- Quotes
Mary Ellen Walton: [while helping serve dinner] It must be awful to be somebody's wife and have to do this every day of your life!

Featured review
Poetry And Airplane Flying
This isn't the best episode. Still it's worth watching. Michael Learned gets a movie, where she wants to break out of her life. It does seem for a tranquil and loving place, the Waltons seem anxious to leave. And the guests in the home often come with baggage. And the grandparents aren't fooled a bit. Paul Michael Glaser comes off as irresponsible. Still the family has a chance to straighten him out. Somehow the atmosphere of a loving place and a joyful score bring the short together
Jim Bob actually has a good scene. And Ike is charming, as well. The store rivals the school and the church as a second home for the family.
