The Waltons shelter a deaf girl (Erica Hunton) left on their back porch by her mother because her father insists on institutionalizing her.
This is the first season to have the 1971–1978 Lorimar Productions "LP" logo. Consisted of 25 episodes airing on CBS. Emily Baldwin was played by Dorothy Stickney, to be replaced by Mary Jackson in the series. Mamie Baldwin was played by Josephine Hutchinson, replaced by Helen Kleeb in the series. David Huddleston who played Sheriff Ep Bridges in the movie, would return in the first season "The Literary Man" as writer A.J.Covington. The cast includes: Patricia Neal as Olivia Walton, Edgar Bergen as Grandpa Zeb Walton, William Windom as Charlie Snead, Woodrow Parfrey as Ike Godsey, and Cleavon Little as Hawthorne Dooley. Note: Several of the lead actors (excluding all of the children and Grandma Walton) are different from those in the series. However, John Walton ( Andrew Duggan), who has taken work in Waynesboro, Virginia, about 35 miles away, is late returning home, and his family is becoming increasingly worried. On Christmas Eve 1933, the Waltons are preparing for the holiday. ^ Tied with Little House on the PrairieĮpisodes Pilot (1971) Title. ^ Tied with The Partridge Family and Medical Center. I only know that I felt a lack of true love between them. However, as I said earlier, I cannot know what the true facts were behind the pairing of these two. Her character did not appear to be one of a loving nature with her husband. I couldn't help feeling sorry for Judy Norton. This Norton/Bower pairing was the only instance in the history of this excellent show where the characters seemed wooden with each other. Very strange for this warm-hearted show where warm kisses were regularly on display between John and Liv. They hugged a couple of times, but that was all. Naturally, they both speak of their love and how the other will be missed by the parting. In their last scenes together (when Curt returns from his US Army base, and was just readying for his assignment at Pearl Harbor), they are talking in the doctor's office. All I do know was: that I was relieved when Bower's character died. Perhaps it was Norton's lack of experience? Perhaps it was Bower who was not crazy about the role? I don't know. Sad to say, the emotions seemed limp between them. I kept looking for it, in each episode in which they appeared together. I never experienced any easy openness between Norton and Bower. The beauty of The Waltons was the openness and easy expression of love and affection within the family, as well as for others who were close. Perhaps it was simply due to Norton's lack of acting experience.but I came away (again and again) with the sense that she really did not want to be in a clinch with this guy and she did not not want to kiss this guy who was playing her husband. But this seeming lack of chemistry really showed itself after Norton and Bower's characters were married. Even with the first episode introducing Bower (as Mary Ellen prepares to marry a different man). 
The brunt of this lack of chemistry seems, in my reading of the episodes, to have come from Norton. What has bothered me for some time has been my feeling that the chemistry between Judy Norton and Tom Bower was simply never there.
However, I will say that it wasn't one of the best of the seventh season, in my opinion. This isn't really a review of this episode.
