Where to start with The Waltons

Air order and story order are the same the whole way through, which is unusual. The only thing to decide is how you feel about the lead being replaced two thirds of the way in.

  1. 1
    The Homecoming, then the series The Homecoming: A Christmas Story

    The pilot is in continuity but recast, so expect different faces for the parents and the grandfather.

  2. 2
    Seasons 1 to 5 The Waltons

    One hundred and twenty-five episodes with the original John-Boy. A lot of viewers stop here, and it is a defensible place to stop.

  3. 3
    Seasons 6 to 9 The Waltons

    Three guest appearances in season six are the last of Richard Thomas. Season seven works round his absence, and season eight recasts the part outright behind an amnesia storyline.

  4. 4
    The three 1990s films A Walton Thanksgiving Reunion

    A Walton Thanksgiving Reunion, A Walton Wedding and A Walton Easter, in that order. These are the ones with the original leads back.

Then what? The three 1982 films sit between the series and the 1990s ones chronologically, and are worth knowing about mainly for who is missing from them. The two CW films are a separate remake with a new cast.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
