So anyway, despite the new casting and poor writing, The Waltons pressed on with their final hoorah. In this season, the war ends. The boys return home. And the bosses at CBS finally figured out they had jumped the shark a couple years prior. Thankfully, the later reunion movies would prove to be much better fare than this season.
Warner Home Video’s presentation of The Waltons - The Final Season on DVD is about on par with the previous releases. The original 1.33:1 image is littered with scratches and debris, and the colors are a bit muted at times. The only sound option is an equally unrestored mono English (with SDH subtitles and closed captioning available). No extras are included.
Suffice to say, this isn’t a must-have for fans of The Waltons, but completionists will want it in their collection. Hopefully, the made-for-TV reunion movies will see the light of day soon, as they were a lot better than this.

It would be nice if they could get the original cast (including the original John boy) and do a reunion episode) hint hint..
something to tie the ends together as a family and see the walton parents as grandparents...maybe a christmas show
