A Walton Thanksgiving Reunion marks the first time the original cast members have been together since Richard Thomas and Michael Learned left the TV series. Set 20 years after the series finale, the year is 1963 and the family is getting together to celebrate Thanksgiving and are all reflecting on how the assassination of President Kennedy has affected them.
There are some modern touches that really weren't in the original series so many felt this special wasn't true to the Waltons series. Still, an enjoyable movie, with the return of John Boy and Olivia. There are also many cameos from favorite characters of the show, which make this a great show to watch and recall the series with family.
Starring: Richard Waite, Michael Learned, Richard Thomas, Ellen Korby, and Judy Norton-Taylor.
First aired in 1993, and available in a wonderful collection of DVDs of all the movie specials made after the series was cancelled.

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol has been adapted for film many times (maybe I'll look that up?) and has a version currently in theaters as I write this. I suppose we will see it when it comes to DVD, but for now I will happily watch The Muppet Christmas Carol from 1992. Yes, it is the Muppets, the Puppets from Jim Henson, later purchased by Disney. And it is a musical, like most Muppet movies. But it does hold true to the original tale, and the actors all do a fine job of bring the tale to life for the whole family.
A Charlie Brown Christmas is one of most loved Christmas TV specials of all time, first seen in 1965. One of a series of Peanuts TV specials, this wonderful animated short film is watched every Christmas by millions of families over the world.
