World War II has a profound impact on The Waltons: The Complete Seventh Season, as does the absence of John-Boy Walton (Richard Thomas), central figure in the first six years of the popular television drama. With John-Boy offscreen, stationed in England and writing for the American “Stars and Stripes” military magazine, The Waltons places its entire focus on the rest of the clan. One can feel a gap in the show, but The Complete Seventh Season holds up largely because of the war’s influence on storylines. Patriarch John Sr. (Ralph Waite), his wife Olivia (Michael Learned), and their large brood spend 1941 adjusting to ceaseless changes, beginning with increased demand on John’s lumber mill to meet defense contract demands. With John spending more and more time off the mountain negotiating with the government like a buttoned-down businessman, operation of the Waltons’ mill falls to his son Ben (Eric Scott), who has to learn what it means to be the boss of hired hands. Meanwhile, Jason (Jon Walmsley) gets closer to graduation and still makes his way by playing piano at the Dew Drop Inn. He also finds himself feeling guilty over not enlisting in the war effort, but is uncertain about whether or not he might be a conscientious objector–a position that doesn’t sit well with some of the men in town.
Jim-Bob (David W. Harper) dreams (and dreams) of becoming a pilot but is too young to enlist. The laconic teen also falls in love with a girl leaning toward entering a convent–the experience is painful, to say the least. But something in Jim-Bob grows up after that and stays that way. As for the girls, Mary Ellen (Judy Norton Taylor) struggles with a full-time job as a nurse while leaving her baby at home, though none of those complications compares with the loss she endures the day Japan attacks Pearl Harbor, where her doctor husband is stationed. Erin (Mary Beth McDonough) and Elizabeth (Kami Cotler) carry on with work and school, and Grandma (Ellen Corby) gets around pretty well while suffering the long-term results of a stroke. The war affects everything on Walton’s Mountain, including race relations, the clientele at the Dew Drop Inn, the employment scene. But if that’s not enough change for The Complete Seventh Season, there’s a whopper of a development midway through the year affecting the health and presence of Olivia in the show. There’s always change on The Waltons, but none has ever been quite as extensive or sad as what happens on The Complete Seventh Season. Despite (or even because of) the withdrawal of Richard Thomas from The Waltons, there is a delicate balance between the other characters heretofore unseen. –Tom Keogh

Oh how much I love this show!! I know it is about Depression times and how to live and survives. It is excellent! I am trying to get them all seasons when ever it is available! My Great-Grandma and Grandma times… Thanks.

- good old family values
not as good as the first few seasons. No John Boy and no grandpa. Even the mother-Oliva leaves mid season. The lessons aren’t as good but the values are still good.
Rating: - Excelletn
The Walton’s is a wonderful series, I have purchase all 7 seasons and I am waiting for the 8th to be released. Excellent, wholesome and really what life was about in the thirties and forties.
Rating: - The Waltons are the best
This season is just as great as those preceding it. We felt the loss of Grandpa just as if he were a member of out family. We have every season of the Waltons to come out so far and plan on purchasing the final seasons.
Rating: - Tremendous enjoyment for entire family
Having watched all seven seasons of the Waltons, I am sad that it had to end. This is perhaps one of the best series that has ever been on television and a must for all families to watch together.
