Here’s a bit of light reading for you Will
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_waltons
Basicly, it’s a drama series about a huge family living in rural USA during the Great Depression/early World War2.
It’s a very community based area (think Emmerdale but without the sex).
The family was made up of Ma & Pa, Grandma and Grandpa and 7 kids. The most famous was John-Boy (this series coined the phrase “G’Night John-boy” )
It’s not a bad series, but looks really dated.
THIS (clicky) Is what The Waltons was famous for… the goodnight scene.
