Ralp Waite was most famous for playing John Walton. As far as them being the 'good old days' as comments mention, I can't agree. This is a time period conservative Christians worhsip. Women had little education and no birth control . The life expectancy was much shorter. Thank you, but I prefer modern times.

I loved him as Jackson Gibbs in NCIS and still loved him back in the day as Pa Walton. Memory Eternal. :(

Ralph Waite was an interesting person. He's been a Presbyterian minister, but fell away from that due to church hypocrisy. He did later come back to the church, but it was a liberal congregation in Hollywood. He ran for Congress as a Democratic candidate three times. Ralph's character on The Waltons was not religious at all.
