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

12/15 would have been 13 but I hit the wrong button
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.

14 out of 15
I enjoyed the game about the Walton sisters...I knew every answer!
The Waltons one of the best family show ever. I forgot Mary Ellen was the tomboy.
Maryellen got married twice. Once to Curt on the show and later to Jonsie in one of the movies.
14/15. Thought Erin was the animal lover b/c of The Fawn.
I just finished watching all episodes and to those who may not know this, there is a movie made before the Walton series started. Cast for the parents were different, the store was different and so was the owner, but was fun to watch the first original cast of the movie. Go watch this movie, you appreciate the cast of the series of Walton’s. Grandpa really was my favorite character! Hilariou!
Hilarious not Hilariou!
Do you mean the Christmas show or Spencer’s Mountain
Hard to believe Will Geer was a card carrying communist. Look it up on Wikipedia.

Was Mary Ellen ( the actress who played her) the one who posed for Playboy the year after the show went off the air?
She did pose. Not sure of the timeline.
David , Judy who played Mary Ellen did pose in August of 1985... She wanted to shed her goodie goodie appeal from the show
