These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: The Waltons
They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Several fans dislike Season 9: Mainly because of the different actor for John-Boy and the episodes that focus on the sons fighting in the war. Plus by this point four of the original cast members had left.
Crowning Moment of Heartbreaking doubles as Harsherin Hindsight: The episode Grandma Comes Home is Ellen Corby's first episode back after her stroke, but it ends up being Grandpa's (Will Greer) last b/c he died during the show's hiatus. The next two episodes of S7 are dealing with the loss of Grandpa, as well as Flossie Brimmer (the actress also died).
