1981  
 
In the conclusion of a two-part story, Quincy (Jack Klugman) races against time to locate and neutralize the mysterious neurological disease that has already claimed three lives on a luxury liner. Though some of the pasengers have managed to escape to shore, the ship is now quarantined and prohibited from docking at any port. Thus Quincy must not only stem the epidemic, but also track down those on dry land who may still be spreading it--and worse yet, his own girlfriend Janet (Diana Muldaur) is now gravely ill. Originally telecast over a two-week period, Slow Boat to Madness has since been syndicated as a single two-hour "TV movie." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

1981  
 
While on furlough, Jim-Bob (David W. Harper) is pursued by an impulsive lass named Kathy (played by a very young Jennifer Jason Leigh), who insists that she is pregnant--and that Jim-Boy is the father. And half a world away, Ben (Eric Scott) is having a great deal of difficulty curbing his rebellious streak as he sits out the war in a Japanese POW camp. It can be argued that the problems of both Walton brothers are resolved by episode's end--though one of them still has a long way to go before he's completely out of the woods. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

1977  
 
Jason (Jon Walmsley) finds a kindred spirit in Fern Lockwood (Linda Marsh), a timid recluse who shares his love of music--and curiously knows a great deal about the Walton family. As he gradually coaxes Fern out of her shell, Jason discovers that he shares something else with the woman: both he and Fern have recently endured the sudden loss of someone near and dear. Meanwhile, Ben (Eric Scott) takes a "big city" job in Norfolk, leaving John (Ralph Waite) shorthanded when the lumber yard lands a hefty government contract. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
