Traditional
Primary
The series consistently champions traditional family values, self-reliance, and community bonds as the primary solutions to life's hardships, aligning its dominant themes with conservative principles.
The movie features primarily traditional casting, consistent with its historical setting, without explicit race or gender swaps. Its narrative focuses on traditional family values and portrays traditional identities in a neutral to positive light, without explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The Waltons consistently portrays Christianity as a positive, guiding force in the lives of the family and their community. It emphasizes virtues like compassion, forgiveness, and moral strength, with religious practices integrated respectfully into daily life.
The Waltons, a family drama set during the Great Depression and World War II, did not feature identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The series focused on the challenges and triumphs of a rural family in a historical context where such depictions were uncommon on mainstream television.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Waltons (1972 TV show) faithfully adapts the characters from Earl Hamner Jr.'s novels and the earlier film 'Spencer's Mountain.' All major characters maintain their established genders from the source material, with no instances of a character canonically established as one gender being portrayed as another.
The Waltons, based on Earl Hamner Jr.'s semi-autobiographical stories, depicts a white family in rural Virginia during the Depression. All main characters, established as white in source material, were consistently portrayed by white actors in the 1972 television series.
