Waltons Pilot
Made for TV Movie that served as the TV pilot episode for The Waltons. All exterior shots are filmed in the Grand Tetons National Park, Wyoming (from my experience, the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains only get a blizzard every 5 years on average). The movie differs TV by taking place in a Virginia log cabin home and the parents and grandfather are not the TV series actors; also the Baldwin Sisters and Ike are different actors too. The 1930's acted in the 1970's viewed in 2016 was a comfort to watch. The Waltons was one of my Grandmother's favorite TV shows along with MASH and The Lawrence Welk Show, and I remember sharing the reading of a companion The Waltons book with her too at the time. It brought back a lot of memories. I gave the DVD to my Mother In Law for Mother's Day who now lives nearby in Jackson Hole, WY.
