At this time, we need the Waltons more than ever. I saw the ads and was so excited. I was more than disappointed. They omitted one of the children (Ben), the kids were rude, made comments about how MaryEllen is wanting breasts for Christmas and that is why she is so grumpy, the kids hit each other, Olivia was too tolerant of the "Recipe" and Olivia was loud! If you are going to remake a beloved movie, please keep it as close to the original screenplay as possible. I get things can be different, but this was so far off the mark, I was saddened by it. I understand this was a CW movie, but that doesn't mean they had to pander to that audience.
