While reading @marlina post on the Walton's - Good Night John Boy, it sparked a memory of my own, after my family had all gotten their own homes, my son married, my eldest daughter single but settled, I used to post on my facebook every Sunday evening a message "Good Night John Boy" followed by tagging each of their names, as well as the names of my dearest. I wish they would re-televise the Walton Series - it was one of the greatest shows I have seen. Many of the actors have gone on to become celebrities, and others have left for green pastures, but what stays relevant is the family greeting at each days end "Good Night John Boy" here is a clip from one of the many great shows - a Christmas flash back. Enjoy!

I used to love the Waltons too, and I believe they run it somewhere on Sky TV.

@Inlemay I watched it a few months ago, but I can't remember what channel it was on - perhaps the 'Yesterday' channel.

That is cute. We have The Walton's on rerun here all the time. Even the holiday specials are playing off and on. My daughter watches it daily.

Not watched these episodes but enjoyed this clip. That is a nice thing you are doing on FB. Do they return your wishes too?

In the 70s I was still hooked on Star Trek if it was on TV, but I worked 6pm to about 1am and most regular TV shows weren't on that late if there was anything on TV at all. It was a time when many TV channels ended their viewing days around 1 or 2am.
