INSP presents The Waltons-The Childrens Carol with Richard Thomas, Ralph...

I watched this last night because they've been advertising the hell out of it. It was just ok. I've been watching The Waltons in order on INSP and it was weird to suddenly see Elizabeth with full teeth and Mary Ellen married with a kid. The writing wasn't as good as usual episodes and the Brit kids were weird. I didn't think much of the Brit actress.

OK, I understand there will be some trauma when dealing with London having been bombed but I doubt kids would be so terrified of everything as those were. Even of airplanes, when one flies over, they duck and hide. Then another causes the boy to freeze on the runway. Why they were even there, I don't remember. Dan raves about the 1st Walton's Christmas, which was a pilot for the show--as being much better. But this was ok if you don't have much else going on.
