An Emmy-winning episode in the lives of TV's most beloved family
Fall on Walton's Mountain is always a time of great anticipation but there's more in the air for John-Boy Walton (Richard Thomas) this autumn; college entrance exams and the impending holiday visit of Jenny Pendleton. "Not just any girl," in John-Boy's opinion, "but the girl." But when John-Boy suffers a seemingly harmless head injury, he and the rest of the family now face the greatest challenge of their lives: a risky operation that can cure - or permanently disable - the eldest son.
The THANKSGIVING STORY represents The Waltons at its sensitive best. Joanna Lee won an Emmy for her script, which skillfully weaves moments of homespun humor and heartrending drama. |
