Watch this video of the Today show reunion of the cast of The Waltons, the tv show he created 40 years ago, read Lisa Provence's 2003 interview, and decide for yourself.

Didn't know that Sissy Spacek got her start on the Walton's - guess she's come home. Fun seeing them all grown up on the Today show.
