The Waltons: The Fire (1973)
Episode 16, Season 1
A-Typical Hollywood

What a surprise to see 1973 Hollywood family TV present the then fairly controversial topics of Atheism & fanatic religious zealotry. The Waltons never held appeal personally as the subject matter was banal and folksy but when I by happenstance saw what this episode story was about, I didn't know what was coming. The depth of the antagonist character portrayed was indicative of the very real problem of striving to present differing viewpoints to those who are convinced of their position to the point of obnoxious or even malicious obtruding on others. What a great piece of historical fiction writing from Mr. Hamner Jr. Admirable.
