Fonda is so endearing in this episode. To see such an incredible actor in a TV series then is incomparable as to seeing how brilliant he was now. So long ago. The cast must have been enthralled to work with him, and how lucky, AND to have Joanne Woodward directing this episode-- wow.

There are classic B & W movies. What my sister who is 72 likes to watch and Hallmark movies. She likes Heartland. I don’t watch that. Sometimes I watch a Hallmark movie. For years I watched The Waltons and before that Little House On The Prairie. I watched Highway to Heaven and Touched by An Angel. One of my favorite Highway to Heaven episodes was the one with the man who thought he was King Arthur and he had a grown son. Loved that episode. I think I saw about all of The Waltons episodes as reruns. When Family came out I was married and my husband watched something else. I remember it. But I don’t remember any of the episodes. I remember the pictures on the piano. Not a show my husband would like. That’s OK. Found these videos in 2022 and still watching in 2023. New to me. Some of the episodes I like better than others. This is a good one. I like when Kate’s mother came to visit them before she died. The Thanksgiving episode when they went to the Grandmother’s farm is a favorite.
