Hard day at work.Discussed calling Phyllis with Mom...sorta.
Still enjoying THE WALTONS. I'm glad ODE TO BILLIE JOE got me watching the show again because of the Southern tie-in. Might lead to me going to see that movie again this weekend!
Got the new RBCC.
Still feeling very creative but I can't seem to come up with a good story at all or even come up with a good poem! Ugh!
NOTES: Nothing worse than feeling creative and not being able to create. Right now, for example, I have to finish a short story. I was hoping to have it done by last weekend. I haven't even looked at what I have this week. Just...ugh!
I really did have a love/hate thing with THE WALTONS. The writing and acting was generally top-notch and I dearly loved THE HOMECOMING, which spawned the series. Heck, I even loved SPENCER'S MOUNTAIN with Henry Fonda, a feature film adapted from the same source material years earlier. By this late point it could be said that the 1972 CBS series was getting a little creaky but it continued on for several more years. Even afterwards, it would be revived in TV movies.
Star Richard Thomas reportedly came through my store at the airport a few years back...but I was off that day. ):
The Homecoming is one of my favorites as well. I watch it every Christmas. I recall my mother making a big deal about it being on when it originally aired. How we gasped when Mary Ellen called her siblings a bunch of Piss Ants.
ReplyDeleteThe Waltons episode aired was a repeat of "The Competition" (OAD October 30 1975) with Erin (Mary McDonough) having the great love-interest story here with young Michael O'Keefe.
