'missing episodes'?(Actually there's one episode i saw where jason has a full-on moustache and goes to new-york ect. wonder what happened to that episode?

I've always Loved the Waltons and never did see the last two seasons. I was so very glad to be able to buy them from Amazon. The changes of characters or some of them not being on the show kind of saddened me but actually I did get used to it. I was thinking because of that I wouldn't care to watch the last two seasons, but I was wrong and enjoyed them as well as the earlier seasons. I still need to get the movie DVD and then my collection will be complete. When I'm done watching I will start over from the beginning. I like to watch at least one show almost every night before going to bed, it gives me such a Very Good Deep Down Feeling. It brings back the memories of me and my big family when we were growing up.

We watched all of the ninth season everything was good. Thankfully we read the small print on the desk stating that you need to flip it over for more shows. Which we did, and there are

As with the other seasons, this depicts life in the mountains of Virginia. This season depicts life during the years of World War II. The children have grown and new demands have entered their lives and new sorrow has also entered the life of the Walton Family. Good clean family entertainment, especially for those who love history and want to step back in history to a time when life was simpler and families stayed together and weathered the hardships of life. I don't think divorce lawyers would have survived in those years because both men and women believed marriage was until death do you part.

So far a good season - my sons are especially interested in all things WWII - so are enjoying that aspect of the show.. there are some episodes we have avoided, like one in which a girl Jim-Bob dated claims to be pregnant with his child and shows up at their house -- we're not quite ready for that storyline (I probably watched this episode when the show orginally aired in the 70's when I was 10 or 11 years old - it probably just confused me more than anything!). Otherwise, we watched most all the other episodes - just use your own judgement...

The ninth or last season of the Waltons held happy endings for some, but not for all of the people living on Waltons Mountain. Not everyone's dreams were fulfilled, but it ended with all of the characters, seemingly, accepting whatever life gave them so far. As usual, all is well with the Waltons, but be forewarned that the tenth episode called, "The Tempest" should have never been written. The dead are always left better off dead and not brought back to life, especially in such a disagreeable way. That part was played by a different actor who was not the same actor who had played the original part of the person who was mistaken to be dead. They had to hire a totally new actor just to present us with this unlikely and unnecessary episode. Even the reality of war could not justify such an unbelievable episode as this one was. Neither did it have a happy ending or even a happy followup in another episode. It left me feeling sad and empty, unlike most of the other episodes that had given me so much comfort. The rest of this season was good, but it did not appear that this season was originally intended to end here. I would have preferred that this last season had given us a better ending to the entire story. That could have even been done by John Boy at the end of the last episode, but it was not. In speaking about himself, he could have also added some more information about the rest of the family members in his very last words. In another one of the last episodes of this season, Rose and Stanley finally got married, but it never showed what happened with the rest of the Waltons. Mary Ellen and Erin could have had a double wedding at the Baldwins house in the last episode (something a little more spectacular for a last episode than just an old people's reunion for the Baldwin ladies with the Waltons showing up). Although it was implied that Elizabeth and Drew would someday be married, what about Jason, and Jim Bob? In one episode, Jason and his girlfriend overcame the obstacles they faced to getting married, yet the season left them unmarried, not dating and no explanation! Jason and Jim Bob probably never did fulfill their dreams of becoming a concert musician and an airplane pilot, and you're left wondering if they settled for what they were doing at the moment. Mary Ellen was left still studying to become a doctor and who knows how far Erin went in her career, as well. That's reasonable, but did Olivia and John ever come home? And what about Grandma? They finally did tell where she was, but it still leaves you with a lot of unanswered questions about her and everyone else. John Boy continued writing, of course, but they really should have done a tenth season to answer these questions about the other characters. Even if they could not do this on a practical basis, at the very least, they could have used the Special Feature at the end of the eighth season, known as "A Decade of the Waltons" for an ending here, where it really belonged, at the end of the nineth season (at the very end of the Walton's story). That would have given the ninth season and its viewers some closure, if not a really satisfying ending. Even with all of my complaints about it, I still love all of the Walton series, including this one, but this tells me one thing. -Endings are important and should be done right. I'd still recommend that you buy it because the only thing that you'll really be disappointed in, is that it all ends here. Sadly, there is no more 'Waltons' and we'll never see anything this good in a television series ever again. I'm sure that we can all say 'Amen' to that.

This takes you through a families life at a time when things were tough.The stories told by JohnBoy ,I enjoyed all of the seasons.I now have the whole set.

It is a Region 1 (USA) collection so we will have to buy a multi-region DVD player. They're cheap enough so it will be a sound investment for when the existing DVD player quits on us. We've enjoyed the whole story and are just going through Series 8. Here's hoping we can source the "one-offs".

I grew up with the Waltons and have always loved the series. The acting was second to none, and the family problems and conflicts are ones that we can all relate to. It is disappointing that Michael Learned was not in the later seasons. On a side note, I met Will Geer, Grandpa Walton, at the L.A. airport in January 1978 and it was one the highlights of my life. He was so gracious and kind to us! I want to add that you CAN get the specials in a dvd set which includes John Boy getting married. Anyway, I'd highly recommend this series.

Thank you so much for providing The Waltons Season 9. It seemed impossiable to get as I live in Ireland (Region 2 dvd) but once we got a multi region dvd player it worked perfectly. Picture is clear and sound is fantastic. Would defintely reccommend this seller, if your looking for dvds.

There is absolutely no problem with viewing and I've watched episodes so many times.
