The remarkable thing is that this series debuted on CBS right in the middle of that network's notorious [[UsefulNotes/TheRuralPurge Rural Purge]], the period from 1968 through 1973 in which shows like ''Series/TheBeverlyHillbillies'' and ''Series/GreenAcres'' were cancelled en masse for not appealing to desirable audience demographics. Instead of dying a quick death against ''Series/TheModSquad'' and ''Series/TheFlipWilsonShow'' as it was expected to do, ''The Waltons'' soon killed ''them'' and continued for a successful nine-year run. Some have therefore called it the lone survivor of the Rural Purge. The show and its cast also picked up several UsefulNotes/{{Emmy Award}}s and a Peabody.
