Outline
The Waltons: The Complete Third Season finds series creator Earl Hamner's running story about the proud, Depression-era family living and working on Walton's Mountain going through some changes. The big news is that oldest son John-Boy (Richard Thomas) is now a freshman at Boatwright University, pursuing his dream of becoming a writer but encountering a lot of tough challenges and distractions. Still living at home but driving to classes every day, John-Boy gets an unpleasant taste of hazing from arrogant upperclassmen, grief from impatient professors, insecurity in a competitive writing class, and an ever-broadening sense of how the other half lives through exotic, quirky, yet sometimes sweet and attractive young women he meets on campus. Meanwhile, John-Boy's father, John Walton (Ralph Waite), nurses a dream of opening a father-and-son-operated lumber mill, knowing full well that the very busy John-Boy can't do much without sacrificing his education. (John also discovers next-in-line son Jason (Jon Walmsley) is already dreaming about his own career beyond the mountain.) Walton mom Olivia (Michael Learned) looks wistful over the speed with which her children are growing up, and Grandpa (Will Geer) tries to do his part for the family's well-being within the limits of his age and rocky health. The Complete Third Season starts powerfully with a story about Walton kin, living elsewhere on the mountain, who refuse to leave their generations-long home in an eminent domain struggle with the government. Glimpses of the world Grandpa grew up in--full of moonshine, guns, and hardheaded men and women--abound in this fascinating episode. Other dramas concern heart problems for Grandpa; a runaway crisis when Jim-Bob (David W. Harper) bolts from home; a proper (and long-delayed) wedding for formerly eloped couple John and Olivia; a horse race that's supposed to be fun but takes on greater dimension; and troubles for John-Boy with a femme fatale and Boatwright's flawed honor code. --Tom Keogh

 | Heartwarming and wholesome show you want your family to watch. Mar 17, 2007 |
| My all time favorite TV series that's heartwarming and instills a sense of value that America used to have. Why can't they make shows like this today with good moral values, where the kids respect the parents and the Dad is a good leader of his household? | | | | The Waltons - Third Season Mar 9, 2007 |
| Excellent stories for the whole family to enjoy. The Waltons are not without their trials but the remain a close knit family. My family enjoys the wholesome entertainment that the Walton series offers. | | | | The Walton Saga Feb 22, 2007 |
| This not applies to the 3rd season but for all the seasons of The Waltons. These seasons are about family values and the importance of having family traditions and the belief in humanity without prejudice. I loved watching The Waltons when the series first aired and very happy they are now being released for me to enjoy again and again. I am looking forward to future releases of this series | | | | Good As Remembered Feb 8, 2007 |
| This brings back a lot of memories of childhood. Great addition to my collection. | | |  | No English subtitles, FRENCH ONLY!! DUH Feb 4, 2007 |
In what must have been a production error? or just flat idiots that run the show making dvds, ( seems to be common on way to many dvd's )
the subtitles are in French only. There are no English subtitles.
Obviously someone at Warners Home Video has made a bad mistake in production. This makes it difficult for any elderly viewers or hard of hearing that might want to watch this show. ( um hey, guess what, they have money to spend, too! ) Are you HEARING that?
Subtitles are supposed to be standard on all DVD box sets and I note that overseas versions of The Waltons have corrected this mistake(just not the American version).
This is getting to be old hat by now. I have some dvd's that are 10 years old that are CC. just flat lazy and ignorant decisions.
The Deaf and hard of hearing are the last "group" in the USA to still be looking for they're rights. Everyone else has recieved them in the last 50 years. How long is this going to go on??
Socialist France gets to watch and understand the great show, but not those in our own country. amazing
No Good Night John Boy in this house. | | | Write your own review about The Waltons - The Complete Third Season
