Summary: THE BEST OF THE HOLIDAY MADE-FOR-TV MOVIES
Review: Hard to believe this tv movie is 27 years old now! No matter, the acting is superb and the story is especially heartwarming and sure to fill you with the holiday spirit. Patricia Neal proves she is an American treasure. Highly recommended for your video collection and to watch every Christmas for years to come.

Summary: an absolute necessity
Review: I can't really improve on what has already been said, but should CBS video decide to do a deluxe version of this some day with actual extras, I would like to suggest an 'audio-only' extra that would interest me: the full broadcast of the Fibber McGee & Molly show we hear snippets of in the movie as the family is gathered around the radio. But in the event that they never choose to reissue it after this year, grab it now, you won't be sorry you did.

Summary: The Homecoming is perfect holiday viewing
Review: I could not have said it better than the fine previous review. All I would add would be to mention Jerry Goldsmith's excellent score, and to say that this is quite simply one of the finest Christmas movies ever made.It should be on everyone's Christmas viewing list. If you've never seen it, you have missed something very special.I would also point out that Paramount has been notorious for pulling this title from the market with the previous vhs releases, so I wouldn't wait to add this dvd release to your collection.

Summary: my christmas movies collection
Review: I currently have a total of 8 christmas themed videos and this has definitely become the jewel of my collection. The Waltons is one of my favorite shows and I think it's neat that a show like this had such a warm and wonderful beginning

Summary: WE WANT THE WALTONS!!!!!!!
Review: I love the Walton series. I found this DVD by accident as I was searching other DVD's on Amazon. This DVD is very good.... quality wise. The story line is fantastic. A family that cares about each other. You don't see that much on TV any more. The story lauched the TV series "The Walton". I'm now waiting for the TV series (all 9 years) to be released on DVD by season sets. They have "Little House On The Prairie" out on DVD now, so lets get moving on this TV series. Does anybody out there hear me!!!!!! Also , how about the Walton movies that were made over the years. The ones from the 80's and the 3 movies that came out in the 90's. WE WANT THE WALTONS!!!! added 2/19/04.... ALRIGHT!!! You can now pre-order the first season of the Waltons here on Amazon.com.

Summary: Best Christmas movie ever!
Review: I recently saw "The Homecoming" for the first time in about 20 years. It brought back so many of my own Christmas memories. It's truly a very touching and heartwarming movie. I am so thankful I was able to buy the video because unfortunately there are no television networks that air this movie. I will continue to watch it each Christmas and start a tradition with my own daughter. I hope she will come to love this movie as much as I do.

Summary: Now how about "the Waltons" first 5 seasons on DVD?
Review: I saw this movie when it was first on in 1971 and have watched it at Christmas most every year since. Years ago it was usually on TV around Christmas and I taped it in the early 80's and have been watching this tape in recent years. This year I purchased the DVD (for only about $11! - I think blank VHS tapes were that much in the early 80's). The quality is outstanding, even when viewed on my 19-inch computer monitor from a couple of feet away. You can clearly see every detail (1933 on the car license plate, prices on the wall in Ike's store, even snow flakes melting on someone's face). Picture quality on most DVDs made from TV shows or TV movies is nowhere near this good. Believe me, this DVD is a real bargain.

Summary: Ignore warning about edited version
Review: Ignore the warning about this 98-minute version being "edited" down from 120 minutes. Those supposed missing 22 minutes are from commercial breaks when this production was televised in a two-hour slot. Nothing has been edited out in this great movie. And if you think 11 minutes of commercials an hour is a lot, hey, those were the days. It's closer to 16 minutes now.
