14/15 not bad for a Walton's fan. The Tomboy question stumped me but made perfect sense after I got it wrong.

13 out 15 is really not bad. Weekly show in the family as a child. Now a daily show that I don't miss. Love the Waltons. Wholesome TV show with morals.

I loved the TV series. It’s been in reruns many times and I still enjoy watching the Waltons. I didn’t care for the first episode before the series began.
