Waltons Original Teleplay - When it first aired, no one ever imagined that a sweet feel-good drama about a large family trying to survive in a rural small town during the depression would go past a few episodes. However, "The Waltons" (1971-1981) hit a nerve with America, and it became a massive long-running hit. This is an actual production used original script from the episode entitled "The Collision" (Season 4, Episode 24 - first aired on March 4th, 1976). It has an even grandeur distinction since it was directed by "John-Boy", Richard Thomas. Includes the original script cover.
