Made account, especially for this -
25 November 2022
Firstly, I am so sad that *this* is what caused me to create an account.

Secondly, Hiiiiiiii. Huge fan of 1920s films to present.

I'm an X-er, so right off the bat, you either have no notion what this "the Waltons" are, or YOU KNOW and are either being silent or adjusting for time. Either way, YOU ARE WRONG AND INCONSISTENT.

B 1974. Glorious time; grandparents being b.1908-12, parents b. 1934-1938, and older siblings beginning in 1959, one year after parents were married.

Also of note; I grew up in a religious household, I would wager mainly because my 4xAncestors settled a church, to which everyone in my family belonged (lol, until me! I lived abroad and also a very far away big city).

I watched 14:12 minutes of this program. About 3 minutes in (and, given the introduction from the original John-Boy (Thomas) and the Theme Song, this led me to believe that maybe it would have SOME similarities between the 1970s program to the 2022 massacre.

I was sorely wrong.

This is an atrocity. Who is writing this, AND, more importantly, WHO is directing THIS? At this point, I am VEHEMENTLY CHASTISING the wardrobe department. I'm sorry, 1:14 (yes, one minute, 14 seconds), a character (of which might prove to be VERY consequential), pops out from the back of a traveling van and says his red hair is why no one will a adopt him. YES, the red hair is most certainly a reason no one with this wonderful and beautiful mane was adopted for many, many years, -- my mind is on something else.

WARDROBE MISMANAGEMENT.

NO ONE. I repeat, NO ONE, has bluer-than-blue overalls. The newness of the blue is so NEW and BRIGHT, it causes saturation of the colors that surround it.

YES. THIS THIS THIS was my breaking point.

The original Waltons AT LEAST had wardrobes that LOOKED like they were from 30-40 years prior.

This particular construct gave up at what was available in 2020s, and the wardrobe department or that which checks the believability of the time period -- needs to reassess their life choices.

I'm sad about this. I wanted to LURVE IT. Instead, I am switching movies to something a little more consistent with the time period they are projecting and wanting you to believe.
