I started just by chance, flipping through channels and I found it on Hallmark channel. So I didn't start on season 1. But I watched all the episodes, then got the movies. Now I have been watching season 1 on Hallmark to catch up to where I had started. Well I am now up to where I started. I know I could continue to watch the show but it is 3 hours in the afternoon and it takes up a lot of my time. The last episode was a good one to leave it on. Jim Bob thought he had to rub qway because no one was listening to him. John Boy and father Walton in all their wisdom know how to manage everything when they found him. So now I have to say goodby to them. My DH will enjoy my company in the afternoons again, I can get chores done better. Maybe I'll start hem again when my brain forgets I have seen the series. Oh, the movie collection did not include the original movie.
