Grandma Comes HomeThis is last season in which all 11 members of the family appear although
there is not an episode with all of them in it. Grandma's performance in
Grandma Comes Home will never be forgotten. Richard Thomas is a guest star in The Return and The Revelation. Mary Ellen becomes a mother in The Grandchild. Jason is featured in The Recluse and The Family Tree. Ben and Jim bob have some great moments in Spring Fever. Olivia is featured in The Milestone and The Children's Carol. Elizabeth also has some great episodes - The Rumor, The Warrior, and The Ordeal. Erin has a great episode when she loses G.W. in The Volunteer. Racism is addressed in The Stray, The Festival and The Family Tree. The Waltons find out that they may have not have been the first to "own" Walton's Mountain in the Warrior. Jon and Olivia celebrate their 25th anniversary this season. Will Geer shines as Grandpa through the whole season. This is such a great season of the best family drama ever.
I highly recommend this season with 5 stars!!

It's a big year for welcomes on Walton's Mountain. Welcome back to John- Boy, visiting from New York, and to Grandma, finally home from the hospital. And welcome to the family for Mary Ellen and Curt's baby boy John Curtis. But all that joy is set against the tragedy of events in the outside world. As the fall of 1939 turns into the spring of 1940, war rages in Europe...and the Waltons are soon caught in its chilling grasp. Curt is called up for duty. Soldiers train on Walton property. The first local enlistee dies. British children flee the Blitz for the safety of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Depression is ending...but even tougher times lie ahead.

The Waltons: The Complete Eighth Season Review

Season Eight was a particular interesting year for The Waltons. Michael Learned (Olivia) returned for twelve episodes, Ellen Corby is seen in fewer episodes as Grandma, and Robert Wightman makes his first appearance as John-Boy; replacing Richard Thomas for the rest of the series.
Despite these things, the show still retained its family values, and appeal. The season begins with World War II raging, John-Boy is missing in action, Jason is in charge of recruits, and Olivia struggles to keep up with her changing family. Erin, Elizabeth, and Mary Ellen do their best to help in the war effort, and Ben and Cindy have their first baby.
When Olivia leaves to go back to the Sanitorium, Rose--a close family member--comes to help with the needs of the family. Jason befriends a woman named Toni (his future wife), and Jim-Bob finishes flight school and heads to war as a pilot.
The following is a list of the 24 episodes of this season:
1. The Home Front (1)
2. The Home Front (2)
3. The Kinfolk
4. The Diploma
5. The Innocents
6. The Starlet
7. The Journal
8. The Lost Sheep
9. The Violated (1)
10. The Waiting (2)
11. The Silver Wings
12. The Wager
13. The Spirit
14. The Fastidious Wife
15. The Unthinkable
16. The Idol
17. The Prodigals
18. The Remembrance
19. The Inspiration
20. The Last Straw
21. The Traveling Man
22. The Furlough
23. The Medal
24. The Valediction
While it is true that by this point in the show, some of the quality was degrading. But, for a true fan, this season is a Godsend.

With the exception of a few guest spots, this was Richard Thomas' final season as John-Boy. Stand out episodes include:
The Vigil - Mary Ellen makes a wrong diagnosis that puts Grandma near death.
The Baptism - Olivia struggles to get John and her kids baptized during a revival.
The Firestorm - John-Boy causes panic when he publishes parts of Hitler's Mein Kampf in his newspaper.
The Wedding - Mary Ellen goes through personal changes leading up to her wedding.
The Cloudburst - John-Boy crosses a line with Grandpa when he sells his meadow to a developer.
The Pony Cart - the best episode of the season IMO. Aunt Martha Corrine comes to visit the family and upsets everyone. But she's hiding a secret.
The Best Christmas - Olivia desperately wants the family to be together because she feels that this will be the last Christmas that the whole family will be together.
The Inferno - John-Boy travels to NJ and witnesses the Hindenburg disaster.
The Long Night - While visiting Esther in the hospital, Grandpa causes a disturbance and is banned from the hospital. Heartbreaking episode.
The Achievement - Grab your hankies. John-Boy travels to New York to check on the status of his novel and discovers it's time to leave home.
