I think the first mistake wasn't having Ben in the first one mess up with the chemistry that the original had it did not draw me into how the original did. I just Fast Forward to seeing the Ending because can't hold my attention for a min. I think they would have been better off having it be a completely different show that did not attach The Waltons Name to it. Not to be Rude but it feels like a Lifetime movie to me or they could have gone the route that the new wonder year reboot in just have it be in the same Universe. The Original feels more like a Family show the new one feels like a disillusion of the past, (especially as a black man race relationship wasn't like it because of Jim Crow Laws and the civil rights movement wasn't until 1954) this one did a little better making them look poor doing the depression era. Can the CW Producers just end it and make it into a Different Family movie and Show so I can enjoy it for what it is and not compare it to the original I only discover the Waltons In 2019 they do not feel how the characters could be. I would have liked to give it a chance because a Young Dylan actor plays Jim Bob, oh well hopefully they make the last one completely different from The Waltons Homecoming (2021) and A Waltons Thanksgiving Special(2022). But I do hope New People discover this and turn People to The Original show. Thank God they didn't touch Leave it to beaver, The Donna reed show The Danny Thomas Show/Make Room For Daddy The Andy Griffith Show Any other Classic.
