Mary Ellen kicks a pill problem in less than a hour...please! This episode lacks credibility because of Ms Norton's wooden acting. I've always had trouble with the Walton children acting ability. When they were younger you could excuse it because of lack of experience, but as they grew older it's hard to ignore. Here is the painful proof that Judy Norton does not have the acting chops to play a convincing pill popping nurse. Aside from that it is clear that Richard Thomas will be sorely missed.
